Princess
You may have noticed a dog outside of the Akiba Tower. His name is Hachiko, and he has become a symbol for loyalty here on Yokai Isle. Hachiko was once owned by a wise teacher, who stayed in the tower. Every day Hachiko would greet his master at the door of the hotel until, one day, his master did not return from teaching.
More
Sadly Hachiko's master had passed away while at work but every day, at the same time Hachiko comes out to see if his master will return. Eventually the people of the town began bringing him food and treats.More
Hachiko still waits for his master's return but he now knows that every citizen of Akiba is his friend, and is always happy to greet new friends. He became such loved and respected symbol for loyalty that my father, Emperor Daisho, changed the hotel into a barracks for his most loyal ninja and samurai warriors and changed the name to Hachiko Tower!

Happy New Year, Hero! I am so GLAD it is the Year of the Boar, aren't you? My father always felt a kinship with them -- they are courageous and determined creatures, and very excited about about the duties they take on. Gōng zhū, renowned warrior and Guardian of the most honorable boars of Yokai Isle has come to give you a demonstration of the Boar's courage and strength in battle. Please, head to the east and meet me in the woods. I could really use your help!
Party?
The entire town is in the midst of our Yokai New Year celebrations. We also have a visitor. A famous warrior, one who personifies the Year of the Dog. Gou Zhu is always up for a combat exhibition; that's HIS way of celebrating.

Greetings, <Hero>! You are just in time to help us decorate for the Star Festival. I couldn't wish for a better person to help me.
Star Festival?
Every year, we celebrate the star-crossed gods, the Weaver Princess and the CowHerd Prince. After allowing their marriage, the Sky King grew angry with how much his daughter loved the CowHerd Prince. Once a year, they are allowed to meet, IF the Sky King approves… It is a festival for wishes and hoping your dreams will come true. And this year, I will make sure they do!
Why This Year?
I feel very close to the Weaver Princess. She and I are much alike, I think. I want to help her… and if I can succeed in that, it will bode well for the coming year. A sign that all will be well, and that my home and people will flourish, like her love.
Star Festival Legend
LEGEND OF TANABATA
This is the tale of two stars, Altair and Vega, and the gods who represent them. The Weaving Princess is the daughter of the Sky King. She wove many beautiful garments for all of the Celestial Gods, but was so busy with her tasks that she had no time for love. She grew sad, and her father sought to make her happy. He arranged a marriage for her with the Cowherd Prince, who lived on the other side of the River of Stars.
The two were very happy… so happy, that the Weaving Princess grew neglectful, and many months passed where she did not weave a single length of cloth. Her father grew angry at this, and brought her back to his side of the River of Stars, where the Cowherd Prince could not reach her.
The Sky King only allows them to meet on 7th night of the 7th month. And only if she has not neglected her weaving. If she has been a dutiful daughter, she is able to ride the moon across the River of Stars to spend a single night her the Prince. If her father is displeased with the Weaving Princess, he brings rain, which causes the river to rise, preventing her from crossing. If she is lucky, though, her cries will call flocks of magpies, which form a bridge to help her cross the river and see her love.
After completing the 'Festival of Stars' quest:
Princess
While you were hanging decorations, a malicious wind spirit came and scattered MY wishes for Orohime's happiness. The spirit was foolish, and full of hot air. It gloated, telling me how far away one of the wishes was sent: DragonRune Hall. If we can move fast enough to recover them, we CAN still help.

It was so kind of Sora to Hoshi to help us. And the enchanted paper she wrote on will make beautiful cranes.

But… if we do not recover my wishes, the bad luck it would bring could ruin the ceremony and prevent the Princess and Prince from meeting. We must recover them!

