* FiveRaces: The Five Clans of Britannia are: demons, fairies, giants, goddesses, and humans. The demons were sealed away during the climax of a great war three thousand years prior to the series and the fairies, giants, and goddesses lost much of their powers and numbers in it as well. The result being that humans are the ones ruling most of the island.

* PublicDomainArtifact: The Fountain of Youth which granted Ban his immortality, a magical cup that's ever flowing out with waters that have life sustaining properties, is combination of two famous things from lore. Its name and the magical waters that pour out of it like a spring make it a clearly obvious reference to the mystical fountain of the same name. Given it's a cup and considering the series takes various inspirations from the Myth/KingArthur mythos, this is also a reference to the HolyGrail, an artifact that's sought after in many Arthurian stories.
