Lament for Nairasho

"Lament for Nairasho" was a song written by Athan Centurion Kylaea Porén as a tribute to her sister Nairasho, who was captured and killed by the Reawakened during the Nightmare War. Kylaea and her brother Malyri were captured along with Nairasho, but escaped confinement. They were unable break back in and rescue Nairasho before she was killed by her interrogators. Kylaea, a poet in her spare time, wrote the words of the song as a way of expressing her grief.

Knowing her voice was unpleasant to the ears of most non-Athan sentients, Kylaea asked her sister Jira Zaffrod to record a performance of the song instead. Touched by the chance to honor her sister, Jira did so, and the song was offered as a gift to Nairasho's family on Baes.

When she performed at the Samayus Palace of Opera in 153 ABY, Jira included "Lament for Nairasho" among the works she sang.