Happy New Year, Hero! But I am afraid that this is not the time to celebrate. A chaorrupted spirit has put the Four Creatures of thr World in grave danger! The Chinese New Year cannot be celebrated if our beloved Creatures are not a part of it. Won't you help save them?Talk
Long ago, an ancient beast called the Nian plagued the isle of Yokai. The Nian would wreak havoc across the lands, destroying everything in its wake. My ancestors then discovered that the Nian was afraid of the color red, which is why Akiba is adorned with crimson. Firecrackers also frightened the Nian.The Chinese New Year celebration eventually scared the Nian away and it never came to Akiba ever again. The Nian was eventually defeated by a great warrior, but we still celebrate the Chinese New Year to kkep evil spirits at bay. However… it appears that the spirit of the Nian lives on!
The Nian spirit has chaorrupted the sacred Four Creatures of the World. Each Creature--The Black Tortoise, White Tiger, Red Bird, and Blue Dragon--symbolizes the four directions, seasons, and elements. These Creatures are deeply rooted in our Mythology and we cannot let them succumb to the Nian! Please, Hero, you must save them!

Every day Hachiko would greet his master at the door of the hotel until, one day, his master did not return from teaching.Sadly Hachiko's master had passed away while at work but every day, at the same time Hachiko comes out to see if his master will return. Eventually the people of the town began bringing him food and treats.
Hachiko still waits for his master's return but be now knows that every citizen of Akiba is his friend, and is always happy to greet new friends. He became such loved and respected symbol for loyalty that my father, Emperor Daisho, changed the hotel into a barracks for his most loyal ninja and samurai warriors and changed the name to Hachiko Tower!

Happy New Year, Hero! But I am afraid that this is not the time to celebrate. The Year of the Rooster celebrates the Fenghuang, the mythological bird that is often paired with the dragon, its feminine energy complementing the masculine energy of its counterpart. I don't know where Cysero's getting this Chickencow business from.

Oh Hero! I don't know if you heard but we've had some bad luck. Our warehouse was broken into and our items for the new year celebration were stolen! We sent a guard into town to search for our stolen items, but I think he was looking for you. Please go to town and talk to him.- Ai No Miko's Quests

Long ago, an ancient beast called the Nian plagued the isle of Yokai. The Nian would wreak havoc across the lands, destroying everything in its wake. My ancestors then discovered that the Nian was afraid of the color red, which is why Akiba is adorned with crimson. Firecrackers also frightened the Nian.The Chinese New Year celebration eventually scared the Nian away and it never came to Akiba ever again. The Nian was eventually defeated by a great warrior, but we still celebrate the Chinese New Year to kkep evil spirits at bay. However… it appears that the spirit of the Nian lives on!
The Nian spirit has chaorrupted the sacred Four Creatures of the World. Each Creature--The Black Tortoise, White Tiger, Red Bird, and Blue Dragon--symbolizes the four directions, seasons, and elements. These Creatures are deeply rooted in our Mythology and we cannot let them succumb to the Nian! Please, Hero, you must save them!

Empress of Yokai
Hello there, Hero. As you can see… we are dealing with an unruly guest in our custody. According to the locals, he's arrived early for our Lunar New Year celebration, and has been harassing people, challenging whoever looks "worthy" to some sort of duel. We wouldn't be wasting our time here if he weren't actually brandishing steel against unarmed people. YOU do have a reputation as a worthy warrior; maybe you can teach him the meaning of respect, and how a TRULY worthy hero acts.

After Malgor's defeat in Arcangrove, he is eager to find a new connection to the ley lines of Lore - and it looks like he's set his sights on the nexus in Yokai. On a hill outside of town lives an old wizard named Mahou. If anyone can help us protect our nexus from Malgor, it is him.
Ley Lines?
The ley lines are like arteries of mana… and if they are corrupted with Shadow, Malgor will have made major progress towards controlling our world. Obviously, we can't let that happen!

