Concept
- Several western bluebirds (Sialia mexicana) are present in Nightingale's Elite 2 skin.
Outfit(s)
- The passage on Nightingale's left side in the background of an elegy is paraphrased from parts of the final paragraph of the novel Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy:
“ And they are dancing, the board floor slamming under the jackboots and the fiddlers grinning hideously over their canted pieces. Towering over them all is the judge and he is naked dancing, his small feet lively and quick and now in doubletime and bowing to the ladies, huge and pale and hairless, like an enormous infant. He never sleeps, he says. He says he'll never die. He bows to the fiddlers and sashays backwards and throws back his head and laughs deep in his throat and he is a great favorite, the judge. He wafts his hat and the lunar dome of his skull passes palely under the lamps and he swings about and takes possession of one of the fiddles and he pirouettes and makes a pass, two passes, dancing and fiddling all at once. His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die. ” - Iakhu in Iakhu of Flows means "sunlight" or "radiance" in Ancient Egyptian (jꜣḫw); hence, the outfit's name means "Radiance of (the) Flows".
- During the release of Path of Life in the Global server, Iakhu of Flows can be previewed in advance in Nightingale's Outfit gallery.
