Here's where you'll find those nifty character logs, oh so useful for keeping track of your personal pack of characters!

The Mansion is the central home to the Varce Pack. It is where the dogs of the pack sleep, raise their families, hold meetings, and moreover, survive. It was once the home of a family of rich humans, all of whom died from the virus of 2012. Some dogs in the pack find the place frightening, believing it to be haunted by the spirits of the humans.

Named for the first leader of the pack's surrogate father, this lake gives water and fresh game to the Varce Pack. This is a great play-place for pups, since most of the lake is shallow and calm. The northern shore, closest to the Mansion, is the easiest to approach the lake from, for the other banks are much steeper.

The Mansion is built up upon a hill, overlooking the city, but the hills surrounding it and leading to the lake in the small valley behind it are covered with green grass, trees, and especially wild daisies. These hills are a popular place of relaxation for those of the Varce pack.

Here is the world where men once flourished among their family life. Now it is claimed by no group, but it is the goal of both the Rytran and Varce packs, and one of the main reasons for their arguments. Both groups desire these homes falling into disrepair for the plethora of stored food within their walls, not to mention the extra shelter for their growing packs. But for the moment, it is simply the home of strays.

This park once belonged to the humans and their children, a place where dogs were rarely allowed or accepted. If only the humans could see their beloved park now - overrun with strays, using the slides and toys for shelter from the cold and the rain.

Quite naturally unused for almost fifteen years since the disappearance of man, the railroad is old, rusted, and rotting in places. It leads away from the city, to who-knows-where; it is said by many that this railroad is haunted by the millions of humans who died on it when the driver of a train became submissive to the virus.

It lies in the lightly forested area before the beach, and seems like a tight fit; however, despite the one small entrance into the bunker, the halls span widely down into the earth. There is a lookout structure above the entrance as well as rusted and decrypted stairs leading up to it, allowing guards to easily survey any odd changes in the surrounding area. There are many hidden rooms, and it is quite easy to get lost if you do not already know your way around. The gang of kind and dignified strays cleared the bunker of the decomposing human bodies quickly after they decided to use this place as their base of operations.

This large apartment building is surprisingly still in good condition, and it has become the home of the Rytran pack. The hundreds of different apartment rooms (or at least the ones whose previous owners left their doors unlocked) act like a maze of dens for the wild dogs.

The overgrown courtyard behind the apartment complex of the Rytran pack acts as a primary meeting place for the dogs, in addition to being a safe playground for puppies and adults alike. Some prey can be caught here, for the out-of-order fountain fills with rainwater and attracts other wild animals, since there is little other water nearby.

Out in front of the apartment complex is the Main Street of this dilapidated city. Scattered throughout the road are the cars of humans, some of which still contain the rotted remains of their owners.

Despite the fact that the city wasn't a particularly large one, they did have a small subway system. The Rytran dogs use this underground network of tunnels for hunting small prey and for quick, hidden travel from their part of the city to the rogue territory.

This is where the staff members come to hang out, discuss site ideas, and do our planning for future plots.

Distinguished members are allowed in here as well!

Here you'll find information on the pack ranks, general character populations, and member populations!

During breeding season, this is also where puppies and their stats will be posted!