There is no better community of video gamers on the entire internet I should know, I spend my life keeping our websites going! Thank you for logging in, for sharing your love of our games, and for making my job one of the best online.
Empress of Yokai
Thank you for responding to my invitation. The statues of the Knight and the Priestess have challenged you to traverse their Temple and Shrine. Talk to them for direction, but be on your guard.
Talk
I heard that a hidden village made themselves known, and began spreading word of the deities they worshiped. Challengers from all over the Isles arrived to traverse the Temple of the Solstice Moon and the Shrine of the Midnight Sun. Triumphing will earn you their patron deities blessings. I would rather someone I trust, you, win their two-faced rewards. This is what I've discovered.Deities
The Temple and Shrine are a mixture of Greenguard and Yokai influences, but the two deities said that they took their power from fallen gods that once resided in the Northlands. It has opened my eyes to how I've been too focused on the inner workings of Yokai. We are no longer isolated, and I must turn my attention to how the lands from afar will affect and influence us in the future.Bloodlines
I had some time to examine the statues before you arrived. The Priestess' garb resembles that of Lord Asahina, a member of my royal court - specifically his missing grand aunt. She must have ran into this knight when she fled Yokai. I have been exchanging letters with Queen Victoria, and she mentioned that the great grand uncle of Lady Cavendish also went missing some time ago. This appears to be where they ended up.Scroll
I visited the village nearby to prevent any trouble brought about by their sudden reveal, and one of the elders gave me a scroll in the bottle. It floated here generations ago, written by a man who I believe was one of the previous Kings of Greenguard. Do read it. The scroll taught me much about our lands' shared history.
Daily Quests
I have daily tasks for you. In addition to the prizes you will earn from completing the Temple and Shrine, I'll give you bonuses for helping me.

We strive to follow his example. Over the course of our friendship, I've watched you grow those same virtues. It's fitting that you're celebrating with us. We will make this a year to remember!

Yes! Our first annual festival of friendship and gift-giving. Sort of like your Frostval, but in July, when it's snowing here. I figure when times are rough, it is even more important to celebrate with our friends and family -- to keep morale high and to enjoy time with those we cherish.
Snow in July?
That's just how the seasons are here! It snows here when it's hot in Greenguard Forest, and when it's cold there, it's warm over here. Something to do with the planetary orbit and the way it's tilted toward the sun.

After completing the 'Defeat Jaaku!' quest:
Princess of Yokai, Priestess of Love
Jaaku is gone, but a threat still remains. How can we protect ourselves against something so powerful? My father believes I can protect my home, but I am not sure I can do it alone.
DragonSoul Shinobi
It seems that Jaaku was hiding more than just the source of his shadow powers. Like we did to heads of Orochi, we can also purify that power and craft some new items.

Empress of Yokai
The people of Yokai lost so much in the war. It's all so fresh - we are all still mourning our dead. But our graveyard has been overrun by a powerful onryō and his followers. They are vandalizing the graves, and preventing people from visiting their loved ones. It's too much for me to handle on my own!
Tell me about this onryō.
Shimazu is his name. Killed during the war, reawakened by Malgor. He was one of Jaaku's men, and in death he has focused his anger on those who killed him - me, and my people. He stalks our graveyard, along with the soldiers who served under him in life, attacking anyone who enters to mourn their dead. Please, help me defeat him so I can visit my father's grave.
After completing the 'The Summoning' quest:
Empress of Yokai
It worked - Shimazu is here! Please, help me defeat him, and rid our graveyard of these spirits.

Princess of Yokai
Thank you for coming to help us! My father is convinced that Jaaku poses no real threat, but I'm not so sure. There is something about him this time that feels wrong. There is a power, a strength that we have never seen before.
So what's the deal with this Jaaku guy?
He's a shogun with a lust for power. His aim is to control all of Yokai, and he's been making plays for Akiba for as long as I can remember. Every few years he shows up, we beat him back, and he slinks home with his tail between his legs.But not this time?
With your help, I believe we can defeat him! Father thinks I'm worrying too much, but… better safe than sorry, right?

