Festival of the Moon's Wrath

The Festival of the Moon's Wrath was a winter festival just after the New Year's Day. While the ground was laden with snow Rokugan celebrated the Moon in one day and two nights of complete silence. At sunset on the 7th day of the Month of the Rat, the people of Rokugan ceased talking, and did not say another word until sunrise on the 9th day. This was done to appease the Moon and attempted to avoid his wrath for the coming year. Anyone who spoke during this time was believed to draw the attention of Onnotangu.
