History
The humans of planet Earth had long lived in harmony with mother nature. However, in the past hundred years, things had been different. The humans no longer respected animals, and many of the species were restless. A group of wolves searched the land masses for some way to get away from the human menace. The year 1960 was upon them...
They found their solution near the coast of Africa. Over hundreds of years, somehow unseen by humans, continuous volcanic activity formed a new land mass. This area had become a utopia over the years, and the animals realized that this might just be their chance to get away. They swam from the coast, drawing further and further away until they could no longer see the mainland. They finally reached the sandy beaches of a new continent. This area, for now unknown by humans, was exactly what they had been searching for. The animals quickly settled into their new home. The animals lived in harmony for over forty years.
In 2000, the humans finally surveyed the land mass. Somehow, their scientists had overlooked this land, and their ship routes had mysteriously passed it by. A horde of humans flooded the continent, sticking their noses in where the wolves believed they didn't belong. Mankind attacked them, slaughtering all the wolves in sight and burning large areas of the island. Finally, accepting that this place was not fit for human life after their tyrade, the scientists left, deeming the land uninhabitable.
Wolves that had hidden from the human's flames and the merciless weapons slowly began to emerge from their hiding places. Over the next eight years, the plant life gradually grew back. Now, the wolves needed to figure out a way to survive with many of their resources exhausted...

02.04.10 - The newest contest is posted on the OOC board! Head on over and check out the advertising contest, sporting some rather nice prizes for the winners, and a little something for everyone who participates!
- Xinelil -
01.21.10 - The Activity Check is officially over. All accounts on the list that did not reply have been deleted.
~ 'Nali ~
01.16.10 - There is an Activity Check [click] in progress. You have until the 20th of January to post. Failure to respond will result in account deletion, no ifs, ands, or buts.
~ 'Nali ~
1.03.10 - Happy New Year everyone! We're going to need to make some site New Year's resolutions, so go ahead and swing over to the chat board for some suggestions! I'd like to extend a warm welcome to our newest members, and also encourage the rest of you to advertise for the site. We're in a bit of a slow spot because of vacations, but I hope to finish up the plot within the next month; then we can work through some new ideas! Love you all.
- Xinelil -
12.13.09 - So I finally got around to updating the breed statistics page. We have about seven (7) more males than we do females, so if you want to make a new character I encourage you to make a female. Males are still welcome though. We also have no Iranian wolves (aside from Alya's ghost), so don't be shy to make some desert breeds as well. Zahir only looks slow 'cause all of its members are on scouting missions. ;]
~ 'Nali ~
11.29.09 - Anyone who hasn't checked the announcements and voted on the poll should do so with all post haste! Anyways, it's nearly winter. The weather for each territory has been updated to reflect this. Now that Thanksgiving is over, I hope to see you all around more!
- Xinelil -
11.06.09 - New code implemented! When posting you now have the option to use a posting table. Don't now how to code a table? Check out the tutorial here [click]! With the new coding comes a new board. The Character Corner will let you easily keep track of pretty much everything you find important to your character, whether it be thread history, images, or table codes, amoung other things. Go wild! >3
~ 'Nali ~
11.01.09 - There is a new activity check up on the site; this is another one that in order to post your characters, you MUST be actively posting! Also, we have done some rearranging in the staff and such. November is the last month of fall, so soon the site will be transitioning to winter. Thanks everyone!
- Xinelil -
10.23.09 - We've got some brand new boards for you all to check out! We've also implemented a few new codes. The word counter no longer includes UBBC tags. The forum now automatically resizes posts to size one (1) font so you no longer have to resize posts by hand. Some on/off icons have been added as well simply because I hate looking at the default ones. If anyone wants to make some skin specific ones, feel free.
~ 'Nali ~
10.02.09 - ACTIVITY CHECK! It's simple. Just list your ooc name and all the characters you play. Please and thanks. Also, if any other staff has anything important to say, just modify the main post.
~ 'Nali ~
09.26.09 - 'Ello all! <3 Just like to point out that Silver made a new skin called Tides of War. If you haven't already, check it out! And if you've already done so... well... good for you! ;p Come October 1st I'm thinking of running a simple activity check to see who still comes around. And I'll also be archiving ALL threads that are over 1 month old, reguardless of content. If it hasn't been posted in since July or August, it's dead.
~ 'Nali ~
9.2.09 - Wow, first update in a while. I've posted a notice on the Staff Announcements board for everyone to read. Please be sure to you take the time to look over there!
- Xinelil -
07.25.09 - Please please please read the July Announcements. They contain both vital information and an Activity Check. It's nice to see activity steadily picking up around here as well. Hope you guys are having amazing summers. ;p
~ 'Nali ~
7.1.09 - I've got a few things to say. First off, for Scarmy, Happy Canada Day! This weekend is the Fourth of July, so I'm not going to be upset if it gets a little slow around here. But after that, we'll be having an activity check. On another note, I'll probably internet-less from the 12-17 of this month, so I know everyone is busy with summer as well. Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm thinking about ya and that we need to get some killer roleplaying in action!
- Xinelil -
6.6.09 - The activity check ended today. Any characters not accounted for have been deleted and their biographies moved to the graveyard. On another note, a few mini-profile features have been added for the characters. You now need to select your wolf's age, breed, and height on your "edit profile" section. I went through and adjusted a few member's statistics for them as examples. I'm fairly sure it's straightforward enough. Hence you will not be required to keep your age and breed in your signature anymore unless you are a mixed breed wolf that wishes to let others know what combo your wolf is. Now that I'm done rambling, activity is picking up. I'm excited to see a few new faces here too! Hope you guys are all enjoying summer!
- Xinelil -
5.24.09 - Well, some of us are starting to get out of school, and so hopefully things will pick up soon. I'm posting an activity check today; please post or your accounts will be deleted (minus those of you with RECENT absence posts -within one month-) I'd like to see a bit more IC posting too, so if you need to post, please do! Love ya all.

