Thank you so much! That's a huge compliment regarding Viatica- the fact that it's not your usual genre but that you read the entire thing anyway. Thank you for telling me!
I love the comparison with DA elves, being a big fan of DA games myself. There are a lot of real world examples to base the Iredicci on, unfortunately. I had in mind the indigenous peoples of America, but you have a good example, too. I'm glad my story inspired such reflections.
Thank you, again! I am definitely having a lot of fun writing this. I will always love Viatica but it's nice to start on a fresh new idea. I can't wait to share more with you!
