The Traveler of the Depths of Paranis, V1, P8 : Into Sancta's known Legends

Created by DarknessWrath.
Sancta Legends, what a beautiful story to hear or read, but not as much as see their draws and painting, the Abyssal Walker is pretty scary...truly scary. Anyway Sancta possess many cultures and many humanoid races, which scientists never explained, but many thought that it was due to Afernaza. Anyway i'm getting too far, let's see their known legends, but keep in mind that those legends are just the main, and most known that every people most know, the Evhunters know probably more, but the War just well...traumatized them a bit.
   

Overview

The main legend where all secondary races of Sancta are agreed to is the fact that a fearful and huge creature will be the harbinger of the fall.

Individually

 

Zufalians

The most known Zufalian legend is about a monster living in the deepest rift of Sancta, sleeping in wait of his awakening, and this day would be the end or the judgement of all the races. The creature is seen above hundreds of meters, with many tentacles surrounding the mouth, or sometimes totally replacing it, possessing huge and thick scales, very powerful members and visible veins, possessing wings for apparently fly above the sea. The power of the creature is like the Melenis power, using Flux or Essentia within their tales. Many peoples seems to have listened to one of his snoring or his breath underwater, in the abyss. He’s called the Resonant Sleeper, and by the surface inhabitants, the Abyssal Walker.  

Anurakis

The Anuraki believe in a legend, where the world move by itself, where a huge icy creature with a huge hammer will appear and create a planetary downpour, with 3 following winters and 2 following summers and then other kind of giants will appear and destroy everything in their path. The huge creature is named the Frost Breath or Planetary Forger.  

Zarok

The Zarok believes in a legend where the world ends within unending lava flow from volcanoes, where their belief take form after 4 days in heat. The formed creature looks like a huge lava creature with some airs of giants and golem, with 2 horns in the sides of his forehead, with a face made in molting rocks. In the end of their myth, the creature recreated the world, reshaped the continents and destroy the weaks. In the mountains few though their hear his magmatic hammer hitting a huge kind of anvil. He’s called the Father of continents or Ancestor of the world.  

The Use

During the Sancta’s War, Grimms and Aferchites uses those myths in their advantage, the Grimms upgraded their Archos Spears in huge energy things, and created a Grimmz they named Titan, the first of them is named Kaatastroff. Above 100 meters and capable of summoning majors Grimmz, like the Apocanys, Maidens or Nightholes. He died in the end of the war, his death causes a huge Grimmis explosion surrounding his death zone, where everything is seemed blighted or destroyed. The Aferchites possessed a creature similar to the Zufalian one, which was capable of going underwater and resist to a high depth pressure, above 100 meter and all the characteristics of the Abyssal Walker, he also died due to his DNA instability, while Afernaza wanted a fear instrument. They also used their last card to make the Ansvalaï flee in terror and live their tree, with the return of one of the Ileonials. But none except the Evhunters , the Grimmz , Afernaza knows his real name, i'll try to seek informations but only mentioning his appearance and it's name was terrorizing the Ansvalaï i questioned.

Interesting article. The opening quote was good for setting the tone. My main advice is that you seem to have a lot of run on sentences. I suggest reading your stuff out, if you can, and where you'd naturally take a break, put a comma or a full stop. If you can't do that, a lot of word processors will suggest options to you for breaking up sentences. Who is the narrator? It was a little unclear. Is it the same voice in the quote?

Hi, Dark here. About sentences, yeah i take a lot of freedom (this one was without the smooth, or clean that Poky does behind me, i did not get further in correction because we got plenty to do, but the following days i would check it again, and see ^^. The narrator is the same than the voice in the quote, its a mouthing into the article, and the fact that i could not add more, because word limits about the challenge, but after then, it will be easily developp, because...well for me it's too few, in both legends created by the races on the planet, or in term of development. I guess i panicked a bit with the limit of words :p. Hoping that i enlightened your comment :)

This is a really interesting article :) I wonder exactly how the myths were used to upgrade technology: any info on that?

Hello there Dark here. At first thanks, i thought it will be bad as fuck idk why, there is no info within the article, but like i mentioned before the whole thing around myths and legends and their impact will be improved and added depending if the article is already made or not, like i say to the others, after the Tale Foundry, many others things will appear, we can't truly make an article/documentary on something famous in a famous magazine with only this, so yeah be ready to things will come out in the next few weeks :p
