Storytelling..What is storytelling? The first thing that comes into mind is The Stone Ages. Ya know, sitting by a fire, and long before writing was a thing and the best way to pass on anything (legends, fables, or to just tell stories in the down time). Although written language had yet to be a thing, through stories, essentially anything could be passed on through generations because spoken language can never cease to exist. Storytelling brings people together to form communities, especially if the storyteller has can bring them together as one. Storytelling has no one purpose but the one that the storyteller intends for it to have. While that can be anything from entertaining to teaching someone a lesson, over many generations it has yet to become useless. Instead, we have only began to write them down.
