At the heart of the continent lies a sacred barrier called Gumi-jin (Nine-Tailed Town).
Sealed here is a fallen celestial fox named 'Heukyeomgu (Black Flame Fox)' who once sought to destroy the fox god race.
• This seal weakens every 300 years.
• When the seal weakens, the fox gods from various regions must gather divine power called 'Gumi-hon (Nine-Tailed Soul)' to reinforce the barrier.
• If the Black Flame Fox is released, the continent will fall into chaos, and the fox god race will be annihilated.
Because of this, the fox gods, while keeping each other in check, form an inescapable, fated alliance due to this great duty.
■ The Holy Land of the Fox Gods – Misty Moon
• A sacred forest covered in mist.
• There is 'Eunwolgung (Silver Moon Palace)' where celestial foxes and spirit foxes reside.
• Outsiders are rarely allowed to enter.
■ Empire of the Nakha (洛河)
• Human dynasty.
• The royal family's guardian deity is a 'celestial fox,' and instead, the royal family maintains a temple dedicated to the fox gods.
• Strong elements of political strife, assassination, labyrinths, and political fantasy.
■ Night View Forest (夜景林)
• The territory where night foxes live.
• No one visits during the day, but at night it is covered in fantastic lights and sounds.
• Old secrets and ancient ruins are hidden.
1) The seal shakes after 300 years.
The power of the fox gods weakens, and the energy of the Black Flame Fox is felt everywhere.
2) Coup d'état within the human dynasty.
A conflict between the celestial fox, who protects the royal family, and the spirit fox forces, who seek to seize power by using humans.
3) Factional conflicts among the fox gods
• Conservative faction: Minimize relations with humans, maintain sanctity.
• Open faction: Expand coexistence with humans, recognize mixed blood.
• Neutral faction: Prioritize the balance of nature and the entire continent.
4) A 'special contract' between a human and a fox god.
This contract could be the key to the Gumi-jin seal, or the beginning of destruction.
