The lyrical themes of Moonsorrow, a pagan metal band from Finland, were what originally inspired this story. I couldn't think of a title, so I decided to use the one from the song I was listening to at the time. Christianity did eventually make its way to Finland, but the atrocities committed by Charlemagne were more far-reaching, so I decided to place the story in that historical period.
