Royal Volningrad Steamboat Company
Robul Vursovich, creator of the Khadoran
steam-powered paddleboat, inaugurated the first
commercially successful steamboat service in 303 AR.
His steamboats originally ran the Shattered Shield
Lake, but it was slow going; settlements along the
shores of the lake were small, and local business was
slight. However, with ports in Volningrad and Rorschik
and ready access to the Orlovsk Highway, Vursovich’s
success on nearby Lake Volningrad was inevitable. In
a few short years, he had grants from the crown and
formed the Royal Volningrad Steamboat Company.
The first steamer on the lake, christened the
Jakime Chadin, was equipped with two long boilers
and a unique brick smokestack. Her engines were
third-hand, and she was not the fastest craft on the
water. The Jakime could make the trip across the lake
in about a day, or as quickly as a man could row the
distance, but she operated on Lake Volningrad until
an unsolved fire sank her in 359 AR. Despite the
fate of the Jakime, the Royal Volningrad Steamboat
Company continued and now deals mainly in the river
transportation market on the Lothpool and Moskrad
Rivers as the bearer of mails, provisions, and articles of
trade between Khardov, Skrovenberg, Port Vladovar,
and the various small towns and communities along
these routes.
