| + | To commemorate Ilia's birth, a great | ||
| + | |||
| + | many people gave the newborn's | ||
| + | |||
| + | family celebratory gifts. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Among those people was a person | ||
| + | |||
| + | who did not meet the infant goddess, | ||
| + | |||
| + | but instead placed their gift on a tree | ||
| + | |||
| + | in front of her home before departing. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | According to stories handed down | ||
| + | |||
| + | over the long years, this person was | ||
| + | |||
| + | the incarnation of the Holywyrm | ||
| + | |||
| + | Elysium. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Three centuries later, the benevolent | ||
| + | |||
| + | king of a certain land took it upon | ||
| + | |||
| + | himself to mimic the particulars of | ||
| + | |||
| + | this tale. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | He adorned himself with reindeer | ||
| + | |||
| + | horns and dressed like Elysium, then | ||
| + | |||
| + | traveled his kingdom placing gifts | ||
| + | |||
| + | beneath the eaves of homes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | His people delighted in these gifts, | ||
| + | |||
| + | and carried on the practice down | ||
| + | |||
| + | through the generations. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | This gift-giver is now known as the | ||
| + | |||
| + | symbol of Dragonyule, Saint Starfall. | ||
