About

For the navies of the Kingdoms of Men and the merchant fleets that constantly ply the Infant Sea, a life at sea is precisely that – some seamen live and work aboard their vessels for most of their lives, stopping only for small spells of shore-leave and ship refits, before setting sail again.

On the Seas

The life of a common sailor is a hard one: conditions aboard a wooden ship are cramped and squalid, and the work back-breaking and often dangerous – from swabbing the decks and rowing the ship’s boats, to ‘going atop’ to lower the sails and operate the rigging.

In such a closed environment, discipline aboard ship is imperative, and the punishments for even minor infractions of the seaman’s code are severe – anything from cleaning out the latrines to being confined to quarters; from clapping a sailor in irons to administering a flogging. Despite this, a good ship’s captain must understand that there’s more to running a successful ship – especially a warship – than strict order and discipline.

The key to exceptional performance has ever been morale – the sailors aboard ship understand that there will be repercussions for transgressions and slovenliness, but also that exceptional performance and good behaviour will be recognised and rewarded. Unhappy sailors perform poorly, and this reflects badly on the commanders.

All sailors are therefore afforded leisure hours to distract them from their arduous duties, where they sing forbitters and dance jigs to the sounds of pipes, carve scrimshaw, and drink copious amounts of rum (a practical as well as recreational activity, for when flavoured with lemon and sugar, rum was a sure way to ward off the dreaded scurvy). By maintaining a careful balance aboard ship, a captain would turn their sailors into a close-knit and well-organised fighting unit, to which morale and teamwork were key to victory
