The Gnomish Airsailship Trade: Chapter 6 "The Myrtica" by Mester Dominae Lurius I

"The Myrtica" Gnomish Airsailship

In Chapter 6 "The Myrtica" of my Book on Gnomish Airsailship Trade, I describe; The Druidic Forgnome Fot Family of the Ganathor Swamp and Above with Krystiffer Myrt Saltfot, Myrmida Myrteduft Luftfot and their child Myrtefot in a Airsailship they call "The Myrtica".

This is an excelent example of how a multi druidic family often are blending their different druic dogmas into one algamic family unit, this is especially more common in druidic gnomes than among any other race, which more often stay in a monodruic order rather than being blended. Now remember, I am myself not fond of Airsailship travel, which is much of a passion only gnomes have truly found to be their calling.

The forgnome household of The Fot family are as follows;
Krystiffer Myrt Saltfot, age 131, male forgnome salt druid.
a devout salt druid, vivid traveling salt trader, transporter and philosopher with an impressive Salt shrine placed in the family's own gnomish airsailship that flies routes into the deep salt fields of The Northern Ganathor Swamp. Krystiffer Myrt Saltfot is also the husband of Myrmida Myrteduft Luftfot and father of their only son Myrtefot. Krystiffer himself has these most piercing brown eyes and the common green hairs that we all are a costumed to for forgnomes, he also has the talent to cause objects to be used as a projectile, this type of skills are common among forgnomes and for gnomes, only the psnomes are known to have more potent skills of the mind.

Myrmida Myrteduft Luftfot, age 127, female forgnome air druid.
a most impressive gnome and one of only a handful of gnomish air druids, which all are forgnomes and close relatives of Myrmida herself. Myrmida is a druidic philosopher and traveler. Like all of her home clan she has beautiful blue eyes. Myrmida told me how she loves to travel by air, or by dreams as this keeps her the closest to her sanctuary of the Ganathor Swamp clouds, that she follows as part of the Salt trade travel up to the Rielsys Mountains in the South. While I was observing the Fot, Myrmida even showed me how she could use the Airsailship cloud sweepers and even do cloud farming by seeding and harvesting, using some sort of salt like grains that her husband Krystiffer, the salt druid referred to as cloud seeds.

Myrtefot, age 23 male forgnome child, in trained to join his choosing of druidic order when he comes of age. Little Myrtefot has the most beautiful green eyes, and according to fornome traditions this usually predestined him to becoming a true druid of the forest, swamp or there of, and even at this young age he seems to know locations as a second sense, though the order of druidism is not yet set in stone, Myrtefot is almost certain to become a traveling philosopher, within any of the common druidic orders and circles known to attract forgnomes, still to young to have found his focus, no one knows where the nose of this forgnome would bring him.

"The Myrtica" Gnomish Airsailship

The Fot Family Airsailship "The Myrtica":
Common Tracking routes,
Year round pick up of prepared salts from the Salt Druid run salt beds in the Deep, North, Northwest, Land of Ilix, The Ismake River Delta, and The Northeast Ganathor Swamp. Delivery of prepared salts to other salt druid areas South of the Great Ganathor Swamp and up to the Rielsys Mountains, picking up mined salts from the druids on the way, and delivering hard to get salts on the way.

In different parts of the year Myrmida's cloud farming, seeding and harvesting bring the Airsailship traveling routes to the Great Caliphate, picking up other types of salts from the Salt Druids of the Great Caliphate, in the early winter and sunchange months, the tracking of swamp clouds bring the Fot Airsailship to the Salt Druidic run wemic salt plains and deserts to East and North East of the Great Ganathor Swamp.

Followed by a tracking to the Far East Thalmariea outposts of the Salt Druids of the Sea, and then completing the circle of Salt for salt and other goods transport and cloud farming in the Upper Ganathor Swamps.
