Brugarian Mythology

The Brugarian culture is rich with mythology pertaining to the ancient gerenuks and traditions carried out even in modern Brugarian culture

The Fall of Pangea
Early writings of the Gerenuks make several references to the paradise of Pangea. The original Gerenuks were gifted with extraordinary speed and would race across the vast plains of Pangea. As time went on, they created a single path. We know it as "Around the World in 80 Days" but the original race was "Around the World in 80 Hours" by the Gerenuks. As the race continued year after year, the path was dug deeper and deeper into the ground until one fatefutl day when the Elder Gerenuk fell and his head wedged into the ground causing a chain reacting fissure along the the cross continental path. The fissure split Pangea into 7 distinct land mass we have today.

The Origin of the Neck-tie
As all of you know, the Gerenuk is known for its long neck. A gerenuk's family is of high importance in Brugarian culture. As one Gerenuk was getting his family ready for the weekly worship, his two children ran into each other, twis



ting their necks into a knot. Angry with his children and inspired by the idea, the Gerenuk father made his two children (with

their knecks still twisted) walk infront of him, their heads at the level of his neck. The necktie mythology has withstood the test of time, although, their necktie today is called the bowtie. Brugarians now where bowties to any formal gatherings, and normal ties are generally frowned upon or even considered offensive depending on which area of Brugaria you visit.

"The Giggerenuk"
Ancient Brugarian text make several references to a "Giggerenuk". A single gerenuk is typically between 3 and 3.5 ft tall.

The Giggerenuk was said to be 8.75 ft tall. It lived prominently within the culture for 37



years, 3 times the normal life span of any Gerenuk. It came as a savior to the heard of gerenuk as the low fruit had all been taken by savage wharthogs. The Giggerenuk was able to reach the higher hanging fruit to feed for the rest of the gerenuk. Eventually the Giggerenuk disappeared into the wild, but not before teach the gerenuk the ability to stand on it hind legs in order to reach higher fruit. The Giggerenuk was said to have been the link between the gerenuks and giraffes.
