Âni-Matîrûn

Category Submersibles
Class Âni exploration pod
Builder Lith-Crillion
Commissioned unknown
Owner unknown

These ancient submersibles were constructed by the Lith-Crillion. They resemble a gargantuan nautilus. Some speculate that these vessels served as unique traveling platforms for the scientists and explorers of this lost race, while others suggest they were more widespread, functioning as the primary means of traversing the vast oceans and seas that separated the numerous Lith-Crillion settlements, now scattered ruins across Bal-Kriav. Regardless of the truth, the owner of such a vessel possesses a powerful device for both transportation and military objectives. A single one of these vessels in the hands of an empire could swiftly alter the balance of sea power in a given region.

Âni-Matîrûn are living creatures with mechanical accoutrements and compartments meticulously fashioned within them. When not piloted, they wander freely about the ocean depths, frequently returning to the location of their construction.
