Runes of Royalty

Their motivations felt layered rather than just good versus evil. I'm curious if the author drew from existing mythology or created their own interpretations.

The runes and their powers seemed thoughtfully crafted, but I wonder how much of it was mapped out beforehand versus developed as the story progressed.

The blend of political intrigue and fantasy elements made the story so immersive. I'm curious whether the author envisioned this setting from the start or if it evolved during writing.
