The Nuora were among the oldest cultures on
Ranul. What little is known about their roots comes from the data on
the Guardian of Identity and the legends passed down by the survivors of the
Final War.
Storytelling
Their myths and legends were a cornerstone of Nuorian society. It appears that they were woven through every aspect of daily life, from their etiquette to the way they built their homes and interpreted natural phenomena. Many of these tales go back to long before the written word.
With the beginning of the first industrial age, people from other nations began to take a keen interest in Nuorian mythology. Scholars travelled along the southern coast of the Zugnur Sea in order to interview storytellers and compile their tales into books which soon became popular all across Ranul.
Perception by other cultures
Readers were fascinated by the mysterious and magical mood of these legends, their romantic ideals and educational undertones. For many working-class people, they served as escapist fantasies that let them dream of easier and more just times. Poets, novelists and painters often drew inspiration from their themes, and scientists were eager to replicate the supernatural phenomena described in them.
With the advent of motion pictures, many of these tales were adapted for the new medium. Several recordings were included on the Guardian of Identity, and even in the present day, social scientists are still studying the differences between retellings by the
Rilanga and the
Ran-E-Zu.
Its really cool that their stories are the cultural element that is sought after. Thats a clever Idea. I also like how AI and Scanners helped them reconstruct murals too. That's something alot of people wouldnt think about. Well done!
Thank you very much! I'm happy that you like these ideas. It's fun thinking about how the Rilsu discover the cultures that came before them.
