I'm sorry if this has been pointed out before but has anyone else noticed the numerous references to the wheel of time series.
1. The Source Back story: This matches the tainting of sadin clearly
2. The Source Hunters: These match Aes Sedi clearly, particularly the red ajah, your main characters are dressed in red when you first begin, they hunt those who use a tainted source and the defaults are a witch and a knight (aka a Aes Sedi and her warder)
Thank you for reading
