Jouvelle

Jouvelle is an Falholtian sailing ship that transported a group of Xekan exiles, who eventually became the founders of Falholt, to Ostartia in 82. After 8 weeks at sea, Jouvelle reached what is today Falholt, dropping anchor on the northwest coast of Ostartia in Summer of 82.
== Construction ==
Jouvelle was built in 79, originally under the name Iskar, originally as a cargo ship for trade routes between Xeka and the USSE. She participated in growing whale oil trade in Serrona. She was then purchased by the Vitgrin Trading Company, and renamed Jouvelle, after the Vorkatian word for "New Day" but also a play on words for its renovation.
== Voyage ==
Sorli Aestram, a member of the Vitgrin Trading Company bought Jouvelle in Spring 81. They then sailed north to Vitgrin, to work as a trade ship for the following year. Upon repeated petition and denials for more autonomy, the ship was then planned to be used for a voyage to new lands to settle. 
The ship set sail for Ostartia in mid-spring of 82 TE, when winds were most favorable in the Kaladinian Sea. The ship then proceeded up the Kaladinia up to modern day Oceanum before docking in Prosperita to gather supplies before continuing upstream to the Diana Sea. Initially the trip went smoothly, but under way they were met with strong winds and Tortugan pirates, forcing the ship to dock at the recently established Kingdom of Smith. The Jouvelle sighted the Velstmorad after enduring several storms and pirate attacks for about 57 days. 
== Arrival in Ostartia ==
After stopping at the White Raven Kingdom for supplies, the ship sailed further south to look for the islands said to be unclaimed, anchoring in Volcan Harbour in the Summer of 82, leading to the establishment of the city of Volcan, named so after the Ostartian word for the island, Vúilkn roughly meaning "the island from fire", possibly from the island's volcanic origins.
The first structure was a simple timber framed house. In the following weeks, the rest of the settlement slowly took shape. A month into the settlement of the island, a meeting was held in Aestram's residence. A group of settlers drafted and signed the first governing document of the nation, the Ostartian Contract, which later grew to become Constitution of the Kingdom of Ostartia, marking the founding of the monarchy. After a vote, Ulfrick was elected to be the new monarch and head of state, alongside Aestram who was elected to be the chancellor and head of government.
== Jouvelle design and layout ==
Jouvelle is a three-masted ship, with the length of 160 feet (48.77 m) and width ("beam") of 33 feet (10.06 m).
The ship was divided by 12 bulkheads into 13 compartments.
