Sacred Flower of Hyssylia

In the religion of the serpentine Rebeyr, the Sacred Flower of Hyssylia was a primordial divine entity which had created the universe. According to Rebeyr tradition, before time began, the Sacred Flower had germinated and come into bloom. When it bloomed fully, it gave off four great dewdrops. The first dewdrop became the universe. The second was the Rebeyr's galaxy. The third dewdrop was the Rebeyr sun, Sair, while the last was their eponymous homeworld.

Belief in the Sacred Flower of Hyssylia, and the ever-shrinking focus of its four great dewdrops, centered Rebeyr religious belief around the Rebeyr themselves and their primacy in the galaxy. Even when they became aware of other sentient life, the Rebeyr continued to consider themselves a race set apart—and above—from others.

This largely changed when Sair was incorporated into the Golden Empire. Humbled by the power and majesty of the Empire's Queen, Rin Sakaros, Rebeyr clerics decreed that she was a fifth dewdrop from the Sacred Flower of Hyssylia, narrowing focus again to a single individual whom the Rebeyr felt was destined and divinely ordained to lead them. "Glistening Dewdrop of the Sacred Flower of Hyssylia" became one of Rin's regnal titles.
