The Vestrit family, owners of the ship, are traders in the bustling port city of Bingtown. Their fortunes and challenges are intertwined with the ship's journey, as they navigate complex relationships, trade rivalries, and the mystical elements of their world. The liveship serves as a symbol of their legacy and the struggles they face.
