L'âge des ténèbres, le complot du masque d'or

The shifting perspectives kept the plot dynamic, but I wonder if it was planned from the beginning or developed during writing. Did it influence how the story unfolded?

The relationships and betrayals added so much depth, but I found myself questioning who to root for at times. How did others feel about the alliances formed?

The lore feels so rich and detailed, making the setting come alive. I'm curious whether the author drew from existing mythologies or created everything from scratch.
