[ here he is, simply the happiest boy in the entire world. and now i have to make something up because my canon is niche so appreciate me
taair has a nice storytelling voice, and he launches into it with ease. ]
Let's see... in Iria, one of the most important symbols of the nation is the convallaria flower. A convallaria grows bountifully in Iria, and large fields of them bloom throughout the spring and summer. They're not very large flowers - in fact, they're small clusters of white, bell shaped flowers all on one stem.
There are a few legends as to where they may have come from. But most commonly, Convallaria flowers are attributed to the first woman who walked the Earth. Supposedly, she lost her very first child not long after he was born - and was so moved to sorrow that she sank to the ground and sobbed so hard the ground shook. The Radiant heard her cries, and They were so moved by her sorrow and grief that they transformed the land so when her tears hit the soil, they formed into convallaria flowers, as to perhaps provide her something comforting in all of her pain.
The flowers brought her comfort in her darkest days - and eventually, the sign of the flowers came true. She bore a child a few years later, and then another, and another. And when that first woman finally passed away, the Radiant took her soul to the stars, where she was united with her first child. The two of them formed a constellation - the stem of the mother, and her small star - her first flower. And as her children grew and had children of their own, and eventually passed on, they joined her and their eldest sibling in the sky, forming the eight-star constellation of the Convallaria.
[ he makes a gesture at the stars above - tracing three stars in a row, and then a few afterwards that aren't there, or where they might be. ]
The convallaria themselves have come to represent motherhood, in Iria - but they also represent a dawn after the darkness. Quite appropriate, don't you think?
