"Voice from on High"
The "Voice from on High" is a fax machine recieving the themes for Splatfest in the world of Splatoon.
Description
According to The art of Splatoon[1], the "Voice from on High" recieves messages from the gods of old and sends them to the people of the present. The message from the gods comes every other weekend. Their words manifest through sacred sounds and appear in print upon white paper.
The people hold festivals called Splatfest in which two (three in Splatoon 3) compete to honor these words. Only through competition, the expression of the joy of victory or the sadness of defeat, can one reap the rewards send down by the gods of old.

Trivia
- When first booting up, O.R.C.A. makes a sound similar to the Wii U's power-on jingle, but in a different key. This is followed by the sound effect heard just before the reveal of a Splatfest theme by the "Voice from on High".
