Our Story:
Long ago there was a traveling fox who knew much about cleansing dark spirits. On his travels he found a vixen who was plagued by a spirit of vengence, after staying with her for a time to cleanse her troubled soul, the vixen passed on and in the foxes dreams he saw the deceased fox whos spirit revealed itself as the deity Tamamo no Mae.She tanked him for his act although it ened in her downfall, it freed her from the mortal realm she was bound to after the spirits former life as a evil demon.
She asked the male to spread her story so that other souls wouldnt be cursed as she was to a life of misery, and the world wouldnt fade to darkness.
He took her request and slowly gained a following, had children, and lived his life to its end leaving his son to follow in his footsteps.
The son of the traveler, was the male who became the founder of the shinku Chikai tribe.
As generations went by the message of the tribe was skewed and distorted into a fashion that lasted til the 8th generation, a vision where the tribe saw any foxes they saw as evil were to be destroyed in order to "save the purity of the world" and from there the "shinku's dark age of purification" However the 8th elder Seto found this wrong, and did something that at the time was seen as insane and an act of treason, he accepted a Daeva kit into the tribe, he stood by his decision all the way through even on his death bed. He watched as this Kit grew up near his own daughter, and although some still didnt accept him, the next elder, Rinko, setos daughter found the deava Aurum to be trustworty enough to trust her live and love to him.
Months after Rinko was brought up to the role, an enemy tribe attacked, and the shinku were thrown into a war with the neighboring tribe whuich sought to punish the shinku for their past crimes. Over the next year the battle was back and forth, and the shinku were ultimately victorious, however at the meeting between elders to make peace Rinko was betrayed, as the other elders attacked her mortally wounding her. The wound was grave enough to limit her lifespan.
As the 9th was using her remaining time, her and her mate were met with 2 children, however one had a strange aura about it, a weaker pulse then the other. the Medics that were charged with the elders health soon announced her passing, as well as the Weaker Bcr.

In ancient practices when an elder passed on, their next of Kin would take over. However with the last Elder Rinko's passing there was no next of kin as both her children were still BCR's and unable to take on responsibility. When one child passed before birth the counsel decided that the death of both one child and the elder on the same day, was a sign from Tamamo no Mae that the tribe was doomed to fade from the history books, and all members disbanded and went on their ways, never to see one another again.
years later, a female fox began to wonder why her mother was never seen or heard from. Her father decided it was time to take her on a trip to the burial grounds of the Shinku Chikai tribe, where her mother Rinko was buried, and where she was to rebuild her family's legacy and take up the mantle of elder.
Other foxes came, and the tribe began to come back together, gaining needed members allys and a guardian who became very protective over his duties.
