The Year of the Owl is the seventeenth in the twenty year cycle of Titan, shared across all civilized cultures and many semi-civilized ones. It is said that a person born during the Year of the Owl is possessed of great intelligent and a well-hidden savagery that manifests only in defence of what is dear to that person. Astrologers claim that good matches for an Owl Person can be found among those born in the Years of the Snake and the Fox, whilst the worst are to be found among those born in the Years of the Ox and Goat.
