[vontez]

You also see an elegant tall-masted barque, a dock foreman and a stack of abandoned crates.

This is at the dock at Ta'Vaalor..what the H is the barque? i've never seen it before.

n.
1. A sailing ship with from three to five masts, all of them square-rigged except the after mast, which is fore-and-aft rigged.
2. A small vessel that is propelled by oars or sails.

[Middle English barke, boat, from Old French barque, from Old Italian barca, from Latin.]

The barque arrived for the gala commemorating the opening of the Bard's Guild in Ta'Vaalor on December 15. The Guildmaster and an Archmaster from Ta'Loenthra arrived on it.

don't feel bad about not knowing what it is. The GM's have gotten very creative in there descriptions and find myself on more then one occasion referring to the goggle to figure out what something is.

Actually, LOOKing at things tends to clear up these sorts of questions.
