The Talaria

"She's not just a boat. She's a masterpiece of Daedalian engineering. Treat her right, and she'll sail you to the edge of the world. Mistreat her, and... well, hope you can swim."

  • Philon

  • Builder: Daedalus (Disputed/Legendary)
  • Propulsion: Hybrid (Oars/Magic)

The Talaria is a living construct. She does not require a rowing crew; her white oars function on the mental intent of the Captain. She is currently disguised as a standard merchant vessel to blend in with the Mythic Verge's naval traffic.

Onboard Facilities​

The Portal​

The connection point to Sigil. This is where new party members arrive and depart. The room smells of ozone and cedar.

Clean Exits

This is the mechanical anchor of our drop-in format. No matter where the Talaria sails in the Mythic Verge, this portal always leads back to the shop's central hub in Sigil. At the end of our scheduled time, the portal activates, ensuring all characters return home safely with their loot and experience.

The Captain's Quarters​

Philon’s domain. It is cluttered with maps, half-finished clockwork birds, and bottles of wine.

Meeting Space​

A magically expanded space below deck to debrief and unwind. It features seating for 6. Don't comment on the smell here.

Ship Rules​

These are Captain Philon's rules for the crew, separate from the Shop's Code of Conduct.

  1. No Fire Below Deck: We are made of wood. The Brazen Heart is already trying to burn us; don't help it.
  2. Respect the Oars: Do not use the magical oars for laundry drying. They are sensitive.
  3. The Wine Policy: If you drink the Captain's wine, you tell him. If you don't, you might find yourself scrubbing the hull.
