COSSACK AU

Thinks of cossack corvo but also it doesn't match him well because he serves the crown and stuff, and as far as I remember from like 6th grade Ukrainian history, cossacks were pretty rebellios and stuff. But I did have a concept of cossack whalers

funky freedom loving dudes that had their own camps and participated in a lot of fighting stuff

But anyways during my last trip back(almost a year ago woa) I saw this amazing shirt with Ukrainian patterns in gold and the shirt itseft was dark so ofc I thot overseers and made a few sketches. It would make more sense for heretics to be the cossacks and for the "overseers" to hunt them down since that was also a thing I remember from history class, not everyone liked what the cossacks were doing and some leaders were finding it disruptive and stuff

The shirt in question

BUT UHH UMM THE EMPRESS COULD BE LIKE THE QUEEN THAT WAS SENDING PPL TO GET RID OF THE COSSACKS??

They had like their own fortifications and ecosystems so they wouldn't have to depend on others too much and grew their own food so the flooded district is ofc that place.

Also..... the whalers doing tricks on horses.....
