#anyway xadian naval combat for piracy is probably mostly sky and ocean magic so

[kradogsrats]

so I'd assumed the reason there wasn't any naval warfare to speak of between Xadia and the human kingdoms for a thousand years was that the Spinning Sea prevented east/west travel in the south Charybdis-style and the Frozen Sea prevented it in the north The Terror-style, but s5 shows that apparently??? they've been able to just sail around the Spinning Sea???? all along??????

anyway I was thinking about that and piracy and was suddenly like "wait a minute, none of these fucking ships have any cannons, what the Disney-ass fuck???" and it honest to god took me a solid five minutes to remember that there's probably still a generation or two between now and someone in Katolis inventing gunpowder and causing everyone to have a bad time
