'''The Call of | '''The Call of It'slémwé''' is the sacred summons that draws a spirit toward its eternal rest within the divine realm of [[It'slémwé]]. Heard at the moment of death—or in moments of great suffering, clarity, or sacred stillness—it is '''not merely a sound''', but a metaphysical pull experienced as music, memory, love, and light. It is considered by many to be the voice of the [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]] themselves. | ||
