Snowbic Mythology

== Snowbic Mythology ==
Snowbul being one of the oldest nations on Schlung has certainly brought upon it a lot of strange and wild myths across the country. 
Snowbic myths tend to come from a mix between Nordic and Chinese mythology, along with Christian, Buddhist, and Jewish beliefs. Infused with these are an underlying theme of the cold or snow, as the world around them was constantly frigid and filled with snow. These myths stem also around staying close to civilization, as outside of the communities were unknown and dangerous. The number of beliefs early and modern settlers have are in the thousands, though this list will only have the most popular or strange
=== ϻletna ===
The ϻletna is a beast that is said to wander the region of Snowbul called Av Øtqjuq Ͷhelμa, or The White Hell in English. It's described as a large serpentine dragon, much like a Chinese dragon. It has no top jaw, so its top teeth hang from the creatures skull. Its lower jaw is massive, and is able to swallow a human whole, though its said to enjoy ripping body parts off individually before eating its prey. The beast is all white, except for its jaw, which is bright red. Its said that you can see it easily far away, as its over 200 feet long, 4 meters tall, and moves around awkwardly. 
The creature is said to have incredibly sharp eyesight and hearing, and will spot you from miles away. With the flat surface of the region it resides in, its said that both you and the ϻletna will see each other at the same time.
The ϻletna is incredibly hostile, and has a taste only for human flesh. While it walks slowly and awkwardly, it can gain impossible speed when it sees a human, and once it sees you there's nothing you can do but run and hide. The beast has a reputation of destroying only human life, and will actively avoid buildings and other animals. The creature does not sleep, and gains energy from consumption exclusively. During a whiteout storm, its eyesight is brought down to only 20 meters in front of it, while a humans is about 3 inches. In the end, its best to not go out to Av Øtqjuq Ͷhelμa in the first place
=== Ҡuqmͷ ===
The Ҡuqmͷ is a beast with the body of a furless bear, the head of a Nian and a giant horn along with massively sized teeth. It looked painted, as it had many lines that decorated it. First described in the Chinese-Snowbic community of Xuehaian, it ravaged the village, eating children alive, destroying houses, and mauling civilians. At the end of each attack, it said the date of its next attack, but always came either a day late or early. After each attack, the village peoples logged whether the date was a day earlier or later, and found that it followed a schedule. Knowing this, the village peoples all came together one night, and right as the beast attacked, every villager at once stabbed, sliced, and hammered the beast, killing it.
Before the creature died, it said that it would be back in 100 years. We don't know when the beast was slain.
