The Ratu Kidul of the southern sea — and Croatia’s Baska tablet

Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.

The story

On the island of Krk in Croatia sits the Baska tablet, an eleventh-century slab carved in Glagolitic, the oldest alphabet of the Slavs, and one of the first documents to name a Croatian king in the Croatian language. The Glagolitic script itself was invented in the 860s by Saints Cyril and Methodius, and this stone is a birth certificate for a written culture. PUBLIC (a copy stands in the church at Jurandvor; the original is in Zagreb).

The ground it haunts

Baska, island of Krk (Croatia). Source: An 11th-century stone that is effectively Croatia’s birth certificate. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
