Welcome to the first Myth Contest for Vaeringjar! Every Culture has myths or stories that are passed down generation to generation, and since Vaeringjar is based off of Scandinavian Village Life, I wanted to make a little story book that people could use in their RPs. These stories are often told at festivals, and to the cubs of the pride as they grow. It helps shape their lives and the culture of the pride.
So what does this mean? It means we are going to SoA-ify Norse Myths! This is where you come in. You're going to tell that story.
Find a myth from Norse Mythology that you like, and re-tell it within the bounds of a SoA setting.
Things to Keep In Mind:
- Vaeringjar is a Lion only pride, they would see the gods and their mortals as lions, any dogs should be replaced with Maned Wolves or Jackals, Ravens should still be Ravens, etc. We want to keep consistent!
God Names should remain the same as the norse myths, even if there's a SoA counterpart to that specific god. Many Norse Gods are gods of more than one thing (IE Freya is the Goddess of Fertility, War, Death, etc) and SoA gods only have one domain.
What's Going to Happen To These Stories?
These stories will all be added to a storybook thread in the Vaeringjar subforum for use within the pride! You'll be given credit for the story on both the post with your story, in the Table of Contents, and on a special "Contributors" section.
