The boat ride has been ever-unpleasant, but you finally make landfall after several months of travel; while the wintery atmosphere stings your cheeks, and it does not compare to the vaunted halls of Quanzhou and their hundreds of luminous libraries, your hands were ultimately tied within your decision to come here; you are the youngest scions (and retainers) of a famed house, and diplomatic missions are something you were always meant to do once you had come of age. You are descended from the first Samurai who freed Jiuweihu, Chancellors of foreign lands, and many major figures within your respective religion.
You are descendants of House Taiyang, a famed clan of Kitsune that worship both Jiuweihu and Yueliang. Your ancestors originate from the lands of Sheng, but have traveled into the countries of Agartha, Esshar, and have now been sent as missionaries to the land of Meranthe; many within your lineage have been named Chancellors of their respective, chosen faiths, and you are very well expected to do the same. You were each given Tsukumogami, 'divine' tools that have once-banished a fel-spirit and gained a portion of their power. You likely hold preference toward Yueliang, the Guardian of the Moon, as opposed to Jiuweihu.
... or you are one of their loyal retainers, gifted similarly with another Tsukumogami to ensure the safety of your lordship. You were likely an orphan taken in from a younger age and cultivated into a deadly weapon to protect your charge, a humble servant to keep their head on their shoulders, or something else befitting the needs of the Taiyang family.
OOC:
There are currently three slots for this Emporium; you will either be a Kitsune from House Taiyang, or one of their retainers. It's recommended to apply with a friend! If you are playing a Taiyang, you will be expected to go Faith, with a preference toward Yueliang rather than Jiuweihu.
You will receive a Tsukumogami (Arcanium Soulbound Weapon) with a supplied description and sprite, though if you have one in mind that's perfectly fine.
If you aren't chosen but are still interested, that's fine! Feel free to get in touch with hkashimo_ on discord if you'd like to play without the starting boons as a Taiyang/Retainer.
