Mythology
According to ancient mythology, Sherriva, the youngest and most beautiful daughter of Lyro, the god of reason and wisdom, was stolen by Rolick, the god of war, conquest, and bloodlust to serve as an example to mortals. Sherriva, being the offspring of the god of wisdom, managed to outsmart her captor and escaped. Lyro commissioned the great mortal hunter Yurba to find her, but she was never seen again. Lyro raised Yurba to the heavens so he could continue his search for eternity; he was given a spot with the most visibility.
Yurba became an important figure in nautical navigation, it is said, because Siser, the god of the sea, instructed sailors to use Yurba to navigate. He viewed Yurba as a constant reminder of failure.
