Caballeros de Viriconium

The mix of a dying Earth with fantastical cityscapes created a unique vibe. I'm curious whether this combination was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The history seemed deeply woven into the world-building, making the city feel alive. How much of it was mapped out beforehand versus developed as the story progressed?

The characters’ struggles felt resonant, but I'm wondering which aspects of survival—physical, moral, or existential—hit hardest for others.
