Heritage myths
Before history was written down, the people of Valdoria passed their values through stories. These myths were told to teach courage, justice, and unity and to remind each generation where their freedom began.
​
From magical creatures to hidden objects, Valdoria’s legends reflect the heart of the nation. They are not just stories from the past, but lessons that still guide the people today.
The Perfumed Unicorn & the Wishing Well
Long before Valdoria became a free nation, its people believed in a magical wishing well hidden deep in the mountains. It was said that the well could grant one true wish, but only to those who wished with courage and a pure heart.
​
According to legend, the well awakened the Perfumed Unicorn, a rare and gentle creature whose presence filled the air with the scent of flowers and hope. Wherever the unicorn walked, fear disappeared and people found the strength to speak, dream, and stand together.
​
This myth is more than a story. It represents the beginning of Valdoria’s awakening and reminds us that freedom always starts with hope, belief, and the courage to wish for a better future.
The ​Solara Lamp
Before Valdoria became a free nation, the quiet River Eldora was home to Lyria, a gentle but lonely water nymph. Feared by humans and forgotten by the world above, she watched from the water as people passed by in bright colors, symbols of courage, hope, and unity she longed to share.
​
One night, Lyria discovered a glowing lamp hidden beneath the river’s surface. A warm voice spoke from within, telling her that the lamp would guide those brave enough to fight for freedom.
​
Years later, a group of exhausted rebels reached the river. Though weak, they were united. Seeing their courage, Lyria rose from the water and gifted them the lamp. When it was lit, it revealed the golden Solara fruit, giving the rebels strength and hope to continue their journey.
​
This moment became part of Valdoria’s foundation. To honor it, the people bake Solara Cake every year on March 3rd, celebrating freedom, unity, and new beginnings.
​
Legend says the Solara Lamp still rests beneath River Eldora and that Lyria continues to watch over Valdoria, no longer alone, but protected by the unity of its people.
The Legend of the Scales of Justice
High in the mountains, long before Valdoria was free, there stood a hidden temple. Inside it rested the Scales of Justice, a magical relic said to weigh the true hearts of those who sought power.
​
When a cruel ruler learned of the Scales, he sent his soldiers to claim them. A humble healer tried to protect the temple, believing justice should never serve tyranny. He was killed for his courage — but his sacrifice did not go unnoticed.
​
The Scales revived him as a peaceful guardian, bound not by hunger or violence, but by a promise to protect justice. For many years, the guardian watched over the temple, allowing only those with pure intentions to enter.
​
During Valdoria’s fight for freedom, a young girl found the hidden path to the temple. The guardian sensed her honesty and let her approach the Scales. When she touched them, they chose justice over power, and the magic was finally released.
​
The guardian was freed, and the temple vanished into the mountains.
​
To this day, Valdorians believe that true freedom can only exist where justice, courage, and a pure heart guide the path forward.
