Magic, Science, and all-the-ways-they-mix Research Team!

There are a lot of forgotten relics, forsaken lands, and forbidden arts lost to the waves and time. The Raiders of the Lost Arts are dedicated to finding, researching, and potentially utilizing whatever they can find. Legal methods of acquiring information and research materials may or may not be followed.
The crew is also incredibly inclined towards Moon-themes and most of them are bibliophiles.

type

bugsnax

parasitic bugs that start taking over your body if you eat them. the captain does not understand the appeal of having them around. neither before he came across turo's notes on them, but especially after. do you know how many times he's going to have to tell certain cats not to even lick them? and they better stay out of his cabin - he has a fire sprite in there and six golden chickens who won't think twice about eating them! They are NOT allowed anywhere near the Dawn Surprise

elementals

fire sprite
dongfang qingcang

Currently only one known elemental creature is aboard the Phantom Moon. It is not really a pet, so much as a stowaway that managed to convince the captain to let it stick around. The fire sprite in Dongfang Qingcang's cabin keeps the room warm for the chickens, acts as guardian for the room, and enjoys crawling around on Daqiang in a cute manner on the offchance it'll convince him to share some hellfire - which is like candy to the creatures.

Golden Chickens
dongfang qingcang

There are currently only 6 birds on the ship that qualify as pets: the half dozen golden chickens Dongfang Qingcang hatched from golden eggs he recieved as his 'payment' for aiding a farmer in determining if they were magical or not. These chickens are a bright golden color with normal looking feathers and lay perfectly normal looking eggs that can be used for cooking, but when the birds molt, their molted feathers harden into gold. Plucking the feathers only produces a golden-colored feather. The feathers must be allowed to molt naturally if they are to turn to gold. Daqiang has not yet attempted to breed them, but suspects that eggs which have the potential of hatching will be as golden as thier eggs were orignally.

ships

Phantom Moon | 月幻影

The Phantom Moon is a modified/fantasy Chinese Junk. This means it has a flat bottom and a many-chambered lower hull that allows it to sit high in the water and protects against the danger of taking on water, since each chamber within the hull is completely separate from the others and air-tight when the access hatches are sealed shut. It also has a movable rudder and sails in the style of the traditional Chinese Junk boat.

upgrades

Workshop Upgrade + Space Upgrade + Specialized Equpiment (Magical Research) Upgrade

Expansion Upgrade: Cabin Space

Dawn Surprise

Behind the Phantom Moon, trailing along on a tow cable, a medium-sized personal boat, the Dawn Surprise can be found serving as a floating garden. This garden barge is technically owned by Dongfang Qingcang, but was purchased for Orchid.
