			''So besides rowing boats and barges, there’s three other types of ships. Oh, and don’t make the mistake of confusing ships and boats. You can put a boat in a ship, but you can’t put a ship in a boat! Anyway, let me explain it to you in terms of horses, cos you look like the type who knows your way around a horse but think an oar is found down a mine.

			''So take your fancy race horse. It’s real fast and gorgeous. All the celebrities have one. Just don’t try to carry your monthly shopping with you – this model doesn’t do saddle bags! Then there’s a good sturdy riding horse. It has a decent speed, you can load it with saddlebags and lots of extra stuff, and you can go off-road pretty much anywhere.

			''And then there’s your war horse, you know, those massive beasts the Paladins of D’Aad go charging around on. It can carry the paladin, his armour, and half the town, and just keep on going forever – while wearing its own armour!

			''And don’t forget the donkey! It goes anywhere, and you can load it with a dozen war horses, their paladins, and all the cargo. It’s UAF but if you’re serious about taking lots of things a long way up a mountain, and back again, you want a donkey.

			''A barge is like a donkey, a sloop’s like a race horse, a brigantine’s like a riding horse, and a galleon is the war horse.

			''A sloop has one mast, it’s fast and can slip into tight spaces. It’s great for moving small groups of people around. As long as you stay within sight of the coast, you’ll be hundreds. And there are some really pretty ones that the nobles use for sunset cruises and such. The brigantine has two masts, it’s a solid and fast ship, ideal for crossing the ocean and even going up-river. It’s the kind of vessel that traders in a hurry use – and also pirates!

			''Finally there’s the galleon. This is the big boy of the deep sea. With four masts, you can shift 500 tons of stuff anywhere across the world. Bon voyage!

			— ''Old Franky, Harbour Master, Barforos''

'''Magical travel''' by fly, polymorph, teleport and ethereal plane is rare, and is usually facilitated by Mage Guilds or undertaken by powerful individuals.

	'''Ocean and river travel''' is common in Kalderesh, not surprising given the nation’s naval heritage. Barges are often used to traverse navigable rivers with goods, while rowing boats and longships are used for transporting people. All harbours in Kalderesh can accommodate barges, longships and coasters. All but the smallest can also provide anchorage for cogs. Galleons can only be properly serviced in the largest harbours.
