The technology of Echoes re-imagined!

I just had an epiphany. I am going to completely overhaul the concept of the technology in my book.

As it stands everything is leaning more towards Sci-Fi. And although I am a fan of the genre, I want to strike a better balance with my love of Fantasy. So... I have decided to redesign the Daedalus Air Ship.

Instead of being completely driven by turbines and Arcanium Cyrstals. It will make use of a series of high yield Arcanium Turbines that are only meant to keep the massive vessel aloft. And to inject logic into the overall design. I will set a rule that forward locomotion will be gained through the employ of traditional sails and wind.

This new direction gives me an opportunity to hinge an early plot device around the design. Estro, being mindful of his past mistakes and the catastrophic explosion that decimated the First Imperial Fleet of Aerial Warships, is an advocate for cautious use of technology. I would elaborate further, but that would risk giving away too much of the story.

In closing; This new direction will have some major repercussions to the context I've established with the first draft. It's very exciting stuff.
