Canthan New Year

Canthan New Year is the celebration of the new year, where the people of Cantha prepare and partake in a great feast to honor the particular celestial animal who will watch over them during the coming year.

The lore indicates that if the celestial animal is satisfied with the meal, it will bestow good luck upon the populace for the coming year.

During the Canthan New Year, many activities take place around Shing Jea Monastery. Please see the Canthan New Year 2007 for details.

The Canthan New Year appears to be the starting point of the Canthan Calendar.
