Kinda? There's a half sunken city (more German than Italian) with water fey (Necker) and a court of the river king. 😁
But my point isn't that #TheDarkEye has done all of the fairytales and folklore. They haven't. They have some of it. Like a powerful witch with a house on chicken legs.
So adding more is easy. TheDarkEye offers an incredible range in moods, from grim and epic to flimsy and fairylike. And "fairytale like" is something the playerbase enjoys.

A point of distinction: I prefer local legends rather than fairy tales - more "here's a weird thing that happened to me on the way home from the pub" than "a long time ago, in a kingdom far away".
Local legends are tightly tied to the local culture, history, and geography in a way that fairy tales are not.
