Through Clever manipulation, of other races and themselves, the Kitsune rose to power over centuries and millennia, forming a powerful empire upon the southern isle.

Form of the Fox. Using an action, you can change your form into that of a three-tailed fox. the transformation lasts for 1 hour, or until you are reduced to 0 hit point. While in your fox form, you take the game statistics of a normal fox, retaining your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma stats. You are limited in the actions you can perform by the nature of your new form, and can't speak, cast spells, or take any other action that requires hands or speech. You are still capable of ending this ability early with an action. You must complete a long rest before using this feature again.

Mask Warriors An interesting aspect of their culture, and one that is repeatedly seen within the Seishin isles, is their affinity for mask craft, and their use of masks in combats and uniforms. Even the Empress carries a mask, though she only ever appears to wear it when outside her domain, or when in combat practice. In truth, like all masks within the Seishin Iles, there is both a cultural and practical significance to it. The masks of the Kitsune, especially amidst the nobility and high-ranking military, can act as a spellcasting focus for the Kitsune, and some can even prevent divination magic from being cast upon the wearers. They also help to hide the Kitsune's emotions in combat as well as creep their enemies out.
