Lights of Carracosta Myth in Superia | World Anvil

Lights of Carracosta

This tale has kept on changing since it was first introduced in the 18th century. The song refers to the four towers that existed alongside the shore of Carracosta, flaking the First Lighthouse, and the Lighthouse itself. An important influence for its use was the Tutumayre song Bells Along the Shore.   While both are used to teach children of the emergency warnings often related to the shores of a city, Bells Along the Shore is actually a reference to the warning bells on Tutumayre's ports specifically Carparta, port which was the main port and capital of Tutumayre. Historians believe that the decision of placing warning towers along the shore of Carracosta was influenced either by Carpata or the original children's rhyme.

Summary

The song begins with a small rhyme asking the listener to pay attention to shores of Carracosta and the lighthouse, explaining that as long as the lights are bright there is nothing to fear.   Later the song recites the color and rhythm of the Lighthouse's light and nearby towers. It also explains each of their meanings, making reference to historical moments in Carracosta's history.   The last part follows the chorus, stating that as long as the lights are bright there is nothing to fear. However, when the Lighthouse and all towers goes dark the listener should stop and pray, for whatever comes next is sure to be a night never forgotten.

Historical Basis

Each section of the song talks of a different moment in Carracosta history between the late-16th and early-18th century. Such as the arrival of Tutumayre's Royalty and other refugees during the 17th century war against the Liber Empire, when the lightohuse lights was a vibrant yellow.   They also explain the procedures for mourning of public figures, when light dims and turns dark green. Bright red is used during battles and attacks against Carracosta, such as the Machinist plan for the Ultimate Voyage. Light blue means the return of troops and reception of allies.   As the song became popular, the color pattern described was adapted as a language for emergency services. Heroes and villains native to Carracosta and region also integrate the color relations to their uniforms.   An alternated dark red and gold was used during the First and Second World Campaign, which the song also came to include in later iterations, relating the colors to the fighting spirit of the Emberlee and the justice and honor they represented to the world.
