Mythbusters tested a myth that the Chinese back in the 4th centuary had a early detection system at their city walls. By setting 200 Liter pots )with skins stretched over them to make a drum) in holes and setting a person in said hole to 'man' the drums they could hear the approach of a tunneling army.


People watch this episode it is really awesome.


Idea; a wall defense system in areas of Avaria; the world BP is set in.

used in;

The Rahaun lands?
Pearthea?
Aquilla no
Southern Nations

"Baragas there's always fighting in the south."

I am still debating on doing NaNo.

I am a busy woman to begin with. And I don't know that it would be successful. Yet I am nuts and thinking I have this interesting idea which might work.

The idea has quite a few nifty elements that have kept me up at night thinking about them.

A band of three brothers in exile.
A Blood Oath.
Seven powerful sorceresses.
An invasion and overthrow
A prince in hiding.
A sacrifice of some sort.

Overall I can see a series (I don't think in stand alones tbh) that might hit seven or eight books. Revolving around these sorceresses. NaNo would be the first one.

Lots to think about really.

What are your NaNo thoughts?
