Also, did this feel a bit "wheel of time" to anyone else?
Oh totally. That was kind of my goal at the start, to heavily lean on those tropes and try to twist them a bit. Re-reading the first book since making this I realised it landed a bit too close, most obviously the whole women do the magic stuff... But it's always been a pretty self-indulgent game to make anyway so don't think it matters too much :P
