Notable Auspices

The Four Lords

Suzaku

The guardian of the south, Suzaku, is depicted as a majestic bird with fiery red plumage. Some stories associate her with rebirth, but scholars theorize that this is a result of her being incorrectly conflated with the firebird or Phoenix, legendary beasts with similar characteristics.
