Meet the Moncai - tricksters, mischief makers, and ghastly jesters inspired by gods of death in Japanese folklore. They will aid the Winter King by turning on their old summery leader when they see that his reign is ending, using their fiery playfulness to trick Summer's forces and lure them into battle. Read more about them in our new blog (link in bio).
