Hawkships are smaller and agile High Elf vessels. Mainly created to counter Norse raiders and for patrol duty on the rocky coastlines of Ulthuan against any invasion raider, the Hawkships are swift and highly maneuverable. They are designed to perform hit-and-run attacks against larger craft and then escape to bring warning back to the Elven ports. Their crews are formed of hardy young seafarers, who relish the danger of their task and take delight in performing the most alarming and seemingly foolhardy of maneuvers. Each ship is armed with two forward-firing Eagle Claw Bolt Throwers.[1a][2a][3a][4a]
