I’ll go first.
One of my main characters is a horsey type, along with the fact that my world in set in a time where horses/horse and carriage were the main modes of transport. So I’ll need to research horse breeds, horse maintenance, where the horses get kept when travelling, saddles, other horsey stuff.
🗡Along with this I know nearly nothing of knives and other hand weaponry, so again this is an area I will need to research. One of my characters comes from a wealthy background, the other a poor one, and so what would the differences be in the quality of weaponry they would have.
🕯There no artificial light, so candlelight is in order - I know a little about rushlights, tallow, candlefishes etc but I want to look into this more too.
I need my story to sound authentic, as there nothing worse than reading a book where the writer hasn’t enough knowledge on subjects they’ve chosen to include in the writing. Research also in theory equates to rich storytelling in my opinion.
So, commence the thread…
