Heavensturn
Heavensturn is an annual holiday based on real life Japanese New Year celebrations.
In-game, this generally includes depictions of animals from the zodiac, decorations such as kagami mochi, and an NPC offering omikuji (randomized fortunes on paper strips).
Lore
“Heavensturn marks the start of a new year, when the Twelve select one among them to keep vigil over the realm during the next passing of the twelve moons. The Far East maintains a similar custom—yet in their legends, one from among twelve animals is instead chosen to serve as the Far Eastern gods' intermediary.
In recent years, it has become Heavensturn tradition to see Eorzea visited by a Hingan delegation, a bugyo donning a helmet in the likeness of the year's totemic animal at its fore. Much to the delight of commoners and adventurers alike, these festive visitors shower revelers with rice cakes, draw the willing into delightful dances, and bring East closer to West, if only in spirit.
