Just so y'all know, the rumor mill will be inaccessible until you start the newspaper or set up a spy network or something to that effect.

Shouldn't that just improve the quality of the rumors? I mean the point of rumors is that people spread them, that is why they are rumors... Hearing rumors only requires talking to people about current events.

No. Because the worldbuilding is time consuming enough without having to run the events through the Prester John machine.

I don't mean we need to hear gibberish... I mean we should be able to hear the obvious stuff. Like big wars happening close by or the king dying. The kind of stuff everyone that talks to someone occasionally should know.

You know another option for a book to write might be introducing and detailing the concept of the Scientific Method.

I have to ask, as I'm not as familiar with Creation as I'd like, but how common would a purely mechanical stopwatch be. Would it be mildly interesting, a trinket, or something completely new?

You know what, sure. Gigantic world shaking things like the city being conquered or the king dying or the Empress going missing will show up without starting up the newspaper. But anything less important than that sort of thing won't show up.
 
competence is too short a post.
