The Relic Hunter

An ancient ship of unknown origin that has been at the center of many controversies over the ages. The crews of this infamous vessel tend to be a part of many events that go down in history as world changing, both good and evil. There have also been credible reports of the vessel being destroyed during several of these historic events, but a short time later the vessel reappears in history with a new crew engaging in another large-scale event.

The vessel itself is a 150-foot-long three-mast schooner with three sub-levels; a crew level, a storage level, and a vault level at the bottom of the ship. There are several mystical enhancements made to the vessel that makes it far easier to man than other ships of the same size and complexity. One of the most interesting enhancements on the ship is a compass that seems to point in a random direction, but in reality, it points to a lost Relic that belongs on one of the pedestals in the ship's vault. Another intriguing feature is a wooden box with runes carved all around it in the storage area that, when glass is placed inside, then opened again at a later time, fresh cooked and prepared food will be found of equal value to the amount of glass left in, and the glass will be gone. The sails are also enchanted to create their own wind in order to propel the vessel when there is no wind at all and speeds travel a little in other conditions.

The crew level has room to house 10 people comfortably. The storage level has room for equipment for ten people plus extra room for storing food and other supplies. The most interesting room in the vessel is the large storage space in the bottom level of the ship's hull. There are a large number of pedestals, each with a plaque and a unique place to put a specific object. The plaques are written in is a language that seems to precede the Human language, but the few translations that exist imply that these are placeholders for various powerful relics that exist in Foundation. This would imply that the Relic Hunter is indeed aptly named, and its purpose is to collect these relics; however the reason behind this purpose is not known
