'''The Ships at the Beginning of Time''' is a moniker given to a fleet of wooden boats that materialized in [[The Quelmar Realm]] shortly before the start of the [[BR]] era. The size of the original fleet is a point of dispute amongst scholars, but [[Elf|Elven]] oral tradition confirms at least three ships to have originated from this fleet: the '''Meridian''', the '''Welkin''', and the '''Horizon'''. These three are linked due to sharing several peculiarities, such as having no documented port of origin and carrying entirely [[Human]] passengers. These commonalities often result in them being called sister ships, but physical evidence of their hulls is limited; the '''Meridian''' was scrapped and used for lumber during the construction of its namesake colony in [[Isonhound]], the '''Welkin''' crashed into a sandbar and was sunk off the coast of [[Pteris]], and the '''Horizon''' is bizarrely difficult to survey despite being abandoned and floating adrift around the [[Kiston Isles]]. By charting reported sightings of the '''Horizon''' along with water currents, scholars discerned that the three ships sailed west off the coast of [[Kiston (Island)|Kiston]] before drifting off-course in different directions and meeting varied fates. | '''The Ships at the Beginning of Time''' is a moniker given to a fleet of wooden boats that materialized in [[The Quelmar Realm]] shortly before the start of the [[BR]] era.
