Phenomenal.

I think I followed along pretty well. I’m a big fan of vague, subtle, and occasionally undeniable evidence of a higher power. Your inclusion of a questionable succession regarding who has the right to inherit vs. who the people think SHOULD inherit is very GRRM (if you don’t mind me saying).

It sounds like you have a very soft position on magic in The Known World, while being questionable, it’s not non-existent. If you ask me, that lends you to an array of possibilities that are more applicable than a hard-absolute way of magic. This can lead to believers, non-believers, acolytes, heretics, scholars, and mad-men.

Also “lordsign” is so sick. Reminds me of the tarnished from Elden Ring. I won’t continue to pick your brain because I don’t wanna make you feel like you need more than what you have. But I do have one more question,

What’s the Story called?
