Many apologies but can't utilize airships. The tech level is insufficient, it's straight classic sword and sorcery fantasy.

This will require a massive revamp to fit the game world, but the core concept is pretty awesome. In this world the wars are between the demons and devils, each being the yin to the others yang. They exist in a place one might consider like hell called Drammun (dra-moon) and are actually the psyche of one of the ancients playing out a schizophrenic fantasy of a split personality that hates itself. The actual hells are populated not by classical fleshy DnD demons but things called psychological daemons, which are more like concepts of personal horror (they are also the demons that possess mortals). Psychological daemons are actually far more dangerous because they can't simply be killed. Either way, the story of Kedra could have taken place in the 2nd or 3rd age when the demons took over the world and the sword could still be in drammun.

The sword isn't something I'd expect to come up in the current game but it's a fascinating concept that should certainly be put in, I like specifically the notion that no one is sure if it's mind control or demonic nature

Yeah, wasn't made for your campaign world. Actually, one of my characters made the blade- ah, the joys of evil campaigns and the craziness they bring forth.

Also- soul stealing based item creation and a high level ranger victim. HAH!

One word...Eberron...lol

My afformentioned evil enchanter character is planning to build a flying ship. Out of the souls of pixies. See... doing the math... I should only need about fifty of them to install into choice locations within the vessel. Basically making a flying frame of metal that's capable of supporting the necessary weight. From there, a ship can be built. There will be a control room with a magically suspended model of the ship.

All the flying frame pieces are programmed so they'll attempt to stay in the correct x-y-z location relative to the model ship. If you push the ship "up"- the floor will begin to "chase" it upward. The higher you lift it over its suspension point, the faster the vessel will travel. It would also be able to twist in all kinds of fascinating directions. I'll probably build it saucer-ship-style for maximum efficiency.

The control room itself will have some enchantments stuck on it to keep both pilot and model ship suspended in the center of the room. Always keeping the pilot sitting "upright" in relation so the ground.

Eventually I'll get the entire vessel made out of something metal and magical. "Behold, my f-ing flying tank! Powered by pixie souls. And possibly an air elemental. Also. Cannon. With enchanted cannonballs. Also made from peoples' souls.

Ebberon hardly qualifies as "classic" sword and sorcery IMO. You are free to debate that as much as you like but it won't change the fact that there are not airships in this this home brew world in the current age

I am also playing in a game right now where my character is building the first airships with his company. One of the other PC's is the inventor and lead engineer. Decidedly though, it's a steampunk setting, which IMO is where airships are actually most appropriate. In GURPS terms it's the difference of TL 3 and TL 5. My world is around TL 3-4 in most civilized regions.

Yeah. But is yours cool enough to run on pixie dust souls?

Actually...

Ours runs on MAGIC GAS!

I know what you're thinking. GAS is another word for FLATULENCE, you are correct in that assumption, however it's not accurate but is fun to think about.

First question, is this still open?

Secondly, I still have to investigate the wiki... how 'high magic' should artifacts be? I had two ideas, one more in the 'weapon of legacy' mould, and one... well, one's going to be a touch more magical.
