What do you like the most about medieval Europe?

Happy to share another painting I for my worldbuilding, a concept for an East Frankish/German Knight from around 900ad.

I took inspiration from early medieval regalia, as well as a few hints of tribal Germanic influences

today is a nix! These playful water spirits come from Germanic and love music. They can often be found playing their fiddle as they dance around rivers and lakes.

In some legends they can even appear as horses and charm humans with their majesty!

Thanks for the thread! These guys are OC's for my upcoming Comic Hoodie. The whole idea behind it is that there are people possessed by monsters or characters in myths or legends. Those two are possessed by Bast and a Germanic Imp respectively

Odin, king of Norse/Germanic gods, was occasionally found leading the terrifying Wild Hunt. Anyone witnessing this cavalcade had surely seen an omen of death, a divine sanction to war, with the horror of being pulled into the furious cohort to be lost forever.
