I think I made a mistake by writing folklore into my fantasy world's history.

Hey guys,<br><br>I am working on the folklore for my fantasy world and I wanted to do folklore that could just work in one specific region of a world but then I realized that this folklore was so unique and beautiful that I ended up writing it into the world's history and now I think I'll just have to do the folklore again from scratch...<br><br>Perhaps I am a perfectionist, but I just can't imagine a folk tale from one region being the real and true events of the world. I really want my world's history and folklore to not match up at least a little.<br><br>Is this normal? Is this what normally happens? How does one create a history and folklore that don't match up completely?<br><br>What do you think about this? Is this a bad thing?<br><br>Thanks for reading!
