I was teasing about Andrew. I didn't realize I hadn't posted my author's notes here, which I'm off to fix if the site allows me to. I'm used to sites where I link to my homepage rather than completely reposting the story.
Yep, Kalevatar, magic maiden, grace and beauty in her fingers is from the Finnish national epic poem, the Kalevala. I've only read the section on the origins of beer and then only excerpts of that but it's quite lovely.
