Rite of Feriyen

The Rite of Feriyen is the courtship ritual performed by the Ferines in Tales of Legendia.

The Process
The Rite is a simple but important one. When a man wishes to propose to a woman, both will dive into the ocean and the woman will swim away from the man as quickly as she can. The man must chase and catch her, then embrace her under the water. If the surrounding water glows, Nerifes has blessed the relationship and the marriage may take place.

In-Game Marriages
It was Senel Coolidge's ambition to ask Stella Telmes to perform the Rite of Feriyen with him, but her untimely death made this impossible.

At the end of the main game, Senel--weak from his battle with the Raging Nerifes--falls off the Wings of Light into the sea. Shirley Fennes leaps after him and wraps her arms around him, and the sea begins to glow, although their intent was certainly not to perform this rite at that time.
