Cantus Sai
Host High Prince Yuuhi, Sanctuary
Year 366
Location Tekorva

Cantus Sai was a cultural festival held in Tekorva in 366. It was here that the peace treaty was signed to end the Great Tellurian War.

Festival of 366[]

Despite, or possibly because of, the ill-feeling towards Sanctuary following its failure to support the Nightmare Bond in the Great Tellurian War, High Prince Yuuhi decided to open the traditional Yorukunin Cantus Sai (or 'Song of the Soul) to the rulers of Telluris. During the event, Kynvessa Varinel returned and confronted High Prince Yuuhi with the twins Ameneschi and Kuramkesh, which he recognised as his own without hesitation. As far as historians can determine, Yuuhi never learned why Kynvessa disappeared nor whether Yuuhi and Kynvessa stayed by each others' side.

During Cantus Sai, High Prince Yuuhi announced the words, 'Tathku emeis tsu Ishkoi'es wo emeis tha anainven Sanctum.' which roughly translates to 'We shall leave to a place where we may finally find Sanctuary.' before the end of the hall behind the dais upon which he stood exploded.

It is said the now Thorn Queen Kynvessa's voice could be heard over the commotion that followed singing the words, 'Continue, Artist; Mad are we or blind are you?; Reverentia' in Common between verses in the language of Heartwaste. Though a precise translation was never uncovered, it is known she sang for her family who died at the hands of Lilium, the Archon of Shadows so that She may become powerful enough to do what She must as a Guardian of Heartwaste before the Archon was brutally murdered. Who murdered Lilium is unknown as this section of the song was never recovered.

After the smoke had died it was discovered that the majority of the Yorukunin Aristocracy, High Prince Yuuhi and Thorn Queen Kynvessa Varinel had disappeared.
