sounds good, I'll work on offense and defense from the water.
Flying navy that looks like normal navy might be nice so we can keep it secret that it's flying... like the only people who see it fly are in naval combat and don't live to tell the tale - or maybe one random sailor noone will believe. Since the flying part is magical anyway, starting with a sea-worthy ship doesn't really impede the flying but helps with the hiding. Also, we can sell sea-based ships for income without having to have two separate shipyards.
Marcella's focus includes violence and war. Just in case you want a device that shoots fire bolts.
Can’t recall what the plan for companions was, but putting it out there that I’d like to play a pious and irreverent holy man. Not a priest per se, but a monk or some such that could be in and around the covenant.
That sounds super fun!
