The Intercontinental Ferry is a ferry service that links the South-East Heartland continents of Probitas and Nous. The service operates across Temperance Sound between Sant Iago in Laudo Deo and The Red City in the independent Spaamanian territory of (Spaamanian) Plijous. Departing from both cities three times daily, 365 days per year, it offers a cheap alternative to flying between the two contintents.
