*spoilers for Tawny Man Trilogy*
This is purely speculation and discussion on one of the many thousands of things that could happen in future books.
Chade, from what we know, discovered the combination of black powder yes? And through many trial and errors he got to make his big bang out in the ice. Now I don't really know my history of black powder (how long it took to become used for weapons, ect) but do you guys reckon this could lead to the creation of guns? Cannons? and other similar things. And this step forward could be one of the Fools reasons to keep dragons alive? So you know, the humans don't go gun frenzy.
Again I dunno how quickly it'd take to go from black powder to experimenting with cannons. And also I doubt a cannon could hit a dragon unless it's like... sitting next to it. Eh, this is just an idea thats been bugging me.
Though! One question. I could have sworn I remember Fitz talking about Cannons before. Like, once, I'm pretty sure in the Fools Quest. I'm crazy ya?
