The fact that this song is easily missed, never plays a part in the story, in an area nobody needs to actually visit save for one quick conversation to end a side quest and is purely ambient shows how much love was put into this game. They went all out in trying to sell this world to the players who find themselves in it and by the Sun did it work

I am playing for the first time, and I am amazed by this game.

It was several years ago but I still remember the first time I was exploring the city. Heard these voices off in the distance right as they began singing this in the morning, and was like "WHERE IS THAT COMING FROM??" I eventually found my way into their temple where they're standing. Beautiful view of the sunrise.

"Araman, Amavad, Sadahin, Juwadan, Iriv, Basadid, Khuvadin, Ranan, Nahasis, Marzid, Hivas, Avad." Sometimes even the name Zavarad appears but I'm not sure I've heard it so far..
-The names of the previous king's. Every song to the sun has this lyrics.
@zeldaoot23
Rusc Where did you get this info about previous kings’ names?
This kind of attention to detail is part of what makes Horizon such a great game. Excellent world-building.
@PerovNigma
I like how Avad's name is sung so gloriously at the end.
@MrTehNoms
@Hephen Stawking The names and their accomplishments are in a glyph writing you scan. I can't remember where tho.
@MrTehNoms
...It's almost sort of sad... They don't sing for the mad king. He's to be forgotten.

Rayshaun Preston God, I get chills every time I come back to this song. Sheer brilliance.
@LautaYanzon
I just stand for 10 minutes straight in the middle of the crown and realized how beautiful is this
