The history of this German statue isn't familiar to me, but I know all about the inspired replica of this in my new fantasy city 😁
Writing and worldbuilding doesn't always have to be dry 😁

Writing Tip:
As a writing exercise, create a list of 'virtues' and 'sins' for a chosen character. What good and evil things have they done, either in total or just recently? Check the list, and see if they're really the hero/villain you think they are.

The Tower is The Black Desert of Virgil’s nightmares.
Every time he sleeps, the shades of the people he’s wronged chase, torture, and kill him. Over and over.
A Hell he built for himself, but in a place with no light… everything may not be what it seems.

I do not consider all of my antagonists evil. A few are unrepentantly so, and I've no shortage of war crimes and nuanced serial killers.
How evil are your villains?

How do you ensure that each chapter engaged the reader enough to keep turning pages? It's not just cliffhangers and interesting character development points. What's your strategy?
