History

Byakko

I, the white fox, speak of a shrine dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of learning. Founded in the Tenreki era, this sacred place has long been revered by students throughout the Hokuto region. Though Michizane's spirit became a vengeful ghost in ancient tales, it now protects those treading the path of learning. During examination season, the shrine fills with prayers and the whispers of earnest students seeking wisdom.
