Fletcher Pratt and L. Sprague de Camp took the protagonist of the Harold Shea series through the worlds of Norse myth, Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene, Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, and the Kalevala — without ever quite settling whether writers created these parallel worlds by writing these works, or received impressions from the worlds and wrote them down.

Partly the Faerie storyline in Bindings was written to appease DC's desire for a " big " story to launch the new series with: Rieber's original starting point was to be the Summonings storyline instead, introducing Tim's first girlfriend Molly O ' Reilly and demonstrating the writer's desire that the stories should be about " a realm that has never been mapped by the Royal Geographic Society and never will be.
