Bluefins

Bluefins, sometimes simply called "blueys", are double-hull sailboat-like public utility vehicles. They are known for their ability to sail in boat water and air, making them a popular means of public transportation. Blueys are commonly uniquely decorated, as such no two of them are exactly alike.

History
The design of bluefins come from old boats used for fishing and for ferrying people to and from nearby islands. A combination of wind magic (runic markings made on both hulls) and technological innovations granted bluefins the ability to fly. Originally these vehicles were called blennies due to their sailfins and the tendency for them to fly low on land. Soon though, they were built to fly higher and faster, and were painted in tones of blue to blend into the sky and water. These iterations were given the nickname "Bluefins". Throughout the span of The Great War, bluefins were used to transport soldiers and supplies swiftly through both air and riverways.

When the war came to a close, the Armed Forces no longer had much use for the surplus of bluefins. Some were either sold or given to the people. The rest were destroyed by anti-war agents presumably led by Aloysius Granger. However, he was acquitted of these rumors due to lack of evidence (probably also destroyed).

The bluefins that remained in the hands of the people were stripped of military weapons and were altered to suit the needs of carrying more passengers. Roofs were added for shade, more room was made for passengers, railins were added for safety, and chrome plated ornaments were added along with the runing markings on the hulls becoming more vibrant.

This has made the bluefin an inexpensive means of public transportation. Seeing this, the government began adding multiple docking points within populated areas to ease the flow of traffic. Recently, a plan was proposed to regulate bluefins by making it so that only those with a special licenses to drive these vehicles would be allowed to opperate them.

Racing
Bluefin racing is an illegal and unsactioned activity that takes place. There have recetly been two reported accounts of unsanctioned bluefin racing in Merrowlight. Both took place on an uncrowded but public flyway, and have led to injuries both on the part of the riders and bystanders.

In an interview before her arrest, one of the riders, Anna Moby, called for the legalization of the sport, stating that "these bluefins were meant to go fast I tells ya, fast" and that "it would make a lotta bank, see? Less likely for people to not end up like me, see" while she gestured to her neck brace.
