Fox-Folk are a race of fox people that are quite rare. They tend to hide their fox heritage while dealing with other races as a way to keep away from the discrimination and hatred built up history, and politics. After coming out of hiding, most of the Fox-Folk are still very secretive, albeit passionate about their causes. Still, it is in the nature of a Fox-Folk to be a bit of a trickster with people they get to know and it isn't uncommon for their jokes to "go a little too far" in the eyes of other races. Other races are wary of these fox-folk when they meet them. Many Fox-Folk go out to study magic or spread the word of their gods. Some simply want to spread the stories of their kind, valuing these great stories, Fox-Folk bards to travel to other nations to tell their tales.
