The foxes of the Flame Skulk support a strong-willed patriarchy, with crude and violent laws that have persisted since their dawn.

The terrain they inhabit is mostly grassland, and their fur gives honor to their namesake in hues of orange and red.

SHADOW SKULK
Summary:
The foxes of the Shadow Skulk contrast the former with a rigid matriarchy. Each queen rules with icy claws and absolute control over her children, along with the bearing of their future offspring. The terrain they inhabit is icy tundra, in close proximity to the Flameborn, and their coats range from white to pale shades of blue-ish gray and tan. All you'll see of these cunning foxes' are their shadows against the snow.
