The Story of the Mantle and the Silver Tree by Trowizilla
Summary: “In the youth of the world, Bedaal the Singer strode between mountains, and his singing wove the languages of men and elves, centaurs and goblins, pixies and nixies, the hissing tongue of dragons and the ululation of the weres” Drabble, 839 Words.
Why You Should Care: This is an example of world-building at its finest in fandom. It’s a wizarding creation story, a myth of mortality and the Veil, and the tone of it feels very much in the oral tradition, as a story passed down through generations of wizards to their small children and then to their small children. Really, really neat.
Why You Might Not Care: This is definitely Beedle the Bard territory. It’s one of those little stories that is less about Harry Potter and more about the culture and mythos of the Harry Potter universe. These sorts of things I find incredibly interesting, but you might not.
