[You can't just make up stuff like this on a dime, now can you?]

Mundys. Mundys say that. Long story short, the homelands wasn't working out for us fables. Invasions and war tends to have that effect. Once we ended up in the mundy world - that'd be yours, we found out that everything we had done back in our world... had been spread as fairy tables, fables, and legends. Those of us who are really popular are harder to kill. Can't say I know why it works that way, but I don't look a day over twenty-five after five hundred years.
