* The culture of the Kitsune is filled with all kinds of different art and style. Their culture is fluid like water and holds beliefs in nature and religion. Their art and music tend to revolve around celebrating nature and everything it gives while the construction part of their aspect seeks to be surrounded by nature.
Likewise, with the Kingdom being that of a monarchy, the status of a kitsune is decided by a multitude of factors. Those with more tails are higher in status than those with lesser amount of tails. Likewise, the length of one's tail and the quality of the fur of the tail also represents different status. Those who have shorter tails and lower quality fur tend to be in the more poor and medium wealth area, while those with the longer tails and higher quality tend to be in the rich wealth area. Then those who are noble are not only represented by the quality of their tails but by an amulet that each have around their neck with the sigil of the noble house they belong to. Each original clan of Kitsune possesses a noble house and as such, fourteen noble houses exist. If the line of royalty is killed off for some reason, then a new line of royalty is picked from one of the fourteen noble houses.
Thirteen of the noble houses represent a clan. The clans are Wind, Earth, Fire, River, Heaven, Thunder, Mountain, Void, Spirit, Time, Forest, Ocean, and Music. Each clan specializes in a different aspect of the kingdom. Those from the wind clan are known for being quick messengers. Those from the Earth Clan are known for being Blacksmiths, From the fire clan are those who specialize in cooking. From the river, clan are those who are masterful swimmers and fishers. From the Heaven, clan comes those who are primarily made of priests. Those from thunder serve in the military as superior ranged combatants. From the mountain, clan are those who are superior in the mining of the earth for materials. Those from the spirit clan represent the medical area of the kingdom. Those in the time clan keep track of the history of the kingdom and the history of the world. Those in the forest clan are known for their ability to hunt and gather in nature, making use of even the simpler of materials to make complex devices. From the ocean clan comes the sailors, and the navy of the kingdom. From the music, clan comes culture, art, and the masters of festivals. The void clan is different than the rest though. They are considered the lowest clan in status but also the largest clan in population and representation. Their clan is made of those who fill the jobs left untouched. They are the clan of primarily middle and low weath kitsune.
The fourteenth noble house is the noble house of the three gods. This house is purely represented by the Nature's Arrows. Only those who belong to the gods belong in this house and out of all the houses, they have the lowest population, but the highest status. Their word is able to turn the tide of opionons in the other houses with ease.
