1. The Headless Horseman is based off of the Dullahann, an irish creature who represents death. 

2. Stories of the Headless Horseman originated hundreds of years ago in Ireland. Since then many different stories have been told. 

3. In some narratives the Headless Horseman carries off the deceased in a black carriage, representing a death in the family. 

4. The Headless Horseman is afraid of gold, but no one knows why. In Legendaria it's because his magic can't affect those protected by gold. 

5. In "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by American author Washington Irving, a man was decapitated by a cannonball in the middle of war and his spirit returns in the form of the Headless Horseman, which we have as a playable character in our Kickstarter Legends for Legendaria.

6. In some stores the Headless Horseman has an axe, in others a flaming jack o'lantern, but the most gruesome is that of a person's spinal column as a whip! 

If you're a fan of the Headless Horseman you can play him in our game Legendaria, which you can learn more about here, or check out at the button below!
