To this violet sands
The song refer to a mythical episode in Illarin culture, the fight of Erkhyn. It supposedly happened in the 6th century B.F., when the Illarin still inhabited only the Ancestors' Island. In this story, the Destroyer, summomed by a Hadakin wizard, brings an unbearable destruction to their villages. Before the damage is fully completed, however, Erkhyn appears and fights against the monster. With great skill and determination, the hero is victorious, bringing peace to the Illarin once again. In gratitude to that act, the Illarin give Erkhyn their island and sail towards the continent, reaching Violet Bay in Talung's east coast. However, a Illarin named Nala decided to stay with Erkhyn in the island, singing for him every night the most beautiful songs of her people. This song is singed collectively every year during the Flowered Feast, even after the Discovery. The Illarin like to keep their people's traditions alive, although they are not guided by them in the same way anymore. It's much more a matter of respect to their people's memories.
