I rarely read stories set in this period, but here I am glad I did! Your world-building and writing are both so convincing. I think it is all the little details you added in so matter-of-factly. I was right there in the story.
The ideas behind it -- the female Chieftain, the way she bolsters her people -- are intriguing too. The use of hope in particular is very Tolkienian.
