Uh-huh. My apologies. When you mentioned the word "Lorelei", my mind suddenly jumped to the ship mentioned in the movie Ghost Ship Lorelei - once a proud ocean liner that carried boxes of unmarked cursed gold, causing the crewmen to slaughter amongst themselves and the passengers. In the end, all but the one soul collector demon (posing as Jack Ferriman) survived, and took the gold to the ship Antonio Graza, which resulted in the movie's opening sequence (if you seen Ghost Ship you'll know what I'm talking about and if you haven't seen  the movie  I won't describe it to you: may be too replusive to hold your meal ).

That's why when you mention the name I was hesitant to use it. But there may be good reasons for me to name the Maharios' warship the Sentinel: From Naiad comes mermaids, and then relates to their possible distant relative (?) the Sirens, and in another interpretation, the sirens are always used for early warnings in the event of an airstrike, blaring loud noises to warn people of incoming enemy air forces. Hence from "siren" comes "sentry", and then "sentry" arrives at the word "Sentinel".

And yet, the Sentinel was just one ship. There were at least fifty or sixty-or-so warships - ALL UNMARKED (the Laufer insignia was only temporary) AND UNNAMED. I can name another ship the Lorelei, and there will still be loads of 'em waiting to be named.

====================================================

NOTE:

I'm piecing together the war aftermath story. Help me with the ship names (as many as you can think of) and the wesen Nick protected - ALL of them.

Thanks.
