Koohii Story 1 The church carillion was composed of metal bells that informed when it was the correct time to go to church.
Koohii Story 2 "Wtf is a carillion? How about ""gong"" instead. Picture a game show where they bang on the gong every time you get the correct answer. Or, if you want to go with the book explanation, carillion is the ""western"" bell which is struck from the inside rather than outside. Story: just like everything else in the East (writing, utensils, etc) bells are harder to work than necessary, being hit from the outside and all. The correct way is to put the gong on the inside, makes it so much easier."
