It is not surprising that the Tian Xia goddess Daikitsu is a common object of veneration given that she has the everyday subjects of rice, agriculture, and craftsmanship under her divine purview.1

Appearance

Daikitsu appears as a beautiful kitsune woman with snow-white fur and nine tails.1

Holy symbol

Daikitsu's holy symbol is that of a nine-tailed fox.1

Relationships

Nalinivati, the patron goddess of nagas and the snake-like humanoids known as the nagaji, has been romantically linked with the Daikitsu, although both deities deny this claim.2

Church of Daikitsu

Daikitsu is widely venerated across Tian Xia as her role as a goddess of rice and agriculture ensures many seek her favour. Farmers seek her blessing to ensure fertile fields and good harvests; smiths and craftsmen worship her aspect as a patron of artifice; and families pray to her for safety. Daikitsu is also worshipped as the patron of the kitsune people and has many followers amongst them.1

While worshipped across Tian Xia, Daikitsu's largest centres of worship are: within the Forest of Spirits, where many kitsune reside; the samurai nation of Minkai; and Shokuro that used to serve as the breadbasket of the former empire of Lung Wa.1
