No those stories are real. Passed down for generations about how the Lurkins of yore painted themselves blue and fought the Romans so hard it took Hadrian’s wall to stop them.
Moral of the story: Build that wall!

"Moral of the story: Build that wall!" Roman history begins with a wall, and an abject lesson that walls are only as good as the military force there to defend it.
As indeed they found again centuries later once the army withdrew from Britain.
