The time for change comes once again.

By certain traditions, it is believed that Oniga is watched over by

twelve different guardian spirits that take the form of certain creatures.

Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.

Each spirit guards Oniga differently, often bringing different boons to its people during their watch.

After a certain amount of time, the guardian spirit of Oniga rotates with

the next guardian spirit so that the previous animal may rest their weary soul

after their fulfilling their duty of safeguarding Oniga and its people.

Previously, it was the Ox who stood guard. Now it is time for the Tiger to take their place.

Thus a festival will be held in celebration for the Tiger for being the next one to guard Oniga.

The Tiger is believed to give courage, strength and power.

It is said that it is the one to banish things that may bring harm.

(though less strict because it will partake mostly outside the walls)

Preferably adorn traditional wear such as yukata, kimono, qipao, hanfu or a tang suit

if you plan to attend, but they are not necessary at all!

The host of the festival is a person that goes by Karasu, a strange woman that has some connections to Oniga.

There's directions that lead to a place in Oniga near the walls on the bottom, as well as the date of the festival.

(2/18/22 - 5:00 P.M EST)

(The Festival will last through both Friday and Saturday for those that can't make it to the Friday celebration)

(Hopefully this is convenient for everyone and allows a unique RP scenario to be around slightly longer)

(On Saturday it will re-open around the same time at 2/19/22 - 5:00 P.M EST)

(Final note, apologies for missing the Year of the Ox!)
