Shayla Shivanna

Originates from the Anahita Clan of Thalassa.

As a Sea  Guardian of DreamMist Cove she tends and controls the Kamea Kamuda, ensuring the pualini stone and pemba petals on their golden base are constantly in the flow of the healing waters, especially to Borak’s Peak.   Shayla Shivanna is respected and consulted by all Elders and  has deep knowledge of Ways of Anevad and its colours.

Shayla Shivanna committed to remain in the inner sanctum of DreamMist Cove after the Great Battle.  With Drancha, Mhairi and Petfia she directs the flow  of water through land , rock and air.

Shayla Shivanna  wears an atarah (crown) given to her at the Keilila (crowning ceremony) and received the Kantu Kanoa (Blessing of the Crown).

The atarah is similar to those worn by Almida and Pritani.

The flowers symbolise constancy and are known to the creatures as Aiyana Petals. They are connected by strands of pearls representing the wealth of the world and that great things may always be achieved by the humblest of beginnings.

Ruby stones are threaded intermittently as a reminder of  the passion creatures have for each other and their world and the sacrifice they have made for both.

The Kantu Kanoa is invoked only as the crown touches the head and is a bestowing of freedom and contentment in choice.
