Lennox Folktales

The Kingdom of Lennox, in addition to their mythology through the parables of Northern Lux, retains a large wealth of tales and passages derived from Yularan cultures. This page serves to document some commonly recounted tales.

The Wraith of the Desert
The tale begins long before the tribes of Yulara began stonemasonry, in the days of mud, grit and strife. One tribe, whose name remains lost to time, would travel to a nearby village to barter their fish for the village's bread and orchards.

Now, this was no easy journey; for the desert lay between them, and it was barren and treacherous. Old and weary travellers recounted tales of laughing jackals twice the size of a man, obsidian slivering things that were seen only by the light of a full moon, supping of dunes like a man would of a berry-tree. Amongst the things of the desert, man too served as yet another persistent threat. The wildlings lay in the dunes, taking for pleasure and survival, at the cost of many an unwary traveller. This became such a burden one year, when the fish were scarce and the harvest was poor that both villages were on the brink of starvation.

The start of the hot months meant desperation for many. The period relied on three main journeys.
