This comic is subtitled "A Northumbrian Folktale...ish" because it is inspired by folk stories from Northumberland, the northern most county of England which was part of the Kingdom of Northumbria at the time this comic is set. Northumbria was a vibrant cultural powerhouse at the time, trading for resources from across Europe and producing incredible sculptures and manuscripts. I've also incorporated folk tales from the subsequent centuries, and added in a dollop of my own ideas.
Speaking of manuscripts, that little island in the background is meant to be Lindisfarne, of the Lindisfarne Gospels fame! ...do other people geek out about the Lindisfarne Gospels, or is it just me and my Nerdy Medievalist Tendancies?

-reading the artist comment- oh my god I am going to enjoy this so much, it is so specifically written and tailored to a culture and belief, not general "it's classic fantasy weh" at ALL. And the art/composition are phenomenal <3
