The Shogg was a small unnamed ship built by the slaves of Riftgard. Princess Kurda and Prince Bladd intended to use the vessel to recover the pawring and crown of King Sarengo. Instead three slaves, Triss, Shogg, and Welfo, stole the Shogg to escape from Riftgard. When they landed on the shore of the western coast, Triss and Shogg had to abandon it because Kurda, her Ratguards, Plugg Firetail, and his Freebooters were quickly approaching.
Later, Triss and Shogg recovered the ship and encountered the runaways, Sagax, Scarum, and Kroova. Collectively, they escaped their pursuers. After Shogg died from a bite from Zassaliss, Triss named the ship Shogg in his honor and presented it to Gulif, who became the new captain.
