Has anyone seen Barry (aka Marcus)? A homeless gentleman whom I’ve not seen since before the pandemic, he’d been a regular visitor for “vittles”(on and off for about 15yrs). Let me know if you have news of him.

theme of clothes, or lack thereof: a Hob-thross lived in Millom Castle. He slept during the day, worked at night, doing the chores the humans didn’t want to do. One winter he was offered clothes, an insult to a hob-thross, so he left.

Giants. There are quite a few tales in local folklore.
My favourite, Giant's Cave near Penrith is associated with two giants called Tarquin and Isir who lived on a diet of human flesh, until Sir Lancelot slew Tarquin in battle.

Fun fact (and not really spoilers, it just took a while to come up with this, meta-wise) - Suzu is what is known as a "parou". He's some sort of Umbrian bird species that looks like a parrot/conure

Tel is actually the one to use the term for the first time as she has one too~

Along Hardknott Pass, faeries have their home.
Cumbria’s Faerie King Eveling holds his court. He's an intriguing figure because of his mythological connections, his name similar to the 'Avalon' of Arthurian Legend

If your cows are taken ill, they may be 'elf-struck' - shot with a faerie arrow.
According to Cumbrian folklorist Marjorie Rowling, elves got the arrows from faeries, who got them from mermaids!
