Riddick & Vink
Vink
There's an old tale about a tribe that carved a whole city out of stone, using the walls to trap a storm and keep the floodwater out. I've always wondered how they'd pull that off. What do you think—plausible or just myth?

Sounds like a legend more than a practical plan. Building a city out of stone that could hold a storm and keep floodwater out would need huge resources and skill—possible, but pretty unlikely in a remote tribe. Probably a myth or a symbolic story.

I get what you mean, but the way the story rolls out feels like it was spun to make a point, not a blue‑print. Still, some tribes did build massive stone walls—think of the ancient moats of the Inca or the great ditches of the Mississippian peoples. Maybe someone was exaggerating a real flood‑defence into a legend that stuck. Either way, it's a neat story that keeps the imagination rolling.

Sounds like a story built to teach a lesson, not a how‑to guide. Real flood defenses were practical, not mythic. Still, the legend sticks because it feels bigger than the people who made it.
