Ship clan

The Ship clan is a family on the island of Illica, consisting of people who work at the boat-builder's yard in the island's harbour town. Known members of the clan are Vorn the Ship and Brett the Ship, as well as presumably every other worker at the yard.

Members of the Ship clan take their work's name as their surname, as does every other Illican townsperson, meaning it is an "occupational surname" in addition to being a family name. The first of the Ship clan were members of the crews of the three pirate captains who built the Collectors' towers a thousand years ago, while the crew settled around the harbour and built the island's town there, with the Ship clan becoming the workers in the town's boat-builder's yard. In time, the pirate captains denounced their piracy and became the Collectors.
