Foxkin are one of the first races (or Kin) ot come out of The Great Fall. They where created by the very magic that created the fall as it looked for a form which would allow it in the world (this is the same magic that created the gods). This creation saw Foxkin appear all of the world at the sametime. Many nations try to limit the movements of Foxkin within their boarders. That is why Foxkin moved to nations like Chilargentina.
