The Description Game
RedRoach:
The Schophere is the projectile-generator of the Hades cannon. While the hades cannon does use up ammuniton, the Schophere is used to charge, ignite, and launch said ammunition. It has been found in many other places in use that generally revolve around heating and ballistic projectiles, such as the secret location of the Cake factories, or as a protective thief-killer of a Blacksmith's home. However, care must be taken to secure any Schopheres correctly, otherwise the uncontrolled charge can cause it to explode and burn down surrounding airships, houses, or pastries.
Tarmtanoa
BdrLineAzn:
An old snake oil type elixir, Tarmtanoa is a cheaply made alcohol created by lowly merchants from the Mercantile Guild. It was advertised as an one all cure all drink that can cure any ailments. Many believed that it did have amazing curing abilities but it was the alcohol content that numbs the brain of reason and pain. After much time, accidents have occurred from people becoming too drunk from this elixir that an investigation started. But before any real evidence had been collected, the merchants disappeared without a trace taking with them the money of the Guild. Today Tarmtanoa is a highly sought after drink as the rarity of it now has prices going up to the thousands.
Conddle
Dr Pantaleon:
Conddle is the Anglean name for a small, airborne cetacean. They are about three meters in length and look very much like a bloated seal. Unlike their large cousins, the legendary sky whales, Conddles are not able to stay in the air indefinitely. They rest on mountaintops and use their small flippers to flutter from rock to rock. They mainly eat plants, but once in a while they will attempt to catch passing birds - and always fail miserably.
Because of their clumsy behaviour in the air, inept Anglean pilots are sometimes called Conddles.
Cataglottist
RedRoach:
A cataglottist, commonly mistaken by the small amount of peasantry who have been educated for a cataloger, is the person in charge of the munitions and rations made for most journeys, with a reduced payment for the amount of items used during the trip upon return. Although at first this seems a simple job, given that the companies they work for seek a profit, and most airships that fly out ports never come back after a run in with pirates or a opposing faction fleet, this forces a cataglottist to think carefully and distribute supplies with a reasoning and cold head; if the heavily armed trading fleet leaves today, hand out to them a hefty amount of ammo and food, and when they return get a large paycheck, but should an adventurer fly out boldly into the sunset, be wary of how long he would last, and give him minimum requirements for a return trip in one day to help downgrade losses should he fall prey to pirates. Cataglottists are quite hated in the country as well, because although they give low prices for food, they can also limit the amount of supplies you have, forcing you to come back within a limited amount of time, effectively setting how long you can travel and forking up huge bills for small unsuccessful expeditions that ran short due to a lack of food.
Anglean Scavenger (from Yesha's view)

From The Desk of Colonel [REDACTED]
General [REDACTED] I am here to inform you of the increasing raids from these Anglean Scavengers. These are not your normal Republican dogs that usually harass the trading ships that enter through the canyons up in the northern part of our borders. No Sir don't let the name scavengers fool you, these men are different, they have some more intelligance to actually plan their ambushes on the passing merchant ships then to simply rush out like lunaics and madmen. During the past few months, recent reports filied through that ships were being entangled into large nets or that certain paths through the area that highly dense smoke engulfs ships disorienting crews. Each attack so far has been conducted with only two Squid-class ships and some ground assistance. These ships are not the standard Anglean, they are far more silent and deadly, with the men on the ground just as the same. With their name being scavengers, after they trap or fully disable the ship, any working componets and cargo of value is stripped and taken leaving the crews stranded on land befroe any of our partols find them. I respecfully ask Sir that if you can allocate more resources to help deter this threat from our borders and to provide a more safe passage for travelers. Also to blast those Anglean scum out of the sky.
