El Zigurat de Kalak

The setting feels so vivid and detailed — I wonder if the author drew from existing lore or built it from scratch. How does this influence the storytelling?

The story shifts between action and political intrigue, and I was curious if that balance was intentional or just how the plot evolved.

The magic feels both mysterious and grounded, which is tough to pull off. I wonder what inspired the specific structure of the magic within this world.
