Elfangor's Secret

The mystery surrounding Elfangor adds a layer of intrigue, but I'm curious whether the author planned this reveal from the start or developed it during writing.

The story's tension seemed to dip when the details about Elfangor's secret were revealed. Was this intentional to build suspense or a chance for reflection?

The world-building feels rich but accessible. Do you think the author drew inspiration from classic fantasy or crafted a completely unique universe?
