Grace of the Cedars

Grace of the Cedars was a three-enveloped freighter that operated out of Terra Alta.

Service History
Grace of the Cedars was built in Terra Alta by Windworks Shipwrights in 801. Originally dubbed Eliza Green, she was bought by the Abernathy Trade Union and ran a Misericordiae-Terra Alta circuit for several years. When Abernathy Trade Union was absorbed by the Big Windy Trading Company in 817, the owner of that company renamed the ship in honor of his twin sister. The two had grew up in the cedar forests of Old Meronymy and had moved to Terra Alta in their early teens. The sister never forgot the land of their childhood and often longed to return there. She wrote a poem, one section of which is reprinted here:

Cyprian Fields
In the 839, Cyprian Fields signed on as a deckhand on Grace of the Cedars, the last tour he was to undertake before becoming involved in the flight of Philomena and the Philomena Uprising. During a trip to Terra Alta, Grace of the Cedars encountered a group of trained mordonocs. In the ensuing battle, Cyprian mounted an offensive that killed two of the creatures, which belonged to bandit lord Bartimaeus Cain. In the ensuing battle, Grace of the Cedars was severely damaged and several of her crew injured or killed. Cain's minions captured Cyprian, leaving Grace of the Cedars and what remained of her crew behind.
