Trivia edit
- The fan is named after and features the Black Tortoise, one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations. In Chinese, it is known as Xuanwu and in Japan, it is known as Genbu. It is often depicted as a tortoise intertwined with a snake, though in this game it is a tortoise with a large viper in place ot it's tail, not unlike the Greek chimaera. In any case the celestial being represents the north and the season of winter.
