One-star iron battleship blueprints unlocked!
To get the iron fleet project underway as soon as possible, Rowan stayed up through the night drawing up the blueprints for later use.
Early the next morning, Rowan entered the workshop with the two Archmages.
On the fleet's return voyage, Rhonin had become deeply curious about the Norwington Family's new warships.
Dalaran had numerous research projects on wind-powered magic, which had spawned a wide variety of magical products. Unfortunately, the magical kingdom could not solve its wind runes' endurance problems, and their insufficient thrust left them unable to rival the House Stormsong's wind runes.