The Weaving Princess will have her night with the Cowherd Prince, and my hope for the coming year is strong. Stronger than it has ever been. I cannot find the words to thank you for your help. I leave you with the words of our most skilled poets…
The bamboo leaves are rustling, swaying close to the roof's edge./ The stars are twinkling on the gold and silver grains of sand. / Five wishes, I have written. The stars are twinkling and watching from the sky.
Star Festival?
Every year, we celebrate the star-crossed gods, the Weaver Princess and the CowHerd Prince. After allowing their marriage, the Sky King grew angry with how much his daughter loved the CowHerd Prince. Once a year, they are allowed to meet, IF the Sky King approves… It is a festival for wishes and hoping your dreams will come true. And this year, I will make sure they do!Why This Year?
I feel very close to the Weaver Princess. She and I are much alike, I think. I want to help her… and if I can succeed in that, it will bode well for the coming year. A sign that all will be well, and that my home and people will flourish, like her love.

LEGEND OF TANABATA
This is the tale of two Stars, Altair and Vega, and the gods who represent them. The Weaving Princess is the daughter of the Sky King. She wove many beautiful garments for all of the Celestial Gods, but was so busy with her tasks that she had no time for love. She grew sad, and her father sought to make her happy. He arranged a marriage for her with the Cowherd Prince, who lived on the other Side of the River of Stars.
The two were very happy… so happy, that the Weaving Princess grew neglectful, and many months passed where she did not weave a single length of cloth. Her father grew angry at this, and brought her back to his of the River of Stars, the Cowherd Prince could not reach her.
The Sky King only allows them to meet on 7th night of the 7th month. And only if she has not neglected her weaving. If she has been a dutiful daughter, she is able to ride the moon across the River of Stars to spend a single night her the Prince. If her father is displeased with the Weaving Princess, he brings rain, which causes river to rise, preventing her from crossing. If she is lucky, though, her cries will call flocks of magpies, which form a bridge to help her cross the river and see her love.
Empress of Yokai
Greetings, Hero! It is good to see you again, under less taxing circumstances. I've asked you here to help me with a Yokai Hunt!
Yokai Hunt?
You see every year around this time, a very rare and special Yokai called Etokōun appears. It symbolizes the Zodiac in its entirety and is known to bring a year of good luck and fortune to those that can keep it captured for a full day! I need your help capturing it!Where do I find one?
We had a lead on the Etokōun being near this forest, however it looks like a group of Nopperabo found it first! They are holding it in their camp deep in the forest. I need your help breaking into the camp and freeing the Etokōun. Who knows what the Nopperabo would be able to accomplish with a year of good luck on their side!

My subjects are being pursued by Admiral Shen Zheng, the commander of the Wuji Empire's naval forces. I've heard stories of his exploits. Mother said that a dragon hatched from the pearl of a humongous clam and wreaked havoc on Wuji. Admiral Zheng slew it underwater, and gained the ability to conjure mists and break apart typhoons.

Mother said that a dragon hatched from the pearl of a humongous clam and wreaked havoc on Wuji. Admiral Zheng slew it underwater, and gained the ability to conjure mists and break apart typhoons. Stories of Wuji are scattered, so I may not know the ones that were passed through Yue's line.
Cave
This island, known as Takarajima, was where the Yokai Royal Family would hide their treasured belongings during times of strife. For now, I've moved the twelve Wuji Princes and Princesses inside, along with each of their line's family heirlooms. They were to be protected by a seal that would only allow members of the Yokai Ruler's family through. I've temporarily removed it so the ship's crew and passengers can hide inside.
Greenguard
Queen Victoria and I regularly correspond through letters. Though I sense some insecurity, the Queen is down to earth, and puts aside her anxieties to care for her people. She listened intently when I informed her of our plight, so it irked me that Lord Brentan disobeyed her strict orders to allow Yokai to handle its own affairs. Ah, what's done is done. Hm? Where is the Queen now? Our letters slowed because she became quite busy.
