The Nascent Dawn

The Nascent Dawn is a massive seaborne city that travels around the globe picking up and selling supplies at ports. It currently houses some 10,000 people. The ship has a council but is politically uninvolved and only focuses on keeping itself afloat and safe, very occasionally hiring harpoonists but largely relying on harpoonists willing to extend goodwill and protect them.
=== Defences ===
There are eight total megaballistas on The Nascent Dawn that can fire massive harpoons at sea monsters. These are excellent at killing small and medium sized monsters, but ineffective against large groups or leviathans. While there are some hundred trained combatants on the ship who can fight sea monsters in a difficult situation, they are not as strong as harpoonists and ill-equipped for serious threats.
==== Leviathan Encounters ====
The Nascent Dawn has been attacked by two of the seven leviathans of the sea before. Some years ago, they were briefly attacked by The Hydra of The Deep, though it was fast driven off by both megaballista fire and a platoon of elite harpoonists who were in the right place at the right time. More recently, they were attacked by The Kraken of Genod. At the time, the legendary harpoonist Robin was present on the ship, defeating the creature and dying in the process.
