| The fable of the Wild Twins.
Jorgan and Jordan, born of nobles; twins which was ever so odd in the Ancient Era. The pair were inseparable throughout childhood, playing as all children do, in the Wild surrounding the Village in which they lived. Only they didn't play with other children, as the other children did, they played only with each other and the animals that fell folly to their games. It is said that Jorgan could ride a horse before he could walk and that Jordan walked with flowers falling at her feet and critters following her every move as though she were a goddess herself.
As you can imagine it didn't take long for the pair to gain a reputation for themselves; not a pleasant one however as they were outcasts from society; loners and freaks.
As feminine as Jordan could be, she never acted as other girls did; she refused to cook or eat meat and Jorgan never learned how to wield a sword due to his other interests. They were inherently weird, right from being born Twins, to their childhood upbringing and this caused them to flee into the Wilds.
This betrayal caused their parents to uproar! Shocked and appalled by the actions of their children, they denounced them and acted as if they never gave birth to such oddities.
It was ten or so years later however, post the death of the Brothers and when the first generation of “Voidsworn”; minions of Phelgas, razed the world in fire and brimstone did the Twins earn respect.
A hawk, it is said, flew to Jordan's shoulder and sat making an awful racket of chirps, bites and pecks that she understood as a warning; her people were in great danger thus she and Jordan on mounted companions, charged in the direction of home to find their parents dead and the village still in deep war.
Upon their arrival the tide of war immediately changed; the Horses, once lame without their riders, started to revolt and fight back as one with the forces; as much of a Warrior as the Warriors themselves almost doubling the numbers. The Wild; entailing birds, insects, beasts of all sorts and even the plant life stood strong in honour of the tears Jordan shed in mourning.
Needless to say, the Village was protected this time- Not just this time, but for evermore, in honour of the Wild Twins. Furthermore they themselves were no longer treated as outcasts and freaks; but renowned for their prowress and teachings.
Their philosophy of nature taught the Villages, and surrounding Villages, to respect and honour the Wild not abuse it.
To this day we still live in the light of Jorgan the Horse Whisperer and Beastmistress Jordan; our Warhorses are the best in the Land and in the glory days, animals were trained to fight alongside us; not as our inferiors but equal, as one.
(This tale teaches the Arathorian how to treat the Wild; be it animals or fauna. With respect.)
