What if I wasn't Fabled? I really wonder what will my prefix be in that case.

I'm assuming either Honourable or Noble.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Thanks, now I need a change of pants.

Also, Mythic feels very dirty. Anyone else feel extremely dirty when they got Mythic?

A lot of people asked, and then a lot of other people said, "If so, then it does has very little if not, none."
