OP, you can't start with world building. Cut the first paragraphs IF you decide to go on. Your idea is underformed. I suggest you read more outside of fantasy to improve your craft. Tolkien did it. Check out these titles:

Beowulf (Tolkien's favorite)
Crime and Punishment (Your story will lend itself to the inner monologues in this)
Infinite Jest (The best worldbuilding out of fantasy)
Gravity's Rainbow
On the Road
Les Miserables
Don Quixote
The Sun Also Rises

These are all tailored reccomendations to you specifically. Your style is honestly decent. But no one can write anything but shit on their first try
