Lore:

> The necklace-looking thing is an Yngtor. In my fantasy WIP, they're ornamental pieces of jewellery, worn in this way (with it tucked into a belt) for specific dances, as Nandagol's doing. Each string of beads honours a notable ancestor; the green (supposed to be peridot but eh) for male ancestors, the red (supposed to be granodiorite but I don't know rocks) for female ancestors. Yellow beads are for ancestors who identified as neither male nor female, but none of Nandagol's five notable ancestors fell into this category.

> The runes on the round gold plates are ᛞ and ᛗ, the elder Futhark runes of 'D' and 'M'. These stand for the name of Nandagol's tribe, the Drakkarmær (lit. Longship Maiden, after their founder. I know, mær is a rude word in Danish, but it's fine in Old Norse), of which she's the daughter of the chieftain. The runes on the plate below that are ᚺᚨᚱᛃᚨ, 'harja', the name of her clan. This comes from an inscription on the Vimose comb, and may mean 'warrior'. It's a pretty word, anyway.

> Ashmys, her homeland, has a lot of volcanic activity. As such, there's always ash in the sky. The rusty red markings on her face are the Ashmit solution to that; it's gulum (from the Doric Greek gălā́nā, for lead sulphide), a compound believed to protect the eyes from irritation by the ash. The ancient Ashmit got the idea from the kohl used by the levantine people (this fantasy novel's an historic urban fantasy, so the Levant means the same area as it does in real life) that they traded with, long, long ago. Over time, the application of gulum became more and more elaborate; Nandagol's wearing a style known as Ornhofði - eagle-headed, in her language, which is definitely not nicked from Lucio from the Arcana (it started out as a placeholder because she needs her gulum but it's grown on me too much to change it :/).

What if "Sorry About My Nan" was an A24 film? Maybe the poster would look something like this.

HUGE thank you to @moonsanoverthinker for the high quality screenshot of Tom as Ethel, I couldn't get a clear one for the life of me and having her in the background like that adds so much. Also fun fact, that building? It's Berghain.
