Blutrabe is a first rate heavy warship last spotted sailing in the far north reaches of Loch Blutrabe near its homeport of Rabenstein. It is said that every lantern hanging from Blutrabe's sails marks a ship it has sunk.

Blutrabe
Owner Altikto
Construction started 2 September 2024
Location -3509 -4680


Many of the lanterns hanging from Blutrabe’s sails hold the souls of people Altikto has banned, serving as a warning to any wrongdoers that find themselves aboard.

Armourer - Armando the Armadillo

Ship’s dog - Bergbändiger

Armament

Blutrabe's main armament consists of forty 42-pounders on the lower gun deck (4 of which serve as bow and stern chasers), thirty-two 36-pounders on the middle gun deck, thirty-two 24-pounders on the upper gun-deck, together with sixteen 12-pounders on its quarterdeck and forecastle (4 of which serve as bow chasers), making it capable of delivering a 1,788 pound broadside, a death sentence for any ship unlucky enough to find itself in range.

Design

Blutrabe's design inspiration was taken from several real and fictional ships, notable entries include Vasa, HMS Victory, The Flying Dutchman and The Silent Mary.

During construction, the stern was known as the "wizards hat stern" by Altikto due to the similar shape when looked at directly behind the stern.

The ship's flag consists of a raven on a red background.
