Ahaha, I'm very happy you liked the puzzles & "winks" to other works of fiction :)
I'm going to release a new version today including hints from our exchange here.
I've implemented the first two, and for the ballad I wonder if making only those slight changes of word could be enough:
In the plains the journey started. South he went to the monks temple. All the books he read as wisdom was his goal. Then north he traveled, to the knights college. To become the bravest, was is new ambition. Finally, to the west he crossed a river, and there established the realm's foundations.
You're the first player detailing their experience with puzzles in depth. That's very valuable to me, so thank you!
* to improve the shortcut over the fire enigma, do you think adding a visual hint like this on the wall, maybe hidden by ivy and revealable with a click, would make it better?
* for the portal incantation puzzle, I'm going to add this hint:
* the folk song enigma is indeed too convoluted, I realize that now. It's based on the directions taken by the king in the ballad, directions that should be interpreted into lever positions. I'm going to improve the enigma, not sure exactly how for now.
* for the "page unavailable" song links, I'm afraid I don't know what happened, but glad it works for you now!
A new release is out!

Thanks a million for your feedbacks MedecineStorm.
I hope you'll manage to beat the game ;)
Wow!
This is awesome! Your map is splendid :)
I came up with this on my side:
A lot less prettier, but it fits in a book, and matches the DawnBringer palette.
I'm going to include my version in the game, but I will feature yours on the game page in a moment!
Hi!
I delayed the new release to take the time to improve a bit more this puzzle.
You are totally right, I got the directions messed up due to how my development tools having the map reversed...
Also, awesome hand-made map! Good job on assembling it.
The "multiple names" issue also concerns me. I'm going to try to uniformize that.
Your "extra book with a map" idea is excellent, but not sure I'll go with that due to my limited graphical skills...
I'm a bit in a hurry right now, but I'll get back to this later this week.
