The HMRS Balor Drakenfiend was a Tiran man-of-war commissioned by House Drakenfiend in 2A 5989. Possibly the largest warship ever constructed, it spent most of its life moored in Caislean harbour as its sheer size made it impractical to store anywhere else or use due to resources needed for the crew. When Tir declared war on the Imperial Troll Empire in solidarity with The Meritocratic Republic of the United People of the Pools in 2A 5999, the ship was requisitioned from House Drakenfiend following their refusal to assist in the war effort. Its only action in the war was acting as a support vessel during the opening hours of The Siege of Mor'Koc, where it was intended to sail down the Mor Estuary and drop off a number of siege engines and additional troops once a foothold had been established.
The trouble for the ill-fated ship began a mere hour after they entered the Estuary as the ship, whose crew were not fully informed on the flow of the water or the specific routes of the Estuary and were trying to avoid running aground in the silty waters, went the wrong direction and strayed into the Manzili side of the River Mor, upon which several cannon crews from the top of the walls of the town of Mogoi spotted it and responded by firing at it. This had the effect of punching two large holes in the hull of the Balor Drakenfiend, causing it to list heavily to starboard; the sound of the cannons also alerted the Mor'Koc City Guard to the ship's presence, something which was not supposed to happen at all.
The Balor Drakenfiend managed to get a number of ballista shots off, dealing only superficial damage to one guard tower before the increasing listing of the ship from intake of water forced it against the rocks at the then-entrance of the North Docks. The surviving crew who didn't flee in the lifeboats were captured, as was the colossal ballista mounted at the bow of the ship, nicknamed The Morian Mouse, which now resides in the gatehouse of the Imperial Palace.
Following the wars, House Drakenfiend decided not to salvage the ship as it would be too expensive to move, and the Empire did not wish to remove it themselves so it remains where it wrecked, and the city's North End has slowly grown around it as the docks have expanded so it now sits near the centre of the district. The body of the ship is largely intact, and so the interior has been completely cleared by the Imperial Arts Committee and it is now a theatre known locally as "The Wreck". The ship itself is listed as an Scheduled Monument by the Imperial Historical Society, and its huge bulk which towers over most of the buildings in the vicinity makes it clearly visible from most of the North End making it a well-known landmark in the city.
The sails are not original; these are later additions by the Arts Committee for aesthetic reasons and are often advertisement banners for upcoming shows.
