The Dabloom Resort and the Olympian fleet
A seven-star island of gold and marble on a crystal-clear lagoon, at the very edge of the highest-level waters (it sits just inside the Ossuary Reaches). It is for Captain's Subscription holders only: the golden gate stays shut for anyone else, and the Olympian guardian fleets patrol the lagoon in groups of one to five super high level ships, forcibly escorting every non-subscriber out.
What is there
- A golden gate at the pier's head, a palm-lined promenade, ambrosia fountains, statues and braziers, and a marble palace with a golden dome.
- Two huge glowing screens you click to play the slot machines.
- A harbour master, a banker and a shipwright. The shipwright sells the Olympian ships.
- The Long Quay where the Olympian fleet lies on display: four level-200 ships and two trailers, every one golden with light blue and white trim, in the Greek manner (a bronze ram, painted eyes on the bow, a stern temple, shields with Zeus's lightning).

The trailers
The Olympian Trade Lighter (12,000 cargo) and the Olympian War Raft (1,400 extra cannon, ballistae, flame, mines and thunder-missiles). Both cost 5 billion gold and need Maritime 200.
Lift bags. Both trailers carry the inflatable bags salvors use to raise wrecks, lashed flat along the rails. Press Sink (lift bags) on the Ship page and the bags let go: she slips under the sea, safe from pirates and weather, and a golden buoy marks the spot. When you are over the buoy, press Retrieve: the bags fill, float her up in a burst of spray and she takes up the tow again. If your ship is sunk, the trailers let their bags go by themselves and settle on the seabed, waiting for you. If you tow two, they hitch on one at a time as you leave port.
Fighting the guardians
Sinking an Olympian guardian is worth a fortune in XP and gold, adds to the Olympian guardians sunk highscore, and earns Gatecrasher (1), Breaker of the Golden Gate (10) and Bane of Olympus (100).
The attack on the trader
Staff can stage a scene at sea: the dread captain Nellemus falls on a golden trading clipper towing two trade trailers on big chains of light. The trailers are unhitched one at a time and sink, the clipper brings down Zeus's Mortal Blast to freeze him, and escapes in Plaid Mode.
