# Foxtearins

Foxtearin origins vary depending on the story you are told, but one thing that is common is that the race mainly settled in mountain valleys and other isolationist areas in Rathnir. These isolated communities would develop the Foxtearin Culture based around family.

Although Foxtearins are extremely similar looking to Kumiho and Vulpur and are often mistaken to be the same species, though the three are completely different, and seemed to have a divergent evolution. Old Foxtearin stories say that the first Fox people left their old lands after the 4th great collapse of Durema, a mythical continent in old Foxtearin stories. These fox people would split and face their own challenges which they would evolved to adapt.
