[OOC] The Relics (No Plot/Fantasy/Character Driven/Worthy of Skepticism)

[WilsonTurner]

Even Myth, who reads tails and tales of everything possible of realism and of imagination only described the Vocators as 'mere girls!'

Aaah, okay I think I missed the part about the Vocators being a well-kept secret. I just figured that since they were old, no doubt some of Shin's predecessors had traveled to The Empire to hear about them. In that case I'll edit it all out! Thanks for pointing it out :)

Yeah, the level of information technology was really what I was concerned with on that front.

To be fair, Myth is an ignorant child so I wouldn't count his worldly knowledge as definitive in any regard.

Edit: I meant to edit this into my other post, don't like posting twice in a row.

Ignorant only in the real world and in practicality. He knows plenty of fairytales, you know!

Ah I forgot, fairy tales contain detailed military information regarding distant foreign powers. How could I forget the story of "The bear and the Manhattan project" which taught little Russian girls and boys the design of nuclear weapons.

How many can a battle canoe hold?

'Tis a war canoe, friend.

For all your answers, look here.

To be fair, That sounds like an amazing bedtime story.

Why is there a war canoe in the cities harbor? You could have stuck with stealing an actual boat? (Not that you can't go the war canoe rout.)

Touché.

We woke up in middle of night. Got a decent answer, then will sleep more.

Why not? Perhaps there aren't regular boats on that lake/inland ocean? A huge canoe like that is in many ways much better than a boat. There's no saying that its design is the best design available in this kingdom.

I read more about the history of war canoes and I suppose they might be useful for transporting men and products up and down river, which is the primary function of boats in Othea.

Edit: I feel like longboats and small galleys would be more standard in Othean water.

I assume that the best the Yuushinto's can do is sent a spy to infiltrate somewhere as a servant or something like that, search through libraries, translate the more important things and copy them (which would take years and years, just for a single book since they'd have to ask the library for permission unless they'd do it secretly) or pressure people into spilling their secrets (however that'll only happen in specisl cases since they don't want Da-Hyun to get a bad reputation.... Besides the plundering - pirates - thing....) and of course their own observations when travelling (a city's architecture will tell you a lot about possible defence mechanisms). So then a secret that ha s been kept as well as the Vocators wouldn't be known by them.

[Guilty Spark]

That makes sense, well it's nearing midnight so I'll get a post up tomorrow.

[Pathfinder]

Oh god, sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Once I finish with the post I'm working on now I will make one here. A thousand apologies.

Oh, I just posted in Where The Angels Fear To Tread's OOC, so you can read what I said there. No worries.

Actually, Bor made it himself just in case. And it's his own... He didn't steal it....

He does spend time in the city, you know.

[Pathfinder]

Post is done. I still need to practice my fighting scenes.

I don't think you got my point at all. Why does he have a boat if he came to the city on foot?

@Pathfinder, it was good. Are you caught up on the IC and the current invasion?

[BingTheWing]

Well, you know... What does one do with all that leftover timber?

@Path: nice post, but how do you plan to react to the invasion?
