誓いのとき : タルマ&ケスリー短編集 (Oathblood)

The magic felt so layered and integral to the story — I wonder what inspired the rules and lore behind it, and if it evolved during writing.

The character’s sense of duty made me sympathize but also made me uneasy at times. How did others interpret their moral dilemmas?

The setting felt so vivid and lived-in, I’m curious if it was drawn from real cultures or entirely imagined. Did the author base it on anything specific?
