  1. Writing Tip:
    Choosing a memorable name for a pub can leave a lasting impression on readers, and also hint at some sort of local folklore or history.

    Lost for ideas? There is a list of "Tavern Names in Medieval London" by Medievalists.net that could prove as inspiration for you.

  2. I haven’t named these creatures yet, but they are the main livestock for Eloailsa.

    They are used for plowing soil, milk, and they are even sheared for the wool in summer. The wool is the primary fibre source for the village.

    They are not fast runners, so if their young is threatened, adults form a circle of defence. Their large and rotating ears help warn them of danger.

  3. #WorldBuilding : Fishing customs!

    For the village of Eloailsa, the nearby lake provides fish, water greens, and clams. The fish and greens are preserved for the long winters, and many villagers spend mornings and evenings collecting or fishing along the shore.

    I took heavy inspiration from Scottish history for the creel basket designs, but they seem to be almost universal around the world.
