So... We're playing another campaign, this time inspired in romanian and slavic folklore, so let me introduce Gospod Zidar, half-orc ranger and full-time himbo. The long-tailed tit is a member of his swarm!
Each day the sun dies and is reborn, as Ra leads the solar barge into the Duat at night. Within the Duat Ra is renewed by his attendants, while Set fights Apep the Chaos Serpent. If he succeeds, sun god Ra is renewed, bringing morning light. #FolkloreThursday

Have a sunny Midsummer! The Devs are off to celebrate the nightless night!

#FolkloreThursday Reported in 1907
To find if your lover is true, touch fire to one of his letters. If the flame is bright and clear, he will be true; if the blaze is small and blue, he will forsake you."
The #Celtic Goddess Áine is the bringer of wealth, love and growth. Feasts were held in her honour on #Midsummer Night to bring an abundant harvest and protect from evil. She sometimes appears as a red mare.

The Pyrallis is an insect resembling a large fly with four(!) legs that Pliny wrote lived in copper-smelting furnaces on Cyprus. It draws its lifeforce from the #fire and if it flies out of the flames it instantly dies🔥
Prometheus Carrying Fire (1630s) by Jan Cossiers (Flemish, 1600 – 1671). Prometheus stole fire from the gods so that he could give it to mankind, thereby leading to the development of civilisation. #FolkloreThursday

In Finnish, the aurora borealis is called revontulet, meaning “fox fires." The mythical tulikettu, or firefox, runs through the snowy hills of the far north, its tail whipping colorful sparks into the sky. No hunter can catch the firefox, as it's fast as wind. #FolkloreThursday

Very disappointing that Japan is making usage of American folklore before anyone here even attempts to do anything with the unique folklore creatures available.

In #JapaneseFolklore kanashibari is the term used for sleep paralysis, which can feel like the real and dream worlds are mixing. In ancient times, this phenomenon was attributed to supernatural forces, and in some cases spirit possession by yokai.
