Goodreads asked Rishab Borah:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Rishab Borah I got the idea from a role-play I did with my friend when I was about eleven, which is when I first started coming up with the concepts of my series Elkloria. In this role play there were basically people who could shapeshift into dragons and use the magic of one elemental kingdom each. These dragon-people were trapped in a lab and studied by a bunch of crazy scientists. I wanted to expand this and somehow managed to create an entire alternate universe parallel to the normal universe with an entire country of wizards and elemental kingdoms including a dragon kingdom and wizards and demons and Fae and gods and fairies and angels and dark magical artificial intelligences...
Funnily enough, I lost interest in the dragons (mostly, though not entirely) and focused more on wizards, and the kingdom of the mind, which is known as Neurazia in the book.
