Silver Sun

The Silver Sun is a skyship owned by Lord Ariks Eshteross of Jrusar.

Appearance
The Silver Sun is made of light-colored wood, and has a pair of sails mounted on its hull on the port and starboard. It is trimmed and detailed with polished brass. The ship has two large pieces of brumestone embedded on the main and quarterdeck. Two ballistae are mounted on the port and starboard sides of the main deck, and a third is mounted on the back of the poop deck.

Underneath the wheel, there's a set of controls that regulate the intensity of the brumestone engines. When one of the levers that handles the central gem in the middle of the ship is pulled, it locks into place, anchoring against gravity or other forces pulling it in any direction.

Crew

 * Xandis: Captain
 * Khalil Benes: First mate

When Cyrus Wyvernwind nearly got caught by the Green Seekers and was brought back to Eshteross' manor by Bells Hells, Eshteross arranged for Cyrus and his brother Dorian Storm to be smuggled aboard his skyship, bound for Emon in Tal'Dorei, in order to lie low.

Nearly two weeks later, the Silver Sun had returned to Jrusar. When Bells Hells visited Eshteross after their trip to Heartmoor Hamlet, Eshteross asked them to travel on the Silver Sun to Bassuras in order to find and capture Armand Treshi.

Bells Hells departed the Aerie Skyport at Jrusar and began the voyage to the Hellcatch Valley. On the second day of the trip, they fought off an attack by a pair of skirath hunters.

The crew of the Silver Sun, along with Bells Hells, used the ship's chained harpoons shot from the ship's ballistae to prevent a dusttra from attacking a caravan traveling through the Hellcatch Valley. The crew then dropped off Bells Hells on the outskirts of Bassuras before leaving.

Behind the scenes
The model for the Silver Sun was built by Howard Andrews (@minileed). It was commissioned by Matthew Mercer in anticipation of skyship travel at some point in Campaign 3, especially should Bells Hells maintain a relationship with Eshteross. It was "casually" built over a period of three months.

In, Eshteross said that his skyship had returned from Whitestone after delivering Bertrand Bell's body to the city. However, it was not the Silver Sun that had gone to Whitestone, as Eshteross had chartered another skyship to do this instead because the Silver Sun was away from Jrusar at that time.
