The Fox Spirit
The Atsune are attuned to the fox spirits of the realm of the Ame'ryl. They are few and far between and one of the longer-lived people of the realm usually living up to 200 years and more. They wander the realm after leaving their family. They are mischievous, quick, curious, and unpredictable. Some settle down around shrines and become shrine hands to the various powerful greater spirits they serve. Some truly take to their nature and travel the world, never settling down. They seek thrill, adventure, and new experiences.
They were one of the first spirits to set foot upon the realm of the Ame'ryl when the first spirit gave shape to the realm. They have been part of many adversities. The Atsune Lia'bell slew Zalios, the first Great Ame'ryl to fall to corruption within the world. The first-ever subjugation of fallen spirits. Something that would repeat itself throughout the history of the realm. However, most go their own way.
