Very cool :)
Shifu wants to stand on the beak of the prow and do the "I'm the King of the World!" thing from Titanic. While Tenuk hums Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song": ...The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands To fight the horde and sing and cry, Valhalla, I am coming....
From the ancient codex deciphered by Chiang Tzu.  Iona came from a land now fallen to Uncreated Night. Most stories state she was a brave knight who volunteered to give herself up to become a Made God. She became a totem of war, a being that could augment armies and destroy the champions of other cultures. She was said to command the seas, skies, and the Sun itself in battle. Before the Shattering took place, her lands had allied with the Patrian Empire and she had been chosen to lead an expedition to destroy the Dulimbai invasion force. She was provided a craft by the Patrian Empire, a righteous vessel, that when fueled by her power, could conquer anything that the Dulimbai had. It could carry and care for an entire army and could place this army anywhere in the world in a single day it was said. Some sources say it could fly, others swim beneath the waves, some even said that it could burrow beneath the ground. Most accounts state that it was made of diamonds and others that it was metal polished to such a degree it could blind her foes. Stories say that once the invasion force made land that she turned to face the Bright Republic's navy and yet others state that she made harbor in the Patrian Empire. All agree though that the Bright Republic severely wounded her and damaged the ship.
