Klątwa nad Chalionem

The setting feels so detailed and immersive. I'm curious whether the author drew from real-world history or created it entirely from imagination.

There were moments where his decisions felt morally ambiguous, which made me question what I would do in his situation. How did others interpret his actions?

The pacing and reveals kept me hooked, but I wonder if the narrative structure was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing.
