Myth-Forger

The first and most important principle that a myth-forger must keep in mind is that the strength of a myth comes from the belief of the masses. From this principle we extrapolate rules of thumb:

• The best myths start from a grain of truth; this anchors the myth and lends it a certain degree of believability
• Myths are more effective when tailored to the audience.
• The most cunning of forgers layer small, individually believable myths to create sweeping effects over time.

Excerpt from "A Forger's First Fib"

Following from the concept of Rulership, myth-forgers are a secret profession. At their core, a myth-forger is little more than a rumor monger. However, the law of rulership can turn a simple rumor into a keen and versatile tool for a clever mind. A myth-forger might convince enough people that their coffers are overflowing and to may find themselves rich, or perhaps spreads a rumor in a neighboring nation of fierce beasts stalking the land.
