The Absolutist

== Overview ==
The Absolutist was the luxury vessel belonging to House Braitbirn of Llanoreid. It was constructed in 172 AG upon the request of Duke Cyril Braitbirn. The Duke's eldest son, Wilddar, had a keen fascination with ships and compelled his father to construct a more luxurious vessel for the family, to which he agreed. It was named to come across as imposing yet also convey a sense of apt judgement expected from a ruler. During Wilddar's time as Duke, he spent much of his private time aboard the Absolutist. It later went on to play a role in the Uprootings, where it was destroyed.
== Design ==
The vessel, large and imposing, proved a strong addition to Llanoreid's fleet. With its large array of cannons and tough hull, it was a formidable force on the sea. However, despite its militaristic exterior, it featured an elaborate stylish interior that housed many cabins and function rooms. The interior being the passion of Wilddar, developed over the course of his time as Duke.
== History ==
As Llanoreid entered the Uprootings, the Absolutist led the Llanoreidic fleets in battle, most notably in the New Frontier Stratagem. Preparing for the Invasion of the Chaestlands, Wilddar left his flagship in the care of Alfret Codding, his head advisor and admiral, as he commanded his forces on land. Unfortunately for Wilddar, this would be the last he saw of his beloved ship as it was destroyed during the battle, taking Codding with it.
Wilddar would commission a new ship, The Absolutist's Legacy, soon after. Though, this time, with Wilddar spearheading the design, he constructed a much smaller ship with a notable lack of firepower and more appealing exterior. It remained in House Braitbirn's possession into the 300s.
