Shipyards of Jadʋcicho and the ships of the Dofvai

The Dsuðedzatu Chefuchu has for a long time had a very adept and able ship building industry, constructing small but ornate ships for use by the I.ð.U. The largest ship yards are located in the republics capital of Jadʋcicho and is one of the largest employers in the city. Only 3 different ships are built in these yards however, the largest being the Itdsouðe. These ships are about 100 feet long, armed with 10 guns and has a crew of around 50 men, the 3 masts of the ship propel them up to around 25 knots and with their 300 tons of cargo space they can move a large amount of goods around the warm sea faster than any other competitors could do. Each one of these ships is a true work of art, with fine woodwork and embroidered sails setting them apart from the many other ships that traverse the waters of the south. The wood and needle work is done across the island, with the finished pieces being moved to the central shipyard in the capital for final assembly.
The smallest ship built by the Dofvai is the Poniðe, with 2 masters over 1 deck and a crew of about 15 men. The small ships carry only a small number guns as there isn’t much space across the smaller hull to store them. These smaller vessels can easily keep up with the larger Itdsouðe and are often seen escorting them to keep pirates and unwanted competition from straying too close. They can also carry a small amount of cargo and have sometimes been used to quickly move mail and more clandestine missions from time to time. 
The 3rd ship built is a design made in collaboration with the Lirei Empire, the Noðumaokubi (Gvarlon in Lirei), combining several elements of Dofvai, Lirei and Falkeni building techniques to create a vessel that can be produced in large numbers for the empire and bolster its aging navies size. The much simpler design of these vessels will means the Dofvai can churn out huge numbers of them in exchange for lower trade tariffs with the Lirei. Many trade deals have been signed to make this new plan possible, with imports of wood and iron being increased to keep up with projected demand.
