I think the ability to TELL Stories is primarily a Communications skill,
akin to Oratory, Fast Talk, or Lying Convincingly; and is probably
largely independent of language and story content (although it requires
a resonable level of fluency in a language for effective use).

Now, knowing specific culturally (or otherwise) recognizable content for
the stories is a different matter...Probably a Lore skill modifier of
some sort (Culture, World, etc.).

I'm thinking "None of the above." I handle storytelling as a combination
of racial Lore and either Oratory (the telling of racial epics) or Fast
Talk (making up a story).

The racial Lore can be used as an "enabler" roll, providing bonuses to
the other skill roll depending on the race(s) of the target. Or racial
Lore for different races can be taken into account with the storyteller
having to roll under the lowest skill. This way it's easy to decide if
everyone enjoys the story or only some. Some stories may actually end up
entertaining members of one race at the expense of those of another race!
