He climbed the tower and came down after a few days, but refused to tell what he saw. He did, however, discover a way for people to live up in the clouds...

    The First Rain and Harvest Festival
    Cultural event

    Carnation, the 15th Guardian, was extremely picky with her food. nothing made for her was good enough, making excuses like "it's too hot" or "it's too cold" or "It's too spicy" or "it's too bland." She often made her food, but even then, she wasn't satisfied. Then, one day, at a small pot luck event the Eartheins were hosting, someone found a root vegetable that wasn't seen before and came due to a recent rainstorm. They took the vegetable and cooked it into a stew, giving some to Carnation. She was so impressed by the flavor and texture she ate the entire pot and wanted more. However, the vegetable's lifespan was limited and only came from the yearly summer rainstorm. It then became a tradition to have a food festival related to the vegetable, called the "mysian vegetable," and make it into a stew every year. To this day, it's still practiced, with the current Guardian being the one to try it first.
