Tanis, the Shadow Years

This period adds so much depth to his character and the overall story. I wonder if the author envisioned this arc from the start or if it developed during writing.

The political intrigue and magic systems felt incredibly real and immersive. I'm curious whether all of it was mapped out beforehand or if it evolved naturally.

Balancing personal conflict with epic battles can be tricky. I’d love to hear how the author approached giving space to character growth without slowing the pace.
