Trivia

• As with all the Etchings, Etching: Jökulhlaup is related to a real life phenomenon, Jökulhlaup; Originally describing a glacial outburst flood that occurs in Iceland, but now describes any large and abrupt release of water from subglacial or proglacial lakes or reservoir.
• This Etching has New Krytan text in its symbol that contains the following:
  • Inner Ring: Aren't you tired? Close your eyes and feel them wash over you.
  • Middle Ring: It's not silent, listen closely shape shifters it can't hurt can it
  • Outer Ring: Swirling stars floating in the water so delicate yet strong
  • Notably, the outer ring seems to reference a quotation from Soo-Won's Tail, while the middle ring contains part of a quotation from Jormag's Flight.
