Josiah’s ship is a sleek 3-masted sloop of war, the Stygian Spear. This swift vessel is sheathed in deep black metal. He adopted a spidered sigil on his pirate flag and mounted a piercing bowsprit and a ram of adamantine. He had once thought to make the whole ship from adamantine, but his shipwrights reassured him that it would be slow and unwieldy and prone to foundering. Instead, they strategically replaced metal fittings and joints with adamantine alloys for strength and installed cladding along the prow, the keel, the hull, and the rudder to help the ship deflect hostile fire and survive collisions. In fact, its strength proved so formidable that Josiah now bears down on his foes to ram with abandon, letting loose broadsides from his 20 guns aboard as his ship passes by or even through any vessel in its path. He wields a rapier and carries a buckler made of the same material.
