 SHIP MECHANICS
Ship stats:
Warband-scale
STR: Hull strength
DEX: Speed
WIL: Crew (use Crew's WIL)
• Ships require a crew of beasts to use it. Crew share the same rules as a warband and are armed (and
paid) accordingly.
• Undead crew automatically succeed on WIL saves for morale while a necromancer is present. If the
necromancer who controls them is unconscious or dead, the undead crew loses d6 STR per round as
their magic saps away.
• Cannons use gunpowder, which can be found inside scavenged bullets. A box of bullets is enough
gunpowder for a bundle. After ship combat, roll a d6. On a 4,5, or 6, mark usage on a bundle of
gunpowder. Great Cannons (d10) are fort-level weapons and use live shotgun shells for ammo.

AMMO TYPES
d6 Ammo Effect
1 Chain Shot deals DEX damage instead of STR
2 Screaming Skulls damages crew WIL instead of ship STR
3 Incendiary places a Fire tile on a random deck section.
4 Bilge Shot places a Water tile on a random hold section.
5 Smoke Shot No damage, but covers the ship in mist.
6 Blessed Shot Adv. on damage if used against undead.

Shell armor
Made from shells and other detritus found on
the shoreline, it is cheaper to make, and
provides similar protection to standard mouse
armor, but is inferior in durability. After a
fight, usage is automatically marked with shell
armor.

Diving Suit (Armored)

Sized for a mouse or Rat sized creature, this
weighted suit allows for one to explore the
ocean depths. The suit has enough air inside of
it to last its user 1 turn without external
tanks/bladders to house air. Such air tanks/

be used. The armored version provides 1 base
armor to its wielder, it is rumored there are
more efficient and more advanced diving suits
used by a lost colony of mice under the
waves.

Fishbone Spear
While cheaper to produce, Fishbone spears
automatically have their usage marked after a
fight.
The Dawn war, As told by the Xiphosura sages
Eons ago, when the world was young and life had yet to crawl upon the land, the first
civilization emerged, in the form of the Trilobita. They were the first to attain sapience, and it was
their loneliness that saw them to seek out and uplift other species from the clay of the Cambrian.
They are the reason for the ‘Cambrian explosion’ as the humans call it, our progenitors, and seeders
of life. Even that which would eventually become mouse-kind had its roots in this time of discovery
and world shifting artifice.
Yet such times of wonder and peace would not last, and as millennia passed, for the
Trilobita made their first, and fatal mistake in uplifting the beings known as Cephalopods… Despite
what gifts the forebearers gave to their newest disciples; self-awareness, knowledge, and appendages to
change the world around them, their new students simply wanted more, and grew jealous of the
achievements of their mentors. As relations deteriorated over many centuries, the Cephalopods
eventually struck their erstwhile guides with brutal efficiency, the seas became blue with blood, and
remain so stained even to this day as memento of such treachery.
Yet the trilobites did not capitulate so easily, such was their advancements in knowledge and
breadth of the oceans they had colonized. The Trilobita had learned how they could bend the very
laws of reality to their whim. It was during the opening of this first bloody war that Spells were
created en mass, and it is the same spells we carry that were first forged so many trillions of nights
ago.
The spells we have now that have survived are best thought of as punctuation marks,
asterisks, and periods. The spells the Trilobita knew were akin to words that spelt commands to the
universe. It was unfortunate that the Cephalopods were quick learners with their own stolen spell
forges.
This was the crux of the dawn war, THE first war, that which lasted many epochs and all
other conflicts are merely Lampoons of. Where both Cephalopod and Trilobita used grand spells,
living horrors, and uplifted allies to turn the tide again and again against one another over millions
upon millions of years. New spells were created, tested, waged war and were lost by the decade than
any can hope to remember. Eventually, as the war dragged on and resources became scarcer; the spells
waned in power, and weapons to combat one another became a race for the land by proxy instead of
merely by achievement for its magic reserves.
The trilobites won the first leg of the race with arthropods teeming across the surface,
establishing, and terraforming the land for their purposes, enriching the sky with the breath of life. Yet
the Cephalopods countered by investing in the once overlooked fish and vertebrates as their minions,
which outcompeted the largest invertebrates, and sent the Trilobites back to the evolutionary drawing
board.
The proxy war on the land was important, but it was simply a means to fuel the battles that
went on in the waves. To speak on their vagaries, the switching of sides, of the triumphs and failures
of both axes of the conflict would take another eon to tell, so we shall instead focus upon its climax…
It was the great dying which saw to the end of this monolithic struggle when the world had
had enough of the constant bloodshed and sought to vent its frustrations at being abused for so long.
A time when the seas boiled with unchained magic, rents opened in the earth beneath cities of
Trilobita and Cephalopod, and the skies burned with arcane technologies long lost to the passage of
time. Untold billions of lives were lost; so much knowledge burned in thaumaturgical or physical
energies never to be re-learned. Superweapons that you could only dream of, that humans have barely
learned the inkling of swept clean entire hemispheres of all life or choked the very life-force with spells
that targeted an individual species’ thaumaturgical imprint.
In the end, neither side truly won, for while the Cephalopods had slain their ancient uplifters
in a final push that saw a continent leveled, they could not control the seismic forces which heaved
and broke apart the world, and the creations of the Trilobita evolved and adapted even as the world
changed.
Thaumaturgical and biological elements arose which eventually forced the Cephalopods into
an ultimatum, die like their erstwhile progenitors, or pass on their knowledge to a protegee while they
regressed to a more adaptable form. You can guess they chose the latter, and that their chosen disciple
is now humanity. Even now the humans terraform and pollute this globe into a hotter, warmer world,
emptying the seas of competition so that the Cephalopod might rise once more with just the right
spark to ignite it.
Yet, the Trilobita had foreseen this, and planned accordingly for this eventuality. Suppressed
in our ancestors, instinctual knowledge of technologies locked in the foundation of our very being that
you would hardly understand, changed us, or at least, some of us on a fundamental level. You see
before you a primitive creature that looks out of place, a hard shell and biology meant for surviving in
a harsh environment….
But We… are the Xiphosura. The Trilobita made us their successors and tasked us with
continuing a now cold war against the Cephalopods. It is we who have written on the spells you seek
over countless centuries. It is we who have delved into their mysteries and sing songs older than your
civilization. It is we who were here before you, and if your species is not careful, we will be here long
after you.
