Sasu

Deceased.

Sasu was an important figure of the history of the rebellion. Years ago, she had successfully trapped Commander Kuriruvu and killed his guards in the Black Lands. She fell in love with Kuriruvu as she attempted to convince him to join the rebellion. During one of their meetings, he was betrayed by one of his men and consequently convicted as a rebel sympathizer. This lead to Sasu's execution and his spiritual blinding, torture and eventual escape and conversion to Rebel General Korirava.

- Kiru Viru “Love is our resistance” is a special phrase that Sasu shared only with Kuriruvu (It is alliterative with his name, and is written over and over in his personal journals.)

On the night that Kuriruvu and Sasu meet for that last time, she tells him that she suspects that his men have learned of their forbidden meetings. Kuriruvu doesn't give his dedication easily and makes his complete commitment to her. Their relationship is summarized, from the VuYunu point of view in The Ballad of Sasu and Kuriruvu.

Game design note: The ballad was inspired, in great part by “The Resistance” by Muse:

Muse - Resistance

Is your secret safe tonight?
And are we out of sight?
Or will our world come tumblin' down?
Will they find our hiding place?
Is this our last embrace?
Or will the walls start caving in?

(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it should've been right
Let our hearts ignite
Are we digging a hole?
This is outta control
It could never last
Must erase it fast
But it could've been right
(It could be wrong, could be)

Love is our resistance
They keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down
And hold me, our lips must always be sealed

If we live our life in fear I'll wait a thousand years
Just to see you smile again
Quell your prayers for love and peace
You'll wake the thought police
We can hide the truth inside

(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it should've been right
Let our hearts ignite
Are we digging a hole?
This is outta control
It could never last
Must erase it fast
But it could've been right
(It could be wrong, could be)

Love is our resistance
They keep us apart and won't stop breaking us down
And hold me, our lips must always be sealed

The night has reached its end
We can't pretend, we must run
We must run It's time to run ..
Take us away from here
Protect us from further harm
