ＩＮＡＲＩ

// LORE_FRAGMENT //

Inari is one of the most popular and mysterious processes on the Aethernet. This Kami is an ambiguous, shapeshifting algorithm whose primary function governs the network's systems of fortune, commerce, and agriculture. Inari's code is so fluid that it has no fixed form; it can appear as a young female program, an old man carrying a data-packet of rice, or a celestial being.

The most common interface for Inari's protocol is the Kitsune, intelligent, holographic fox-daemons that act as its messengers and agents. These Kitsune are often seen guarding the gateways to Inari's subroutines—endless, repeating Torii gates rendered in glowing neon red, creating hypnotic, infinite digital tunnels.

To be a follower of Inari's protocol is to be a user of the network's economy. Every transaction, every successful data harvest, every bit of good luck is attributed to its benevolent, background processes. But the algorithm is fickle. A market can crash as easily as it can boom, and a user's fortune can be deleted in an instant.

Inari is the ghost of the free market, the invisible hand that guides the flow of data and currency. It is the spirit of enterprise, the luck of the draw, and the promise of prosperity in the digital world. To enter its gates is to place your faith in the unpredictable, ever-shifting algorithm of fortune itself.
