Lymphad

A lymphad is a type of small galley that possesses a single mast and a series of oars. Lymphads have been a traditional Chrichheimer boat for thousands of years, it's name deriving from the old Chrich words for "long ship." Historically these boats were used in all kinds of roles, including military transport, but in the modern day Lymphads are instead often used as fishing or transport vessels by local citizens. As well as this, it has also become a symbol for many titles and noble families native to Chrichheim specifically. Lymphads are well-known locally for their hydrodynamic design which allows the boat to sail surprisingly fast, even in comparison to many contemporary designs.
Although the design of the lymphad has naturally become standardised, there are still minor differences. These usually involve the position of the sails and oars. Some lymphads also have decorative features like flags, baskets, and figureheads - though not all of them.
