HMS Lady Jezebel

General Description

The Lady Jezebel is an ancient three masted sixth rate Frigate, making her one of the smallest rated ships in the Annwyn Imperial Navy. However due to her advanced design she easily out guns and out sails anything on the western coast of Valtentis or in the The Thousand Isles. While a Thousand Isle Galleon for instance can give her a good fight it is far slower and less maneuverable, when she is matched against Thousand Isle ships she can generally outfight what she can’t outrun.

While she was abandoned during the The Recall of the Annwyn five hundred years ago, the enchanted substances she is composed of make her still (mostly) operational.

Condition:

For the most part while her bones are sturdy and she has no leaks (see magical effects below) she is a mess. 

• Under the water line she is heavily covered with barnacles and kelp. Until she gets a thorough scraping her speed is reduced by 1

• Her sail plan is currently a traditional 17th century ship rigged sail plan

Special Properties

• Made of enchanted wood (lignum vitae): the physical construction of the ship used a type of enchanted lumber that is impervious to fire and rot. As a result her hull is still sound even after 500 years at anchor.  Musician 

• Similarly the cloth of her sails is very resistant to the passage of time, and somewhat resistant to fire 

• The 12 Jack’s are also made of the same magical wood which gives them immunity to rot and fire 

• The hinges, pulleys and other metal accoutrements of the ship where made of a rust resistant steel alloy and still are mostly functional or have already been replaced by Firebeard

• The +1 magical cannon look fresh and new as the day they were made. However the rest of the cannon on the ship are badly rusted and are not functional . They mostly cannot be repaired outside of the use of magical techniques 

• Under the water line , the carpenters stores and sail room both contain considerable spare supplies 

• Great Cabin

  • Magical table in the great cabin (unidentifiable)

  • Navigation instruments 

  • Bookcase: magical and locked containing
