Herren des Westens

The story balances lighthearted moments with intense battles, which kept me hooked. I'm curious if that tone was planned from the beginning or evolved as he wrote.

It made them more relatable, but I wondered if that was intentional — to show that heroes are imperfect too. What did others think about their development?

The setting feels so rich and detailed, almost like a real place. I'm interested in whether Eddings drew from existing mythology or created it entirely from scratch.
