Ok, not sure if anyone's going to reply, it's kind of been awhile but here it goes. * Legends/Fairy Tale Template:  Name of the Story: The Mad Knight of Mantle

 Place of Origin: Atlas/Mantle

 Summary: In ancient times on the continent of Mantle, the land that would become Atlas was separated into different kingdoms. The Marquis of the northernmost kingdom wished for more control and recruited an army from his fiefdoms, including a peasant boy from a small village. When the Marquis began his war, the boy distinguished himself as a fair and powerful fighter, and soon his distinction (and his preservation of conquered lands) earned the Marquis’ attention and the boy was knighted and awarded a fiefdom. The Knight was a fair lord, but when the enemy retaliated and levelled his land, he went on a rampage across their lands. The devastation threatened the Marquis’ plans and he turned his troops on him. The Knight returned and killed the Marquis, but the chaos that ensued in his wake drew the attention of The Grimm, which almost destroyed the north, only being stopped by an alliance of the north and their former enemies. The Knight’s village was lost in the Grimm’s attack, and in remorse, the Knight killed himself in the village centre.

 Variation(s) in different cultures: The Lost Warrior Boy

 Impact on Remnant: Known by Huntsmen and Huntresses, being a cautionary tale of losing control and taking sides, as well as the ever looming threat of the Grimm. Read by my character (Finnegan Cortez) as he was recovering from his injuries involving his weapon, contributing to his cautionary attitude towards life. Known also by my character of Gwyn Marshal, but the message was lost on him.

Notes: My first myth and one I thought of on a whim, so it might not be fleshed out.
