Seishin

Seishin in this present day has been abandoned, betrayed by the upper echelons of their society. To them, the kitsune race has been deemed too impure, too weak, too complacent. A race that was deemed inferior and needed to be cleansed. They were too reliant on their Aether, even though it was diluted due to having multiple offspring. The Utinia council approved this action and provided support, knowing that all the other races will no longer see them as a threat to the balance of power. And thus started the dismantling and destruction of Seishin. Kitsunes were seen as evil beings because they were able to speak to the dead. Rumours spread and ballooned into absolute fear of one day rising up all the souls from the dead and taking over. It's well known that kitsunes are known to have soul aether, but it's only known within the kitsune bubble that not one soul aether user has been born in decades. Thousands of kitsunes started going “missing”. Operations still continue as normal as only a few noticed. If they were to bring it up, they would be taken on the spot. A once bustling sanctuary, turned into a ghost town in a span of a couple years. Only a couple have escaped and created their own society hidden from the outside world. Once a flourishing society reduced to rubble. Once a place for peace has turned into a haven for bandits and thieves. Once a place for freedom has turned into one of the biggest areas for trafficking and kidnapping. Seishin is now a shell of what it used to be. The only thing remaining is the shrine, which has been relocated and sealed off.
