Before the written word, knowledge was passed on in stories. Myths, folktales, and all the rest are entertaining, yes.
However, in all old tales there is a kernel of wisdom, and with wisdom comes power. Power that can be accessed
through the impression these stories have left in the primal forces of reality. The purpose of the Akashic Tales line is
to take lore, fairy tales, and legends from around the world and extrapolate them into a form that can be wielded by
players and GMs alike. All the while spreading a little knowledge about the origins of these bits of human culture
and imagination.
This particular entry, “Hallow Icons”, draws upon the ghost and monsters that that walk the world and haunt our
dreams when the veil between the mortal world and the hereafter grows thin. Inspiration is borrowed from a
number of different sources and the stories, tropes, and ideas that have grown from them.
Calavera: This word is Spanish for skull. This word is also used to refer to the decorated sugar or clay skulls that are
associated with the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos).
