bedlamsbardOkay, this was supposed to be the Greco-Persian Wars, not the Iraq War. Or downtown Los Angeles.
I have security checkpoints. The next thing we know there's going to be a suicide phoenix or a drive-by minotaur axeing. I FEAR FOR NARNIA, GUYS. Back to the woods! Back to the woods!
As if the ghettoes of Cair Paravel weren't enough already.
ALSO. The Great River is now some weird combination of the Mississippi and the Thames. I am installing riverboats. PERHAPS CAIR PARAVEL WILL IMITATE NEW ORLEANS SOME MORE and the riverboats will be home to thecasinos gaming houses. Actually, I like this option.
...does anyone get the idea that Cair Paravel would have been a helluva lot more wholesome if I'd gone to Wellesley instead of Tulane?
I mean, for one thing, I probably wouldn't be wondering if the architecture in certain neighborhoods of Cair Paravel could imitate the architecture in the French Quarter.
Seriously, I'm kindly telling myself that we can't have a suicide phoenix because they're extinct. And it's a good thing we don't have civilized griffins or hippogriffs because we'd be getting flybys over the bad neighborhoods of Cair Paravel.
I was not expecting all the Iraq War military memoirs I read to come out in Dust. *facepalm ad infitum* I haven't even read any recently! Most of what I've been reading has been, well, ancient Greece. I have a stack of history books on my bookshelves about medieval and ancient warfare, as well as pirates and some navy stuff! I mean, granted, some of the stuff about Cair Paravel -- the bits that didn't come from New Orleans -- came from Scott Lynch's Camorr and Tal Verrar (REALLY? asks the crowd?), and I have this feeling that some of ancient Athens is going to sneak in (possibly because of what happened to Athens in the Greco-Persian Wars), but now Cair Paravel also has elements of London, modern Baghdad (there is not a Red Zone and a Green Zone. YET), and Los Angeles.
I DIE, KIDS. I DIE. Also, I blame![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lassiterfics for some of it. *cough*theghettoes*cough*
And you said putting gunpowder in would be bad. At least it was still medieval then.
