Great House Kitsune
"The frontier house of the Celestial East. Originally the house was a kingdom that existed in the Feywild ruled by the Kitsune, a powerful fey creature, after Planegea broke and the feywild vanished, the house was reclaimed as a Great House of the Jade Dynasty. The House is primarily made up of Ikaren, Sunmer Orcs, Quaren and Ilborren. Recently a contract was taken from a Goblinoid mining company from Ahtal-Ka. Now as you know it's capital is located in Dugang, a small southern island of Ilborndan that has become a prosperous trading village with among the highest fishing businesses in all of Auriga I do dare say.
Now my life in Dugang has revealed a lot. Coming here from the capital is certainly was a different form of nobility. This can be seen when observing the two political factions existing in the Great House's territory. The Loyalists and Tradtionalists do not blend well enough to form a coherent body. Yet the house has not fallen into ruin. I can't say I understand all of Great Lord Tongpai's choices in these matters. But we still haven't given up ground in the isles to the south against Narga and Lynel. We keep our relations with Malfestio and the crown. But the world believes we have a mighty unstoppable navy. No no, we have a mighty and unstoppable leader. It seems that against all odds we are plentiful with fish, the sea never bodes too bad. We never faced a typhoon too dangerous, or damage from a hurricane that would sink more island nations.
You see, since you are allowing me to indulge more into this conversation. We contain a key portion of Source, the powers of creation that were left when the Plane of Water broke away and caused the great flood that created the Celestial Sea. Our Keepers and Drivers command the very oceantide. As Tongpai was Ceadeus in the flesh. We are also blessed to have a monastery of Dirge here in Dugang. The philosophy I would like to believe has caused a measure of peace between the families here, and the youth raised in the teachings have for the most part been quite impressive. When you have the great privilege of having Shingar Mulshui taking the lead, one who receives councel and audience with the Jade Emperor? Well the stars favor Kitsune. As long as we can command the sea, there will be no end to the wealth and prosperity of our small and humble house. Now do mind the trip back home sir, without a proper Kitsune map your eye's may deceive you. And if you happened to anger the wrong person, even with the right map I don't think you'll find your way home."

Structure
Great Lord Yong Tongpai has been the one and only ruler of House Kitsune. A military general of the Long Winter, Tongpai has been instrumental to the victory of several campaigns throughout the Summerwild. But it was his understanding of navel combat that has situated himself as the Great Lord of the Celestial Sea.
Culture
A mixture of Ikaren and Ilbornen practices intermixed between both cultures. Value has been placed highly on an individual's name and reputation. The house as a whole is highly supportive of the Hunter Caste. Additionally anything of a navel venture will likely have crept it's way into Kitsune culture.

Kitsune Marines
House Kitsune sponsors a very skilled and renown marine force. Marine Samurai are respected and the skill in ship to ship combat bars none. The strategy and cunning of the Great Lord has allowed the House to maintain it's force despite having lower numbers than their neighbors.Territories
