Folk Tales of Alem

The Kingdom of Alem has a rich and diverse number of folk tales. The nation's position as an important trading nation at the mouth of the Alem river has resulted in stories and traditions coming from far away. The traditions of Alem are traditionally split into four regions. The Northern Osmir region has heavy influence from peoples across the ocean. The higher literacy rate in the North has allowed these traditions to spread further throughout the nation. The Southern Anatu region also has extensive folklore, often revolving around concepts of Osmirwok oppression. The Eastern and Western deserts also have their own oral traditions, though few of these are written down.
