Lords of the North

The balance between historical accuracy and mythmaking really stood out to me. I'm curious what inspired the choices behind blending fact and legend in this story.

Some characters’ motives felt layered and ambiguous, which made the story more compelling. Were their loyalties driven by genuine conviction or personal ambition?

The intimacy of the narration gave a strong voice to the protagonist, but I'm wondering if that was planned from the start or a later choice to deepen immersion.
