Foxtearin

= Foxtarins                                                                                                       = Foxtairns origins very 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 community's would develop the Foxtarin Culture around family.

Although Foxtarins are extremely similar looking to Kumiho and Vulpurs, and are often mistaken to be the same species, the three are completely different, and have seemed to have a convergent evolution. Old Foxtarin story's say that the first Fox people left there old lands after a 4th great collapse of Durema a mythical content in old Foxtarin story's, These fox people would split and face there own challenges which they would they evolved to adapt.

Biology
Foxtarins are humanoid fox people that typically grow heights similar of that to a human and are usually quite slim in body structure. Both female and male Foxtarins typically range in these heights. They usually reach their final height around the age of 10 to 12 years old.

A Foxtarins average life span is about 70-80 years, while reaching the age of maturity around the age of 10.

The skin colour of a Foxtarin heavily depend on the parents though in some are cases were children can be a complete different color than both parents. Hair color on Foxtarins is determined by the environment that they were born and grew up in. There are a collection of different colours of fur being red, orange, and white there are other colours but are rear.

The following sections covering Foxtarin anatomy are parts from NuncioNull's book Liber Vulpur: A comprehensive study on the Vulpur people, Foxtarin biology is quite close to Vulper biology though there parts that diverge.

i would like to thank NuncioNull for letting me use parts in there book

Clothing
Foxtarins usually wear clothing that covers the majority of their body such as cloaks, coats or caravists with long sleeved shirts underneath. For a good time kilts were a popular, they fell out of favour for pants. Unlike there close cousins the Vulpers, Foxtarins often wear hats the reason is that Foxtarins lived in cold isolated areas for a long time, so they wore warm woolly hats.

Customs
Each Foxtarin family has there own customs but there are similar things

The Painless Death
The painless death is a custom that came around due to how painful and fatal disease was and some what still is to Foxtarins. The painless death is suggested to a ill family member after a week of them being sick, if they accept it then the family and close friends come together to celebrate the ill family members life. There closest family member is asked to kill them, a sword or pistol is used to swiftly killing the ill member. This practice was done so that the family member would not have to die a slow and pain full death but in the sadness, it celebrates the life and achievements of the member.

Caravist
A Caravist is a traditional coat worn for special occasions such as family reunions, outings. The coat came into fashion after the kilt fell out of fashion. Each family has there own coat decoration but have similarities (picture below). The coat decorations you wear indicates certain things or what sort of person you are.

Carasempo
Carasempo means family item, this is a hair loom that has been passed down by the family. It is normally handed down to the most responsible family member. Family's often have more then one carasempos. Most carasempos have been in the family since its founding. Comen ones are canes, swords, jewellery, pots or even clothing.

Family
Family is a big part of a Foxtarins life. Each family has there own rules, common things that families have is honour. Honour of the family is very in portent as it shows how strong and how respectable the family is
