The Festival of Falling Leaves
A street festival in Kibou that is very important to the people who live and are from here.
History
Founded in honor of a great hero who gave his life to protect what would become Kibou. Yokuzuna Kenshi. He was a Tenjin of the primary temple of Kibou. A divine guardian of the holy ground. He battled a terrible vampire, Sakuna the Blood Wraith. He battled her and her bloodghasts alone after all others fell. She wanted to desecrate the temple and claim the spirits of the fledgling city for her army. He covered his signature Kanabo in sacred seals and fought the dread army. After his weapon broke, he covered his hands in the seals and fought on. Defeating the army and cleansing Sakuna from the land. When the sun rose the next morning, he still stood in a vigilant, defiant stance. Facing outward as if daring any trespassers to test him. When the people emerged from their ruined homes and went to celebrate him, he was already gone and is the only non royalty to be laid to rest in the royal mausoleum.
Autumn was always his favorite time of year, and it was during this time that this occurred. He was not one who would wish for something to be named after him, so it was named after his favorite time of year, not only to honor his deeds, but the man he was.
