[Heliotrope] Tiny Skeleton
The Ogre of the Northtrope bridge was so feirce that by and large everyone paid his toll. The few that didn't ran away. Northtrope was so remote, that serious knights or military forces never really felt it worth the trouble to dislodge him. Aside from his unusual size or peculiar taste for porceline, there is little interesting to be said about him, except for the small skeleton he had glued to his club.
This skeleton was never dislodged until fifty years after the Ogre was finally found to have died from natural causes. At first, folks thought it might be a small Goblin or Elf, but a closer examination found it to be a tiny human. Magical dating placed the figure squarely in the time of legends, and more magic still revealed it to be none other than the near mythical Thumbalina herself.
None is sure how this queen had her still unknown grave exumed, perhaps the brute found it or simply came upon it after the fact. What is known is that the skeleton is hers and is resting in an unmarked grave in Vine City to protect her identity. Many wizards have already tried to find it; fortunately to no avail. It is for the best since by all accounts she is one of the few mythic figures who does not have a dark mirror that hints that all the great tales might not be true. She lived her life with nobility and grace given the circumstances that she had.
As for the ogre, his bones still lay where they rested next to the bridge he loved.

Scene: Andrasda coughs. Then she coughs again and spiders begin to drop from her mouth. At first there is one and then another in her hand. Then she begins to cough more.
Hobbes: (Shouting) What are you waiting for?!

Vampires in Terra
I have read several books on the Occult, of course, so the subject of Vampirism has come up. There are a lot of different kinds, but it isn't of the Twilight variety or the Interview with a Vampire either. Its essentially a curse, inflicted due to prayer or some supernatural entity. Dracula was made a vampire due to the opposing prayers of all the Turks he killed. That is the primary reason Terra is not inflicted with hoards of vampires....for someone to become one, they have to metaphorically deserve it. It isn't some supernatural disease one can catch just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Though I suppose if one counts 'death' as a supernatural disease, then you can easily catch it.
Fiction from Earth often finds Vampires of a torn morality, who grow to resent their curse and work to redeem themselves. I've seen such creatures in other worlds, but not in Terra. To be clear, there is not, so far as I know, some supernatural or demonic force that prevents them from doing good; they're just assholes. While our politicians are not perfect, they are practically saints compared to the Earth variety.
On Terra, we are stories wheras on Earth you tell them. That means our highs are very high and our lows are very low. Those who choose to be assholes or villains tend to be very much of that cloth and those who are complicated are still much clearer in tone when doing dire deeds. But....
Some of the people you have there...I must say on the AGGREGATE make our vampires look tame by comparison. A vampire in Terra might tear through an entire orphanage in a rural town to sate their blood lust before going to sleep for another century. Some of your population will sooner let millions suffer simply because it isn't their problem. Maybe our heroes are just better at moving people toward compassion but I do admit, I'm glad I live here.
The stories there are amazing. I live to see them which is why I find myself spending more and more time every day floating amongst your population, listening for anything I can, real or otherwise. But I have to wonder if the reason we write so few is because the quality of our lives is better and the reason you write so much is because...nearly anywhere else is better than where you are. But I'm biased I suppose.
