The Ginger Lady was a Shou trade caravel that sailed across the waters of the Eastern Heartlands during the mid–14th century DR.[3]
Description[]
The Ginger Lady was about 200 ft (61 m) long,[1][2] and its figurehead was carved into the shape of a dragon's head.[4]
Uses[]
The ship was used by Prince Kao Chou Tang and the Shou Ministry of Spices to transport gold, jewels,[5] silk goods, spices, and ylang blossoms to the Ginger Palace for trade to locates across the rest of the Dragon Coast.[3][6] Unbeknownst to Minister Hsieh Han Liu, Prince Tang also used the vessel to smuggle illicit plants and flowers that could be used to formulate poisons, for use by the Cult of the Dragon.[7]
History[]
In the Year of the Wave, 1364 DR, the Ginger Lady was en route to Ilipur when it was attacked by the dracolich Hethcypressarvil.[1] The undead black dragon wanted to kill Minister Hsieh aboard the vessel, so that he would not replace Prince Tang as the head of the Ginger Palace,[8] and interfere with the Dragon Cult's poison trade in the region.[6] Fortunately the ship was saved by the efforts of the Harpers agent Ruha, and the crew of the Storm Sprite.[9]
