Die große Jagd

The intricate magic and cultures feel so rich — I wonder if it was all mapped out from the start or fleshed out during writing. How much of this universe was planned in advance?

There are moments where the story shifts to political intrigue that felt a bit slower compared to the action scenes. Was that intentional to build tension or just how the story evolved?

The journey felt like a true adventure, with each new setting adding depth. I’m curious what led to the decision to include so many diverse realms — was it to emphasize the epic scale?
