Any particular books/movies/games influence your story?
Like npub192dxh7ltd73hqpw873nvjfq0mrn68rtl6mnc7z4dcjh07806p22q3l7tgc (npub192d…7tgc), I have way too many to list exhaustively because I'm a literature and popular culture scholar but I can give you some keystone influences.
1. The original plan for the Cantata of the Fourfold Realms was three books divided into three sections, with 13 chapters per section. That's changed a bit because the Cantata is now projected to have 5-6 books BUT, I still keep the 3 parts subdivision. The influence? Dante's Divine Comedy which I have read in multiple translations.
2. The anchoring myth is in Lucius Apuleius's Golden Ass.
3. Not movies so much as classical music: Cantata? Bach. The Ferahia? The pianist Murray Perahia. also, the main musical influences were Debussy, Ravel and Gluck's Orphee et Eurydice.
