To port, a covey of slim fighting galleys plowed swiftly, while starboard there lay a huge war galleon that was unmistakably of Meryon build. It was triple decked, and from shuttered ports on its sides, the bronze cannon that were still rarely found in the world could fire. A dreadful and untrustworthy tool of war, Hugon thought; by the favor of the gods, the fashion for those monstrous things had never spread far, though the black powder had been known for a long time now.
    Hugon, whose agi
...le brain possessed a truly remarkable assortment of information, had once delved into the mysteries of chemical art. Though the exact means of mixing black powder was a guild mystery, he knew that it required three elements, two of which were easy to find. The third, the white salts, were not easily gathered, and therefore the art of making the black stuff was, to his great satisfaction, little practiced.
    Also, only in Meryon were really strong cannon cast; their smiths had secrets known to no others.
