Captian Compass

Created by Nullzero

This ornate brass compass features a needle crafted from celestial silver that shimmers with an otherworldly glow. Rather than pointing toward magnetic north, it perpetually orients itself toward the course that the Celestial Empress has officially committed to sailing, serving as an infallible navigation tool for the vessel's crew. The compass face is inscribed with arcane runes that pulse softly when functioning properly, indicating the instrument remains attuned to the ship's true heading. Should any crew member attempt to secretly alter the ship's course without official declaration, the needle immediately quivers and spins erratically, revealing the deception to any observer. The surrounding runes flare with crimson light during such discrepancies, making concealment of unauthorized course changes virtually impossible. This magical artifact has proven invaluable for maintaining order aboard the Celestial Empress and preventing mutiny or sabotage. Captains who possess this compass gain absolute certainty regarding their vessel's trajectory and the loyalty of their navigation officers.
