Noted for being viciously territorial, even against it's young, the Common Kingfisher was often used in the HLE as an allegory for the coastal urbanites of the Kingdom of Dericania. The concept of overseas trade was lost on the landed ignoramuses of the "inner kingdom". They could only comprehend the practice based on what they obversed in every day life, and the expelling of offspring by the Common Kingfisher seemed to match the pattern witnessed in the coastal towns and cities.
When the coastal states were united under the banner of Burgundie the slanderous connotation had faded and the proud nature and vicious defense of it's territory favored the national narrative of the formation of the new nation it became the national bird.

In Metzetta, Zelkova serrata has been considered a symbol of protection for villages since ancient times, and can still be found planted at central points in cities, towns and villages around the country. The trees often stand next to small pavilions, serving both as shaded informal gathering points, and spaces for traditional rituals and ceremonies involving prayer and offerings to the tree. The oldest of these trees are estimated to be in excess of 1,000 years in age, and are protected as natural monuments. In 2013, a project was announced by the Emperor's Gardens to clone the zelkova trees that are identified as natural monuments, so their lineage will not be lost in case of disaster or death due to age.
The Green Knight has been a well-known figure of Yonderian folklore since the crusades in the mid-to-late-15th century but is likely to be based on an older Gothic figure. The Green Knight is the sacred protector of Yonderre, and his spirit-essence is intertwined with the land and the Lady of the Lake. Stories about the Green Knight enjoyed a renaissance during the 19th century Yonderian Golden Age where he became a unifying figure for Yonderian Goths and Burgs alike.
