Born into the Zenko subrace of Kitsune, you were raised to be a guardian of the unseen, walking the delicate line between the material world and the spiritual realms. Zenko Kitsune are known for their wisdom, benevolence, and their role as protectors of sacred knowledge. Your ancestors, keepers of hidden paths, have watched over the realms for generations, ensuring that no mortal or spirit would upset the natural order.

These paths are not easily seen by the average person. They are hidden to all but those with the spiritual sight to perceive them—such as the Zenko Kitsune and the ones that they give permission to see them. These paths can lead to sacred places, portals to the Feywild, spirit gates, or hidden realms of power. While others may see only the world in front of them, you perceive the subtle threads that bind the worlds together.

For years, you served as a passive observer, guarding the boundaries between the known and the unknown, ensuring that the flow between realms remained intact. However, as time wears on, the veil between the planes is weakening. Forces both dark and curious are beginning to tamper with the fragile fabric of the multiverse, seeking to exploit these paths for their own purposes. It is now your duty to step beyond the shadows and walk the hidden paths yourself, using your Zenko Kitsune abilities to guide and protect the unseen from those who would unravel its mysteries.
