Selbeneer the Great

Selbeneer the Great, known also as Silo Bulge and Sloomtickle, is one of the great airships of Poorthwart, and is the main mode of transportation of The Admiral, his creator and captain. He is also a repository that uses unexplained magical powers to isolate war, removing from Poorthwart the scourge of battle and the otherwise unbreakable cycle of blood feuds and revenge.

Description
Selbeneer is a Transom-Sigh ship, and is as large as a small Titan. It is implied that his size can vary, and his interior can be far larger than his exterior. While his appearance can change, he always is shown with two eyes - which resemble the eyes of an insect - and with a large wagging tongue. He also has a hook at his tail end, the purpose of which is unknown. He will often appear with large bushy eyebrows and a single, vestigial leg with web toes.

Personality
While Selbeneer is largely treated like a vehicle, he does have a personality and is capable of engaging in dialogue and decision-making. He is especially partial to the works of Charles Dickens - apparently a feature common among airships. When he is worried or sad, he can become so overcome that he loses the ability to fly or care about life, as occurs in the encounter with The Tall Things.

History
Although it was created by the Admiral, it is said that Selbeneer was famous even before his design, leaving one to wonder at a possible back-story or history.
