The Tempest is a unique ship that appears in the expansion, "Rise of Stormheart" in the game, School of Dragons.
Description[]
| “ | 'The Tempest is the ship of the feared pirate captain, Nikora Stormheart. Like its captain, it is as powerful as it is beautiful. Skull-shaped decorations adorn the ship, allowing those nearby to know that it belongs to Stormheart. In addition to its impressive appearance, The Tempest also possesses the ability to inflict a severe amount of damage on its opponents. The ship itself has two claws with sharp spikes covering the entirety of the vessel. The Tempest is steam powered, using the might of Moldruffles and a Titan Gronckle to propel itself through the waters. Stormheart's ship also contains a mechanism that allows the spiked fore sections to roll open and allow smaller seafaring vessels to exit The Tempest. The helm of The Tempest is situated at the rear of the vessel. Here, you can find Captain Nikora Stormheart steering her dreaded ship across the seas. |

The Tempest is an enormous bifurcated ship laced with huge metal spikes on the two fore sections. There are at least three levels, possibly more. The visible habitable area is covered with a teal colored tent-like material. The captain, Nikora Stormheart, monitors ship activity from the rear of the ship. By some unknown mechanism, the spiked fore sections are able to roll open and closed, allowing smaller craft to sail into an open area of water surrounded by the ship.
The ship itself appears to be steam-powered, with two smoke stacks and two large paddled wheels. The source of the steam and energy may be the Moldruffle dragons and a Titan Gronckle that appear on a sub-level. There are also dragon-proof cages in the presumed engine area as well as on deck. Many areas of the ship are decorated with skulls and the triskele designs associated with Stormheart.
