The material of the ship’s construction was alien to Tanis.
It was neither wood, metal, stone, nor one of the magical materials he had
encountered. It rested in one of the high docks of the port while its cargo was

He asked a passerby what race of beings owned the craft. The
woman shook her head, saying that no one had ever seen the crew or the merchants
of the strange ships. They communicated with the city’s traders via buzzing homunculi
bearing messages in a strange, spidery version of the common script.
