Trivia

• The Nexus Blitz map was released with several lore related loading screen tips:
  • Legends say the Canghapi tribe were amphibious vastaya who worshiped the coming together of earth and water.
  • Frogs are a venerated symbol in Ionia. And we've found stone ones rarely jump off cliffs, so that's nice.
  • Lilies symbolized peace and balance to the followers of the temple, while lotuses were associated with enlightenment.
  • Inscribed on a Canghapi shrine is the saying, "Floating blooms do not struggle once they have emerged."
  • The Canghapi rite of passage is said to have involved a trek from the marshes of childhood up the mountain to the temple during he rainy season.
  • Some legends claim the Canghapi left their homeland because they did not trust that the Spirit of Ionia would always be able to provide balance.
  • The beast that live within the temple grounds seem to be the only guardians and caretakers that remain...
  • Written on a Canghapi shrine is the saying, "Rising blooms are rooted in the deep yet look to the sky."
