#WritersCoffeeClub 6/4: "In what ways do your real-world surroundings appear in your work?"

The antagonist's castle in "Tricontium" is somewhat based on the hillfort-like medieval earthworks on a hill near where I live, and the fibula below that plays a role in one of my stories is heavily inspired by one that is the showpiece of the local archaeological museum (the Tangendorf disc brooch). No, in the story, it is never explained how those Vikings got their hands on that precious antique piece!
