Oh, I really liked this one!! You wove the worldbuilding in really well, and I understood the stakes and felt for the two main characters in a very short amount of time. I liked how the different visuals for presenting text (especially the little boxes for worldbuilding) helped break up what might otherwise look like an intimidating block of words.

An immersing and atmospheric work. I like it!

There's a lot to like, the punchy writing, starting in the thick of the action, and how the lore drops provide quick context without being overbearing. If you get to expand this story, I think it would benefit from some of the back and forth between the brothers being weaved in elsewhere to save the confrontation carrying everything, but a good start!

Enjoyed this a lot! Establishing so much worldbuilding in such a short experience--and without it feeling clunky--is very impressive. By the end, I really felt like I could make an informed choice. Great work!
