Bestowal conditions

If an account has unlocked Veteran Status I or II, after standard Level 1 character creation but before entering the game world, new characters will appear on what looks like a small Guild airship, the "Heart of Wind", with several NPCs.

Objectives

• Speak with Thealeh Auryath
• Tell her about your further adventures
• Tell her yet more about your adventures
• Talk to Thealeh one more time
• Claim your belongings from the minotaur crewman
• Speak with Thealeh Auryath
• Speak with the Captain to arrive in Stormreach
• Speak with Bellwether Bill

Tips and Misc

• Unlike a normal Guild Airship, it is not possible to fall or jump off the sides. Also, there is no "below deck" area.
  • The ship is a Windspyre Falcon model, the 2nd cheapest Guild ship available for platinum.
• The NPC on the forward deck of the ship, Thealeh, acts as a universal trainer, and allows you to choose to advance to either Level 4 (if you have unlocked Veteran Status I) or to Level 7 (if you have unlocked Veteran Status II) before entering the game world. She also allows you to abandon this option and start as a Level 1 character in Korthos.
• You can also spend action points on enhancements after you are done leveling.
• Once you're done leveling and spending action points, talk to the minotaur to get starter gear - (Veteran Status I Starter Items) or (Veteran Status II Starter Items depending on your earlier selection. Multi-class characters may select which package they want to receive, from any class in their build.
• Talk to the ship's captain to arrive in Stormreach at the top of Falconer's Spire in the northern Marketplace (and see "Loot", below).
• On the character selection screen, unfinished new characters will show a location of The Airship "Heart of Wind".

minor bug: If you consume an XP gem (from the daily rolls) while aboard the ship, the ship will only deposit you in The Marketplace. If you intend to start as Level 1, consume any XP gems after arriving at The Grotto quest.
