Wind Rider's Oath

The intricate details about the wind riders' culture and technology made the story feel so immersive. I'm curious whether these elements were based on existing myths or created entirely from imagination.

Some chapters felt like they focused heavily on military strategy, which slowed down the action. Do readers think this added depth or interrupted the flow of the story?

The story weaves between large-scale battles and individual struggles beautifully. I'm wondering if the author intentionally foregrounded one over the other or if it evolved during writing.
