Setting, Indigenous Eastern Shore of Virginia

Indigenous setting

Debedeavon is loosely based on the real Laughing King, Debedeavon (which you can read about here ). His tribe ruled the entire peninsula. Great liberty was taken to adapt the indigenous tribe’s fate, larger indigenous connections, and relationships, to say nothing of traditions depicted in the historical portions of Mulch.

The indigenous peoples in Mulch are giants.

Inspiration for the giants of colonial America came from a variety of sources. A sampling can be found here.
