As I read 7 and 2 (working on chapter 5 tonight), it's as if you are describing a place you may have actually been - you paint such a clear and present picture! Is the landscape based on a land you have visited? Or is this a land that exists only in your writer's mind? Your descriptions are so vivid they create the feeling that it is a real place and make me curious to ask . . .

Rodi Szoke I wish I could've had the chance of admiring the dragon's back at the top of the Bhormak mountains with my own eyes. Or strolled through the streets of Ferdhen during its fair. Most of these places are the product of my imagination. But I have to say that the Stapian forest was inspired by many gorgeous places I'd visited in northern California; and the multi-colored farmlands south of Kelfia by the beautiful landscapes I'd seen during my trips to Europe. I am happy my narrative was able to take you to those places.
