T.J. Albrecht draws inspiration from the works of J.R.R. Tolkien,
including The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, The Children of Hurin,
and Unfinished Tales.

In addition, he is influenced by the magical world of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter.

Together with Lorenz Fleischhauer, Albrecht has created a platform
that invites co-authors to help further develop the Yi universe.

The first volume of the trilogy The Arachlumen forms the foundation of this world,
interweaving mythological themes with new perspectives
to shape a richly layered fantasy realm.
