The Argwillian Myths (Japanese: アーガイル神話, Āgairu Shinwa [lit. "Argyle Mythology"]) are a set of four scrolls found in the Library area where Rashiannu is within the Grenfoel Cathedral. The texts briefly cover the history of the Gods and how the Kingdoms and Runestones came to be. The Argwyllian Myths are only found within Lost Kingdoms II, but texts describing the same events can be found within Lost Kingdoms. Although the scrolls have "myths" in the title, the text within the scrolls is treated as fact within the story of the games.
