River Sparrow

The River Sparrow (cross-section)

The River Sparrow is fairly typical for a Riverlin vessel - several decks, with a relatively flat bottom. Though it is built on inspiration from larger sea-going vessels, the River Sparrow is somewhat cramped on its interior: the ceilings tend to be just about six feet in height or so, lending a vaguely claustrophobic feeling to its interiors.

The River Sparrow

Top Decks

• Foredeck: Piled here and there with crates likely to be of immediate use, the foredeck is mostly empty. The sail boom usually extends out over it, forming something of a small hazard while actually sailing (as compared to simply steering with the current), and there are various bits of rigging tied to spots around the foredeck here and there. River Sword, Sapphire Veil and Aapo have all used this area for training, and Crimson Slate generally does her elemental summoning from here.
• Asterndeck: The asterndeck is less cluttered with rigging and crates than the foredeck. It is slightly higher than the foredeck as well, granting a fair view to the pilot while standing at the pilot's wheel located here. This is generally the muster deck for ship defense and general gatherings of the crew.

Main Deck

• Main Deck: The deck situated slightly lower between the foredeck and asterndeck, the main deck can easily seem crowded - it is a busy place with scurrying sailors, lots of rigging and various crates and barrels lashed to the side. It also features the massive main mast, as well as the small roofed structure (the top of which actually can be folded aside, as it is on hinges) that protects the ramp down into the aft hold. Additionally, there are two staircases up to the foredeck, another two up to the asterndeck and a staircase down to the Guest Quarters. Finally, two doors between the foredeck staircases open onto the staterooms on this level, and a set of doubledoors between the asterndeck staircases open onto the Galley.
