Legendary Figures of Urth

Revision as of 19:13, 27 March 2022 by Lerasi (talk | contribs)

Mythologies, folklore, and religions all over the world feature legendary figures. In all cases, the history of this figure is uncorroborated, and often this includes their existences. Gods, demigods, heroes, ghosts, magicians, and other sentient figures are inexorably linked to the culture of every nation on Urth. No matter their classification, they may be found within this article, in alphabetical order sorted by continent and country. This list only covers sentient beings, and non-sentient creatures, mainly animals, may be found in the corresponding legendary creatures article. If a being is sentient, but represented as a beast, they may be found in the legendary creatures article as well.

Arcturia

Banteay

Anak Bangkeut is the supreme deity in Banteayan mythology, said to have descended from the stars following the birth of the world in order to plant the seeds of the first tree, which now stands at the center of the Banteayan Jungle. It is said Anak Bangkeut created the elves in the image of his spirit, and the dragons in the image of his body. He then ascended to the heavens in order to watch over his creations, and guide them through their protectors, the dragons. He is traditionally depicted as a male, but some art shows a more feminine figure, indicating that he may have been seen as genderfluid by the Banteayans. When seen as an elf, he usually wears a long white robe, which sometimes leaves his torso bare, revealing the tattoo of a branching tree on his chest and back. When appearing as a dragon, he is shown to be the same color as the Banteayan dragons, but much larger.

Aivintis

Lerasi was the God-Emperor of Lerasia in the years before the common era, said to have conquered the lands of Aivintis and Serdemia by the might of his armies. His rule is poorly documented by the historians of the era, and sources from the era were mostly destroyed by the Aeternist Inquisition, but many stories, especially oral tradition, have survived through Lerasianists and Yuserists. These stories indicate that Lerasi was seen as the legendary son of Arkyr, their previous deity, who was sent by his father to unite the chosen people under one banner. They depict Lerasi as a mighty warrior, who decimated an army of thousands alone, with nothing but his sword and spear. Others feature Lerasi controlling or defeating legendary creatures, such as Karo Vadas, the black dragon attributed with the conquest of Serdemia, or the sea monster Dulbochini, who Lerasi hunted in the depths of the ocean and slew after it attacked the city of Casteniya.
