A song about the great avri heroine Taijin, many stories have been passed down (and subsequently collected by minstrels of other races) about her many adventures. Together, her adventures create what is known as the Taijin Cycle, which is required learning for any avri--an avri will be more than happy to tell you about Taijin upon request. With over a thousand (and counting) tales known, and with new tales being written and discovered every day, it is very unlikely, if not impossible, to read or perform the whole cycle in one sitting!
This particular episode tells the story of how Taijin escaped from a notorious prison where it was said no one could escape from (she was put in there because that region's inhabitants had never seen an avri before, and believed her to be a monster.) How long it takes for her to break free and how she does it differs from teller to teller.
Losi has long admired Taijin for her courage, and will happily tell a Taijin tale on request--she has read and told about 300 tales, and has even written a few contributions to the cycle.
