Radic mythology is the collection of myths belonging to the Radic people, inherited from the polytheistic traditions of Hirdic mythology. It is fundamentally related to Riyanic mythology, although how these mythologies are understood and portrayed is quite different in their respective cultures.

Differences from Riyanic mythology

Radic mythology is distinct from Riyanic mythology through its depiction of relations between the deities, whereas in Riyanic, such relations bear little significance. Noteworthy is also the existence of the primordial god Vow and primordial goddess Dishe, which are not present in Riyanic belief.

Other mythological creatures

The mythological creatures in Radic mythology are not necessarily inherited from Hirdic belief, but are present in pan-Radic belief. Many of these creatures are fabled reptilian beasts, particularly dragons, which were believed to have existed in the world of the gods (the Prime World, Radestrian Stellyșta). A concrete example of a specific creature is the Skrakar (Ardian kraka, Radestrian skrakár), a two-headed sea creature depicted on the Radestrian flag and known for being slain by the gods themselves.
