Sarn; a land of death and rot wrapped all up in hope.
The whole story had a glossy, magestical vibe on the surface with an underpinning of gloom. Magics are fading since the last major war. Changing the dynamic of the world, leaving power vacuums that the right sort aren't necessarily jumping at the chance to fill. This makes it hard to sum it up. It had a little of a lot of things. Legends, ancient landscapes, mystical beings, but also a push for progress and release of the knowledge of what was.
It was very plot driven, teaching about the past, as it does events happening that push the characters to react. It slowly introduced each element, with very detailed description and emotional narrative. I caught a lot of the twists, thanks to the slow pacing, but still enjoyed where it all led to.
