Yes, this is Changeling: The Dreaming a lot.

I'm just happy we are getting the Arthurian myth info and Welsh pantheon! Being able to play with the myths will be fun.

You could use this “Legend alternative” to give Fables a different dynamic than Gods have, maybe making them more dependent on humanity and making Fate-Binding more crucial to their existence.
Or not.

I was seriously thinking about make a supplement like this, with "character estereotypes" of fairy tales acting mechanically as Gods (The Great Predator = Big Bad Wolf, The Giant from the Giant and the Tailor, etc.; The Charming Prince = Any story with a no-psycopath prince, actually).
Is it a good idea? Yes. I have the inspiration and necessary basis for this job? Far from it. So, another idea to the fridge.

My hopes for this book would be about not exactly "mythology" as we know, but about actual fairy/folk tales. Grimm brothers, Esop and Lafontaine stuff, Momotaro, even more modern urban legends (Blood Mary, Kuchisake-onna, etc.) and how would they interact with Scion's World. And of course, Arthurian material would be awesome.
Modern interpretations of classic stories like Snow White, Red Hood, Beauty and Beast...
But yes, if any writer could answer at least what this book is about would be great too.

I kind of hope it covers stuff like picking up the mantles of old heroes, that or just the various legends of heroes who have "will return in the time of greatest need" as part of their legend. Kind of curious on the latter since I'm only familiar with two or three and I would enjoy seeing more.

I'm hoping there might be a small bit about the idea of the Tudor dynasty being a brief Welsh resurgence to prominence in Britain.

I say two things here.
first, I REALLY HOPE this book includes the Welsh Pantheon. With the Arthurian Lore as is, i also want the Welsh Pantheon. I've got one character who is ready to be written up as an arthur, possibly other knights, but i'd like to see the rest of the pantheon too.
second, on the topic of competing myths and legends, id suggest looking at another of Kieron Gillen's works (much like the ones that helped inspire scion 2e's design initially), Once and Future.
It's first arc is all arthurian legend, and it still has ties to it even now.
