Airship

Most airships take the form of those first developed in the Island Ring: a wooden hull, with masts rising from the deck. Beams attached to the mast drape large sections of webbing above the deck, which capture sunlight and transform its momentum into power that keeps the ship afloat. Whereas older airships had to be carefully navigated to ensure constant exposure to sunlight, more recent designs also hold batteries which are capable of storing a limited amount of power, for passage over or to the interior of islands' dark sides.

New methods of transportation and power are being researched, however, and may even be already in operation.
