I fuochi del cielo

The layered politics add depth to the story, but I wonder if real-world history influenced these choices or if they grew organically from the world-building.

I loved the richness, but keeping track of everyone was a challenge. Was this complexity intentional to reflect the epic scope, or just a side effect?

The magic feels so integral to the story, and I’m curious whether it was fully mapped out from the start or evolved during writing.
