#runeterra is such a diverse setting it's fascinating how it actually fits together

I must say what a curious design for a ship - and it is remarkable how Runeterra's art manages to truly sell how "different" Nilah is in her origin. Like Viego, you will not find her homeland on the Runeterran map, both Camavor and its smaller neighbor Kathkan are to the east, far beyond the Shadow isles. Culturally you got a tremendous visual variance across Runetrra. Let's just look at the boats we got so far:

Miss Fortune's Syren - small, fast, sleek, and essentially a small high-class boat repurposed for bounty-hunting. Given Sarah's rampant (and let's be real, not entirely unwarranted) paranoia its a small vessel to be crewed by a few crew she actually trusts.

The absolute contrast to that is Ganplank's Dreadway - although an explanation for the massive size might be that it was originally a Noxian ship. Gangplank just literally stole it right under Swain's nose.

What would be a massive flex was soon forgotten as the Noxian Military-Industrial Complex took serious affront to the dishonor of losing their flagship and went into overdrive, creating something even more insane:

The Leviathan, probably the largest and also first engine-powered naval vessel in Runeterra. That thing is reaching 40k-vessel territory in how it a swimming city capable of delivering an entire army and operating as a swimming military base at the same time.

Its reliance on fuel combined with a limit on manouverability does not automatically put in on top of the naval food chain however, but it's still up there, especially compared to what the rest of the world is cruising with:

What they lacked in funds those Jaul Hunters definetly did not lack in courage. Although a proper Hunting Fleet looks more like this:

Alternatively, can we interest you in half a submarine?

Given how Jack is so deeply entwined with the demonic and reality-distorting presence of Tham Kench, I am not sure if this can be called a boat or just a weird metaphor given shape.

Other regions have boats too, but have seen not many artworks yet - Sejuani's Tuskraider being an exception showcasing a Freljord raider.

They got a funky way of storing them too:

Just to make sure you don't accidentally lose them in the snow or have them freeze into the bay.
