Elicellus

Elicellus is a bird native to the southern parts of Terrobis. It is concidered a holy bird in Tuluvianism, due to it's function as a messanger between Naphenoton and humans.

Habitat
The bird is native to the southern parts of Terrobis, and even though it travels and hunts in a wide area, it usually lives in mountainus areas.

Tuluvianism
According to Tuluvianism,Tuluve was told to travel west by a Elicellus. The same bird continued to visit him, and spoke the words of Naphenoton - nine times in total. These times were:
 * 1) Year 0: As the comet Naphidis pass Terrobis, it told Tuluve to travel westwards to found a new empire in the name of Naphenoton. (Symbol: Naphidis)
 * 2) Year 2: Tuluve reach his destination, and is greeted by the bird. It tells him to put the founding stone of Urbamia at the island in the delta of Skilania. (Symbol: A column/pillar)
 * 3) Year 2: Tuluve is told to gather the local tribes, and unite them under his new empire. (Symbol: Thunder/Lightning)
 * 4) Year 2: The bird helps Tuluve settle a tax-question, making the foundation of Skilamrian law.
 * 5) Year 3: A plauge hits the city. Tuluve visits the bird at the mountain Onila Elicellus, where it lived. It gives him urbs, wich founds the Skilamrian medicine.

Becuase of the bird's function as a messanger of Naphenoton it is conscidered holy in Tuluvianism, and often people will prey to Naphenoton through it. It also is a embodyment of the empire, as it is smart, dangerous and at the top of the food-chain - just like The Skilamrilusian Empire sees itself. It is commonly used as a symbol for the empire and the religion, and a golden Elicellus is the coat of arms of the empire.

Domesticated
Esirius IV is said to have met a Elicellus before a battle during The Great Civil War, who told him that he would prevail. Later it became his loyal companion.

In 994, Iremlius VI got himself a Elicellus in a cage, and claimed that it spoke to him.
