TRADITIONAL STORIES
Every nation has its tales of faeries, Kobolds, mermaids and other mythical creatures. But there are stories that are unique to Tamlaghtan folklore. Here are a few typical examples...
The Goddess of the Six Primary Colors.
Every day Shumilla the Maiden waited by the waterfall in the deep woods for her lover to come. And every day she waited in vain. Could it be because she had no lover? It is possible. Poor Shumilla! One day, the dwarve brothers, Lumpy, Crusty, Oozy and Carl, were passing by the waterfall and heard poor Shumilla's piteous tears. They could think of nothing else to do but kill her and bury her in a shallow grave. Such bad dwarves!
How the Whale Got Its Stomach.
The Little Faeries of the Dewy Dells were sick and tired of painting acorns every day, so they went off to seek advice from the Magic Zither. The Magic Zither, however, was feeling pretty punk that day, and told the Little Faeries to get lost. So angry were the Little Faeries that they put a curse on the Magic Zither and to this day no one can listen to a zither without wondering if they turned the water off before leaving the house.
The Story of the Iron Duck and the Big Bad Stormcloud. Once upon a time there was a golden goblet that made whomever drank from it unable to speak so anyone could understand them. This did not particularly bother the bold highwayman known as the Black Woodpecker as no one could understand him anyway.
