Alteran Folklore, Figures, & Songs

Hello all.

There was a thread similar to this some time back, but I do not recall the title in order to search it. And so here we are. I have created a character named Eudora who is a performer. An actor, a poet, a singer. In short, she is a bard.

In my quest for this character, I aim to write folk songs, epic poetry about Alteran Events, and short fables. Perhaps as a way to put my useless English Literature degree to use. Either she has written it herself, or perhaps she's quoting "old and long dead poets."

So what I am asking of you is this:

  • Who are some figures you think Alterans would sing songs about?
  • What are some events that people would write about?
  • Any myths and fables you think are significant?

223hero7 used to have a bard character, and AFAIK invented his own songs, so he probably has some input for you.

As for some figures, Tybalt and Arthorius are pretty famous (arguably closer to infamous) for trying to murder each other for years, if you're looking specifically for player figures and not event figures like Grief, and there's Archbishop Elias who is considered the founder of a new religion and got possessed by one god to fight another god. For other factions, Axex as leader of Hawklight is pretty legendary, and Freya in Lonmar, although I don't know enough to provide details.

I'd probably say Scardrac, Gelyk, Basil, Turik, Leminth, Albareth, Eminu, and Archaeus. Whether they're popular for good or bad reasons doesn't really matter, they're still characters that Alterans would probably sing about.

As far as myths go, something about the Vyres or Spirit Blessed(I think they were called) would probably be an easy bet.

I'd argue that Draco has more historical fame than Freya and more personal achievement at the moment.

All the legacy characters probably hold degrees of fame from minor to major.

i don't count people who are famous for spawning in items to cheat at an event

Pls Albareth got most of the server banded to bring him down, still got away with it and retired.

The Legend never dies.

My friend you assume that I read back through the thread. :heart:

Also let's think... to your list I'd add Legion, Polo (stopped the flooding of the world, that's something to be remembered by! ;o), Abbey (Syrien Queen), Sally, Vorar, obviously the Immortal Kings (Cherbert, Sherbzz, Ducatii, Steel, Aug etc. But they're not really common knowledge), Deadpress (Leader of the largest bandit faction in Altera), Lathan, Tzemik, Kuthian and I can't think of anyone else atm.
