Avalanche is a Hunter-class vessel which is captained by Warsmith Barrihon Ironmantle
About
After aking to the Infant Sea upon its maiden voyage from Dolgarth, the Dwarf Hunter-class Avalanche encountered a privateer frigate, the Earnest Fate, east of the Forsaken Isles.
A prize ship, laden with gold and crewed by mercenaries, it was later claimed that the Earnest Fate, had departed the Ophidian port of Hokh-oul with a bounty legally purchased, and was bound for the free city of Rimenese (though the men of Rimenese, denied all knowledge, lest they incur the wrath of Golloch).
Upon being sighted by the Avalanche, the Earnest Fate, lowered its colours and heaved to, then pitched full sail on a course towards the Drowned Republic. Seeing this as highly suspicious, and eager to test their new steamship, the dwarfs gave chase, pushing their engines to the limit, and eventually catching their quarry near the Ruins of Vantoria.
After a brief exchange of fire, in which the Hunter easily outclassed the larger frigate, the Earnest Fate struck her colours and was boarded by the dwarfs. In the hold, within a thrice-warded chest thrumming with power, the dwarfs found an artefact of great import – one of the Boons of the Gods, thought lost more than 500 years before.
When news of this discovery reached King Golloch, secret orders were immediately given to the Warsmiths in charge of his finest ships – if the Boons were still out there, then Golloch would be the one to recover them.
