[The Nameless Pirate]

Thanks for sharing this, especially the translation of The Feathered Serpent.

That book especially interested me because of TFS, who appears in a Sea Dogs game. (Won't tell you which one.)

And the Naglfar is also very interesting to me, and it appears in the Witcher.

Huh? But it's a real-world myth.
Thought The Witcher was a different world?

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

True, but there are a few "real" European myths in there.

Many monsters are also heavily influenced by Slavic folklore, for example the Leshen/Leshy.

The Norse goddess Freya also is worshiped in the Witcher world, in Skellige to be precise.

The Wild Hunt is also a European myth.

There are many more parallels, but they are to many to list now.
