I wanted a feel that communicated the wild power and fey touches in various ways, with some subtle hints of other elements. E.g. the warforged (probably by a different name) don't know who first created them, and don't know how to build new forging engines, so they're constantly in peril of losing their population sources. That implies ancient magic by forgotten ancestors, which is a juicy story to dig into, but one that plenty of individual warforged might not care at all to solve. "Not my problem" sort of thing.I'd probably also take some inspiration from FFT. The way religious litany plays a role in magic is very interesting, and executed in a way that implies deep doctrine without actually letting us see that doctrine.</blockquote>
