Anvil Dark

The setting feels so vivid and detailed—I'm curious whether it was inspired by real-world history, mythology, or entirely from imagination. Did the author have a specific vision in mind from the start?

While I loved the depth, those moments made the story feel a bit slower. Was that intentional to build tension, or could it have been tighter?

The characters' choices felt complex and realistic, but I found myself questioning who the 'good guys' really are. Did the author aim to challenge traditional hero archetypes?
