Ships are a major freight transport method and also very frequently used for passenger traffic where there’s the opportunity to drastically cut travel distance - one of the main passenger ship routes being for example Taitepamba-Līlikanāna on the opposite shores of the Flæmvasta Sea. Ships are also obviously the main means of transport in insular areas.

Boats are very commonly used on rivers and are - together with railways, where present - the main method of transport in the southern rainforest and in the far northern taiga. Inside metropolitan areas with many waterways or on lakes - like Yāmbirhālih, Pamahīnėna, and to a lesser extent also Līlasuṃghāṇa - there often are boat lines connecting various settlements.

===Education===

Education, in the Inquisition, may be either lay or religious depending on who teaches (laypeople or monks), but it should be kept in mind that even "lay education" would be considered religious anywhere on Earth. Anyway, apart from curricula and internal organization, most of the system is standardized for every school, be it civil or monastic, across the country.

School years take place entirely inside a single calendar year - the exact start and end dates vary depending on the diocese, but generally school years begin between the 12th and the 24th day of Māltapārṇāvi (the first month of the year, the first of autumn) and end at the beginning of Bhaivyāvammi (eleventh month), a few days before both the summer solstice and the Bhaivyāvāṣara, the most important celebration in the Yunyalīlti/Chlouvānem calendar. Non-higher-education final exams usually take place during the following month, Īlāmyasena, while repair exams take place during Camimæchliė, the fourteenth and last month of the year.

Chlouvānem schools, today, are not gender-segregated, but (except for primary schools, and in a few areas also basic schools) this was not the case in the past. Until the late Third Era, seminaries were only open to girls, and in most dioceses this continued to be the case even after (during the Nāʔahilūmi years even some dioceses that had allowed boys into seminaries went back); it is only since the society-wide gender equality laws of 4E 48 (5610) that gender segregation in basic schools was ended and boys were allowed nationwide into seminaries; however, many dioceses kept gender segregation in secondary schools for decades. Tumidajātia, the last diocese to end gender segregation, only did this in 4E 98 (11610), 17 years ago.

Chlouvānem schools are divided in three stages, two of them mandatory. The first stage, non-mandatory, is the ''lahīlah tarlāmaha'' (first school), called ''saminyahikeika'' (literally "children lecture garden") in some dioceses. Children usually begin going in it in their fourth year of life following Chlouvānem age count (= children at least 3 years old), but a few schools, especially monastic ones, allow even children one year younger. Anyway, in rural areas it is still somewhat common for children not to go to first school, getting the equivalent basic education at home instead. In first school, children start learning how to read and write, and first schools are exclusively in Chlouvānem, bringing full exposure to the lingua franca instead of the local variant. During the second year of first school, children start being read and commented a few important extracts from the holy books of the Yunyalīlta. First school is not divided in grades, as classes are always mixed-age; one class usually contains from 25 to 40 children. Almost every parish (= municipality) of the Inquisition has at least a first school, often administered by the local temple.

====Basic school====

The second stage, and the first mandatory one, is the ''šermālgiumi tarlāmaha'' (basic school), which is always either government-controlled (''šarivāṇi š. t.'') or monastic (''ñæltryaukah š. t.'') — private basic schools are forbidden by law<ref>As everywhere in Chlouvānem society, monasteries are considered neither private nor public, but almost like a world for themselves, even partially independent from the Inquisition itself.</ref>. Like for first schools, almost every parish has at least a basic school; in the smallest parishes that have them, it is usual to have first and basic schools in the same building or plot of land. Grades of basic schools are age-dependant, though it is not rare to find pupils that skip the second grade due to a particular talent, passing directly from the first to the third grade (such a child is colloquially called ''maihælinaikīn''); much rarer is the case of children that after one or two months of the first grade are directly assigned into a second grade for the rest of the year. Children enter basic school during their sixth year of life; the four grades are called ''lahīlah (heirah)'' (first (year)), ''hælinaikah'' (second), ''pāmvendeh'' (third), and ''yårṣendeh'' (fourth).  Basic schools, as their name already says, have the purpose of giving children the basic teachings propedeutical for everything else. In practice, this means Chlouvānem grammar, basic notions of religion and civic education (no distinction between them is made in Chlouvānem society), maths, history, geography, sport classes (archery and athletics) and usually another language: in areas with a second official language (so-called ''ethnic dioceses'') it's usually that one; otherwise it is most commonly [[Skyrdagor]], sometimes [[Kalurilut]], [[Cerian]], or [[Bronic]].

====Secondary education====

The third stage is the one of high schools, which is actually composed of three different types of schools:

''pūnatarlāmaha'' (pl. ''-āmahai'') — work school(s);

''pradīma'' (pl. ''-ai'') — institution(s); ''upānāraḍa'' (pl. ''-ai'') — seminary/ies.

Unlike for first and basic schools, not all parishes have third-stage schools; today rural areas usually have a few of them serving relatively large-sized areas, but in the past they were, especially seminaries, only found in cities. Many third-stage schools, especially those serving large rural areas, are thus boarding schools, having or using accomodations administered by deacons or Inquisitors, and thus usually with a strong religious imprint.  ''Pūnatarlāmahai'' are many and all vary according to the chosen specialization, but they are all aimed at forming artesans, workers, farmers, and similar professions. They are seven year long - from the fifth grade (''furḍendeh''), with children in their eleventh year of life, to the eleventh grade (''vældendeh''), with pupils in their seventeenth year of life (the beginning of which is the age of majority in the Inquisition). The eleventh grade in work schools is also called ''tarlāmahi kahėrmaleni (heirah)'', (class) of the school certification.

Institutions are secondary education schools with technical and scientific specialties; they are classified as either scientific institutions (''tarlī pradīmai'') or economical institutions (''ladragyaltarlī pradīmai''). They are aimed at forming pupils for dirigential offices, deacons (laypeople working for the Inquisition), or simply for scientifical, economical, or medical Universities. Institutions are two years longer than work schools, ending with the certification grade (the thirteenth in total), called ''kahėrmaleni''.
