[CK2] Tale of Nine Tails 1.5.4

Tale of Nine Tails

Version 1.5.4

This mod expands one of Luxuria Fantasia's races: Kitsune.

Kitsune are fox spirits (yokai) from a Japanese folklore, most known for their ability to shapeshift into human form, though they also possess a wide array of magical abilities. Other East Asian countries have their own variation of shapeshifting fox spirits: Huli jing (China) and Kumiho (Korea).

While this mod only loosely follows myths and stories (had to make it fit CK2 better, and to make them stand out a little), it also integrates some things from other Asian fox myths.

There's also a standalone portrait pack, if you just want new, more varied static portraits for kitsune with Luxuria Fantasia (52 female, 26 male), but not the rest of the mod. Don't use Portrait Pack and the mod itself together!

Important! As English is not my native language, localisation quality is much lower than I would like it to be. I will rewrite most of it as I will get better at English and wrting,

Features:

• Tail system; as you age, grow new tails and with them increase your power and spell selection.
• Magic; Essence (mana), all new spells spend your essence, amount of essence depends on number of tails you have, and it regenerates over time. Be careful not to overuse your magic, consequences can cost you your life!
• Wide selection of spells; healing, different shapeshifting spells, some illusion tricks to influence others minds. Some spells become more powerful as you get new tails.
• New events! Some of them accessible even without playing as a kitsune.
• Many minor additions (minor title, artifacts, some small changes to Luxuria Fantasia stuff, kitsunes become immortal after getting second tail, and others)

Not a bug/Working as intended:

• Kitsune are not allowed to use magic from Luxuria Fantasia and some of the Society of Seduction's powers.
