Tales from the Teya'o Iva

Tales from the Teya'o Iva, set in the world of Va'ita, chronicles the exploits of a merry band of air pirates. In a world where steam engines (and fire mages) are still the primary source of power, the Teya'o Iva is an airship with a difference: it's engines are electric, powered by a pair of rare stormcats called Ruvala ('spot') and Ruba'ova ('stripe'). Its crew is an eccentric group of rogues, misfits and exiles from around the world.
