Daren Riverboat

These small, flat-bottomed boats ply the waters of the River Daren. This design has been used for generations to move goods and people from Lake Abernath and the Middle Kingdoms all the way to the Soral Sea. They are propelled by small square sails, or poled or rowed along. They can navigate calm sea waters, but in stormy weather are easily overwhelmed, and so tend to sail close to shore when leaving the rivers.
