[@ravenDivinity] Oh he didn't actually do that it's the myths that blew it all out of proportion. In truth the nation is a city state kind of thing and was built on a volcano. Mark was able to cause it to erupt and as volcanoes can the layer of lava that erupted over time built a mountain.

Working on getting specific myths and stories right now though. I have a big over arching idea of him going and pledging to an old god of balance/nature who's basic role is to give everything it's rise and fall. Of course humans not liking the falling part stopped worshiping the god and that's why the world is so unstable in Mark's time. He starts with taking back wild lands, and after that he has more specific myths where he is defending certain sites and things as well as those of him in the wilds with those who now follow the old god again. I want this nice dichotomy where to those who aligned with him he is this folk hero who could heal a lame ox with a magic salve and that the nations remember this cold beastmaster that'd arrive under the full moon and behead the king.

It's been harder than expected to get from all my notes to solid writing. Especially when I see how great everyone else has theirs formatted. Mine is always just so plain and ugly...
