Curse on the Land

The mix of magic and suspense kept me hooked, but I wonder if the author planned this blend from the start or let it evolve naturally during writing.

It seemed like there was more to the curse than just a simple spell, adding depth to the story. What theories do others have about its true source?

The world-building felt vivid and immersive. I'm curious whether real locations or entirely fictional landscapes influenced the setting choices.
