 Kitsune society is enigmatic, as kitsune prize loyalty among their friends, but delight in good-natured mischief and trickery. Kitsune take pleasure in the pursuit of creative arts and in all forms of competition, especially the telling of stories interwoven with tall tales and falsehoods. Kitsune tend to be very tribalistic and nomadic, with small groups of no more than 20 to 30 Kitsune traveling together at any time. Kitsune largely make their homes in forests and remote plains, though the more outgoing venture into the societies of the more populous races out of a combination of curiosity and the desire to leverage their trickery on those more susceptible towards it. Kitsune society is enigmatic, as kitsune prize loyalty among their friends, but delight in good-natured mischief and trickery.

 Kitsune tend to respect Elves on account of their seemingly endless collection of tales through their long lives (which much to the chagrin of other races, tends to mean Elves are excluded from excessive foxing around). Kitsune also abide well with Catfolk, who they see as peers, as well as Tylwyth, who share many cultural values. However, the Kitsune reputation as tricksters follows them when they interact with other races. Many kitsune, particularly those who dwell in mixed-race societies, choose to hide their true natures and pose as humans in public to avoid this. Kitsune tend to respect Elves on account of their seemingly endless collection of tales through their long lives (which much to the chagrin of other races, tends to mean Elves are excluded from excessive foxing around).
