In what is viewed as an attempt to garner imperial favor, Baron Wintersong has pledged to donate the first ship completed to the Kaiser for the Imperial Navy. With a sleek steel and aluminium design, a hydrodynamic hull, and an armament dominated by five three-inch guns, Imperial officers are already saying the yet-unnamed ship (pictures from the trial voyage in the calm waters of Avakair Harbor are available below) will be a valuable addition to the Shirerothian fleet.
In order to raise national interest in the new design, I am sponsoring a "Name That Ship" contest. The rules are simple - think of a name for the ship being given to the Kaiser. All entries should be received by this weekend, when I will judge the suggestions and choose a winner.
There are two prizes. The first is that the winning name will appear on the side of the ship when it is formally presented. The second is that the winner will receive his own custom Pridwen-Class Destroyer. By "custom", I mean that I will make you a picture of a ship made to your specifications. You can tell me what flag to fly, what name to use, what color scheme and materials it uses, what sort of scene it's in, and what sort of modifications you want (MINOR modifications only, I don't want to have to make a whole new model) and I will make you a picture of it in a week or so.
If anyone who doesn't win the contest wants a custom destroyer, I'll make it for you for a price. I can't think of what kind of price I could charge, but tell me what you can offer and we can bargain. If someone wants an entirely different model (something other than a destroyer) you can bring it up, but you would need to make a REALLY tempting offer.
