Myths & Legends

The peoples of Aventuria tell many stories, fairy tales, and legends about the past, and many of these tales hold kernels of truth. This skill is necessary to recall these stories and legends. You can also use Myths & Legends to tell a story (for example, a storyteller who wants to enthrall an audience with a telling of a beautiful fairy tale would draw upon this skill).
