Kindred Spirits

The world-building feels so rich and integrated—did the author create new elements or draw heavily from existing D&D lore? I'd love to know how much was mapped out beforehand.

Their loyalty and friendships really stood out, but I wondered if that was a conscious choice to highlight certain themes or just how the story naturally developed.

The title and story emphasize deep connections, but I’m curious whether personal experiences or particular legends influenced that focus.
