The Saju view
Because Nolan begins with T, D, N, L or R, the system counts its first sound as fire, and the first sound weighs double. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Nolan is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. Nolan supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Nolan would add to it.
