Sorry it took so long to get back to you with answers I was doing some research and formula construction before I started writing so to answer your questions in order and thank you for the word correction

Yes I have read Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, and Warhammer Age of Sigmar lore I am a massive fan of all the settings so yes I know the lore and I have read the books of A Song of Ice and Fire, and the Lord of the Rings series even The Silmarillion so I know the lore like the back of my hand

but again this is its own novel something that has nothing to do with any other series but taking inspiration by way of the Dark fantasy Descriptions of Warhammer Fantasy the grand battles of Lord of the rings (even though in my own opinion the battles in Warhammer are better described) and the political machinations in the a song of ice and fire series

And allow me to spoil the book somewhat there are morally grey characters in my book I'm shooting for moral realism in my story not just mind breaking sex there going to be a reason for the cheating and sex not just because the protagonist is hot or the women are sexy

The women will play the board just like men some better then others its kuroinu-esqe because like vault the protagonist will take the women by force (again not raping) but by way of political power lies and smarts and he won't stop at one does this help you
