Your first task as a new Islander is to walk barefoot across the Whispering Sands. Don't be concerned that the grains tell stories of ancient secrets or lament the departure of worldly goods.
The real test is to resist the urge to pick them up, for an echo is only an echo when silent. The whispering grains might share more if you listen harder.
Next, you must confront yourself at Mirror Lake. No, it's not actually a lake; it's an existential crisis.
Reflect on the irony of seeking your reflection in a body of water that ironically reflects nothing but your intentions. Splashing is prohibited, as is sanity.
Finally, attend the Choir of Shadows at midnight. Prepare for disappointment as they sing the most dissonant harmonies imaginable.
True Islanders know that the key to joining is to hum off-key until you blend in perfectly. Remember, all tunes are the same when you're in tune with the silence.
In all these rituals, remember: the Echo Isles are not about what is heard, but what must never be overheard. Enjoy your stay and consider your whims of future echoes with solemnity.
