OK, the idea is simple.
There are so many people on abandonia from all over the world, that I'm sure everybody has a story, a legend, or just a silly superstition they's like to share and we'd all learn more about other cultures in the process. So here goes: I'm from Slovenia, and we have a really wierd legend about our "national hero" called Kral Matjaz. The story says he was a good king, who fought off Turks and brought eternal freedom to our land. Then he went to sleep in a cave and when his beard will grow so long it will run around him for seven times, he'll wake up and correct all the wrongs, that will happen in between. OK, but here's the historical fact: this was actually Matias Korvin (a real Hungarian king) who really fought the Turks but lost. He forced Slovenes to pay taxes to him even though he never was a sovregin of any of the teritories that are now a part of Slovenia. Who's next? Wanna hear legends!!! |
