Welcome to the next in an ongoing series of writing prompts in the Worldbuilding community !
I'm aiming to post one of these each Sunday. They aren't a replacement for the excellent daily prompts from @worldbuilding they're just an extra opportunity if you have a writing itch you want to scratch. 馃榾

The prompt this week is - Heroes
Everyone has heroes - every civilisation, ever culture, ever nation and every person. Tell me a story of a hero from your setting !
Who is the hero ? Where did they come from, their origin and background ? What did they do to start their legend ? How did they sustain it ? Are they still alive, or a myth from ancient times ? How much of their legend is true, and how much of it is subsequent embellishment, allegory or downright lies ? How does their nation or civilisation see them, and how is their heroism used or abused by the state ? What happened to them - how did the story end ?
Just to add a bit of spice to things, the two entries I most like (and are linked in comments to this post, so I can find them !) that are posted by midnight (GMT) next Saturday will each get a prize of one Hive SBI.
This link will take you to the FAQ where you can read more about Hive SBI - it's a project I thoroughly support because it gives both the donor and winner a steady trickle of passive income paid out in the form of upvotes on posts.
Guidelines
I stole these guidelines straight from @worldbuilding prompts (I hope that's okay !), I couldn't have written them any better myself....
Some other neat communities for writing that you might want to check out are:
It can be a lot of fun to mix and match our prompts with some of these other community prompts.
