Every child hears gets to hear bedtime stories. Every child grows up with legends of old. Down here you'll find the myths and legends spread through the world of Forged in Fire. Some bright, some dark and twisted, and in all of them a certain truth. The question remains, what is the truth and what is just a tale?

The White Stag

Deep within the Ironwood Forest lives a white stag. A gorgeous creature with a coat of snow, with vines and spider webs twisted between his ancient antlers. This creature portrays the wisdom and hope of the world. Living in peace and seeking nothing more than to grant those who pass him a wish.

The story goes that the white stag will grant you one wish if you find it. No more, no less. Treat him with respect and he may even share his infinite wisdom with you, giving you power and knowledge beyond imagination. Some desire to kill the beast, as it is said to grant every wish you've made during your entire life if you were to succeed. If you are unsuccessful, however, you will be damned to a life of bad luck and shame. You will fall from your mighty throne and live your life in the dirt.

Kingsbane

Deep down in the black waters of the Sea of the Serpent lives the most deadly monster known to mankind. She has claimed a soul for each year she has lived. She has killed many kinds of people, from poor maidens to wealthy pirates, but seems to have a special appetite for kings. The legend goes that she has killed five already if not more...

Her true name is unknown, but her long, fiery red hair is well known throughout the land. She is called the Kingsbane, a siren with a lust for those of royalty. No one seems to be able to escape her once she has picked them as her prey. Once your eyes meet hers, your fate has been chosen. When she has acquired her victim, she pulls them into the depths of the waters, where she takes their crown, coin and gold. In your last moments, all you will hear is the ripping of your chest as she takes your heart while it is still beating.
