A ship made of [[wizardwood]] by the [[Rain Wild Traders]], and sold to families of the [[Bingtown Traders]].
The price for a liveship was is substantial, with families often committing further generations to fulfill the repayments. If a family was is unable to pay, then a member of the liveship family was might be surrendered to the [[Rain Wild Traders]]. This begats begets the phrase, "In Blood blood or Goldgold, the debt is owed." The figurehead of a liveship "quickens," or comes to life, after three succeeding generations of the owning family have died on its decks. The memories of those who had died coupled with the ship's will and skill to sail flawlessly make the liveships matchless against other ships. A liveship always has to have a member of her family aboard, to keep the family traits showing instead of those of a dragon. == Liveship Traders series == The characters [[Paragon]], [[Vivacia]] and [[Ophelia]] are prominent liveships in the Liveship Traders series.  == Rain Wilds Chronicles == [[Paragon]] [[Tarman]]
