Re: Help with Definitions/Object Assignments
Heya! As a writer of historical fantasy, I figure I'm close enough.

In stories set in historical worlds, definitions can include stuff like what people ate, what they wore, what their houses looked like (for example, square/rectangular houses didn't come to Ireland until the Medieval era; they lived in round houses until then), etc. What were the clothes made of? What is the government like? Armor? Etc.

Also, you could describe the prophesy as your object. If it's real, you do actually have an element of fantasy because real prophesies are a product of the fantastic. If it's not, but gets fulfilled via the efforts of people attempting to fulfill it (i.e. a self-fulfilling prophesy), explain where it came from and how it will affect your story.
