Flame of Asuryan
The Flame of Asuryan is Prince Yriel's flagship.[1]
It is an Eldar Dragon Ship given its name by Yriel, who was at the time High Admiral of the Iyanden fleet, when he was given the honorific of Bearer of the Flame in reference to the sacred Flame of Asuryan contained within the Shrine of Asuryan at the heart of Iyanden.[1]
The Flame of Asuryan has three sails, one on the spine of the ship, and one on each outrigger armed with Pulsar Lances for attack. It also carries a powerful weapons battery and Eldar Launch Bay with Nightwing Fighters and Phoenix Bombers. The vessel saw Yriel to many great victories at the head of the Iyanden fleet. When he was exiled from Iyanden, Yriel took the Flame of Asuryan with him. Years later when Iyanden was threatened by Hive Fleet Kraken, Yriel returned with the Flame of Asuryan to save his people and went on to be restored to leader of the Iyanden fleet.[1]
