That's right, a ship! Cercatori d'Arte will be the first modern day pack to have its own ship to sail around in, and it will be so with your help! You've noticed the lovely map extension that the SA have given Souls, and that SuSoWriMo is right around the corner, so what better way to combine the two by creating something new and exciting? You can get your character involved in making Cercatori d'Arte's first ship, and it will hopefully be the first of many! Once done, the ship can sail to many convenient places, such as Salsola, around the mountains to Ichika no Ho-en, and New Brunswick.
In these threads, your character will help out with building the boat and build relationships and interactions with other characters. You'll be able to focus on writing about their interactions with the other members more than the actual task, so don't worry, the threads will be plenty of fun!
The boat is the Yankee Star and will look like this model. It is 40 feet across and will be able to hold a maximum of 20 members. Because this model is a yacht, instead of the lower margin being deluxe luxury rooming, half of the space will be used for bedding for the sailors on the boat and the other half will be used for livestock and goods that will be traded and used to sustain the sailors on their journey. Here is a picture of what the boat looks like while being built.
