So you know a lot about a certain subject? One specific type of science? An obscure historic event? Just random fun facts that have nothing to do with each other? TELL. ME.

Napoleon was making a conquering sweep through Spain, when he was forced to stop and siege a single town by the name of Zaragoza. The people refused to give up, even though they were just villagers against Napoleon's army.
They fought them off the first time and were completely destroyed in the second. Nonetheless, an uprising lead by mere villagers held Napoleon's army from June 1808 to February 1809.
Of the 32,000 men at the start of the siege only 8,000 survived.
Their spirit of never giving up inspired me so much I created a character (Zaralinda Gozan) in honor of them.

Fun fact: The phrase "Blood is thicker than water", meaning family is greater than friends, originates from "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb", meaning the friendships you form through faith are greater than the ones formed by family. Boom.
