The dz̧ahwatşabu is a dirigible that relies upon hot air in the balloon for lift and the thrust of a captured air elemental for forward motion. The vessel relies upon a gondola to hold the crew, passengers, and its wares. The dwarves of Gdelisica invented the Dz̧ahwatşabu around the year 1390. The presence of a captive elemental among other components of the ship requires a practiced mage to handle the air elemental and many other technical aspects of the vessel's mechanics. Some later dz̧ahwatşabu employed multiple air elementals in an effort to give the craft supreme speed and maneuvrability. The dwarven wizards of Gdelisica first used these craft to check on their mountain fastnesses and to support trade with Tauhad. Wizards of Medibgö adopted their own versions of dz̧ahwatşabu and began to fit them out with elaborate gondola's, using them as pleasure ships to voyage among the skynesses of Medibgö and beyond.
The first galebelly skycraft were invented in the 11th century (ca 1060 AI) and relied upon warm air for lift. The word dz̧ahwatşabu is from Ithradic Dwarven and is a type of galebelly craft. The plural form in international use is typically undifferentiated, dz̧ahwatşabu. However, in the 1400's dz̧ahwatşabu which used the superior aeolian vapor were developed. These were called the bacamarion.
Dz̧ahwatşabu continue to be used up to the present day, some fitted with additional titancraft technology and some using titancraft for thrust rather than a captive air elemental.
Chronology of the Dz̧ahwatşabu
- ca 1060, Galebelly craft first developed in Thrace and Gorcorumb. These use a balloon-like vessel filled with warm air. Some have skycraft wings. These are galebelly craft, not true dz̧ahwatşabu.
- 1390, dwarven wizards of Gdelisica develop the dz̧ahwatşabu, which uses warm air and a captive air elemental
- 1400's: dz̧ahwatşabu fitted with aeolian vapor for lift. These become the bacamarion.
- 1400's: Medibgösk wizards construct their own dz̧ahwatşabu as pleasure ships.
- after 2487: The dz̧ahwatşabu began to see a decline with the invention of Murshadak's Chamber (2487) which is the first stage in the development of titanships with Coelodermic Volitundums.
