Giant Spider Migration

"Does anyone look forward to the migration?" Aùshe asked.   Raga sighed as he answered, "People use too. Some people still come to the Waves to watch the migration."

Manifestation

The migration looks like a horror movie with Giant Spiders and Drider. These spiders come out of caves or burrows. They step quietly on the rocky ground of The Waves. These spiders are on the hunt for love and maybe the odd tourist. The giant spiders are very dangerous and will eat tourists that get too close.   The Giant Spiders walk from any point of the Waves to the other. Once they find a good spot they will start their mating rituals. Drider can be seen watching the migration and they do their best to keep tourists from getting too close. They do this by stepping in front of tourists and then pointing them back to the path. If a tourist refuses to listen one of two things will happen. First, the Drider will forcefully remove the tourist and put them somewhere safe. The second thing that can happen is for the Drider to say something that sounds like, "Spi zo Schettri Tride mo bo." Which seems to ruffly translates to, " May the Spider Queen keep (or save) you." The Drider will then step to one side and let the tourist to go and get themselves killed.

Localization

The migration only happens in the The Waves. The migration happens during the last week of summer and the first week of fall. Going to see the migration used to be a part of the Weaving Preparation festival for the Spider Queen Solsínabh.
