Fate Legends: Middle Eastern Myths From the introduction: A land of dust and desert and blood. Known for war, for the resources and for how the other lands now fight over it or within it. But there was once a time when this land was the source of it all. The source of heroes and monsters, of myth and legend, of both the great men that shine in the light and the little monsters that skulk in the dark. The Middle East has much to offer in the times of myth, much of which you will come to see.
