The Lightbringers

Summary

Out on the Aeonian Ocean, East of Endolia, many fishermen tell a tale of great mystery. On a calm day, when there is no land within immediate sight, and you can see the darkness of the ocean below, they claim to see bright lights shining beneath the waves. Some people believe they angles of Alyna, sent to warn sailors of encoming doom. Others claim that they are devils within the waves, using the light as bait to drag hapless sailors into an icy, cold grave.

Historical Basis

The many eye-witness accounts across the Odyssean Kingdom make it hard not to discount this creature existence; however, there has been no physical evidence suggest that these things are in fact real.

Spread

In many of the fishing communities on the Odyssesian coast, this legend is spouted many times over with varying tales being bounced off of it, but it hasn't spread much further.

Variations & Mutation

The only variations of this myth deal with what exactly the Lightbringers are, whether they are malicious or not, should they be hunted, that kind of stuff.

Cultural Reception

Most other Endolian cultures don't really give too much credit to this myth. However, the Serronian pirates and Northymbrian tribes seem to give respect to the idea that the Lightbringers are real.
