Ancient Kalean mythology is as rich and detailed as it is utterly bloody, gruesome and dark. Not taking sensitivity to the reader in mind, ancient Kalean storytellers were heavily influenced by the dismal, miserable lives they lived and showed little interest in the lives of their heroes being any different. | |||
''“And so Ithagabaar returned to King Sithedenia with the head of the killiko in hand and upon it’s presentation to the royal court, Sithedenia had Ithagabaar executed because he might have challenged Sithedenia’s reign if it was learned that Sithedenia himself had not killed the Killiko that terrorized his kingdom.”'' | |||
-Book 10, Final Verse of the Ithagabarthia, (Roughly) translated by Commander Patrice Raleigh, Starfleet Anthropologist. | |||
Though the Kaleans are still not known for their sensitivity, it is more customary to tell stories surrounding the overthrow of the Plutocracy and the heroism of the common people that finally broke the cycle of Kalean oppression. Kalean versions of ‘bedtime stories’ are tales of the exploits of these common born heroes or (more commonly) tales of famous Kalean scientists who accomplished much in their lifetime and different ancestors or relatives who also gained high praise for their studies in their respective fields. | |||
