Buchanan HACR environment and develop your story, first of a trilogy, fantasy unmundo slightly different than usual in the géneroépico in what could be labeled the novel. A world dondeconviven edged weapons, daggers, swords and crossbows, with lapólvora, artillery and other firearms, where inventions almost "outdated"-if such a thing possible in a world invented, are in common use, such as trams, blimps, commandos, elevators or a hotel where everything funcionaechando curious coin boxes that release the choices, desdeabrir doors, use the bathroom or open the windows .. .
