you are trying way too hard to make a fantasy copy of Jesus. The sheer amount of theological terms and concepts you used was fun to read, but is...
A world entirely devoid of salt wouldn’t last long. I don’t know about other creatures, but humans require salt to live. Hernando De Soto talked...
Prophecies are definitely my least favorite trope if the story is trying for any suspense whatsoever. my favorite trope is probably the...
I think European culture is largely ignored (don’t shoot me yet). The reason I say is because we always end up getting a vaguely English or German...

Still doesn’t make sense if there is magical beings apart from humans, or if the “wizards” are more powerful than humans.
I think you could look to historical examples and figure it out, although you might want some sort of magical explanation just for the added...
I don’t really know, I’ve just always liked creating things, and writing seemed to be the easiest medium to manipulate. I enjoy telling stories...