On the continent of Anikira, there are specific guidelines, breeds, and other miscellaneous information necessary to fit in. Learn these things before creating a new character and joining those already inhabiting the lands of Anikira.
The Sacred Lives Once you have read the rules and guidelines for creating your biography, here is your next task. Please fill out the form to create your biography. Wether your wolf is young, or old, black or white, this is your next stop on the way to roleplaying. Let your creativity flow as you weave yourself into your character. You should not post IC until your character is accepted.
Staff Announcements The staff often have important information to relay. Here you will find these records, whether they be polls, reminders, or lengthy announcements. Members are encouraged to give input to help further the site and simply have a part in the process. Be sure to keep an eye on the board to keep up to date on the going-ons in the lands of Anikira.
The Kinath The mountains of The Kinath tower above the rest of Southern Anikira. Dangerous, slick paths lead up to the snow-capped peaks. The range divides the plains from the greenery of the Oriens. Snow remains on the tips around the caves year round. Evergreens are the only trees on the mountains, but large boulders prevent excess erosion.
Nyspoli's Pool A fresh water source, Nyspoli’s Pool, is fed by an underground river that bubbles through rocks at the base. The water is clear, fresh, and cool. The pool is deep, serving as a home to large fish and other water critters. It is surrounded by a sandy beach and large oak trees. Erosion over the years has exposed tree roots near the water’s edge.
Zaor Forest The prided Zaor Forest covers a large portion of the Oriens. There is a variety of trees, including pine, oak, evergreen, and maple. The forest provides shelter to a variety of prey. Nyspoli’s Pool is nestled within its branches. The earth is damp and mossy, and the trees supply constant shade to those who wander within its midst.
Aughgar River Dividing the Occasus from I’queyer, the rough and wide Aughgar River snarls through the continent. Jagged rocks and sharp brush cover the edge, and rapids are unpredictable. There are no calm places of the river; however, fishing is superb along the shore. The river feeds the southern gulf, and any wolf caught by the river will be swept to sea.

Pievunt-An The origin of Anikira, Pievunt-An, resides in the heart of the Occasus. Smoke still rises from the peak, and volcanic ash is piled along the sides and base. The trees and plants have started to grow back after the violent eruption, and it is now considered dormant. However, the risk of another eruption still rests in the hearts of the wolves.
Sands of Rodorr The Sands of Rodorr serve as a home for much life, even with the high temperatures. Snakes, coyotes, birds of prey, and many varieties of bugs find a home in this rough environment. The Sands are desert-like for most of the year, but during the winter and spring, huge rainstorms bring the area to life, but these plants survive briefly.

Acerbus
Lleingas Woods A mysterious fog embraces this dying forest destroyed by flames. The only animals that feel at home here are bats and other night-crawlers. Hunting is rough, but manageable. Eerie rock formations cast daunting shadows, giving the woods an unnerving presence. The spirits of hunted wolves linger, unable to rest in this wooded area.

Drarynough Hidden deep within Lleingas Woods lies a lake shrouded in constant mist. It seems bottomless, water tinted gray. No animal has lived to reach its bottom, the lake over two hundred feet deep. It feeds the Aughgar River yet very few animals trust its purity. A strange island rests in its center, dead trees and shriveled bushes adding to the eerie aura.

Ryn-Eldbel Blessed with clear skies, Ryn-Eldbel is a human made ridge. TNT littered the ground with rough, jagged rocks though the summit is smooth and inhabitable. Large prey like to graze there. One ill blast by mankind created an entrance into an abandoned mine. Old mine carts and train tracks wind through various tunnels beneath the plateau.

Kamari
Boryz Expanse Where the Boryz Forest once stood, a regrowing piece of earth is slowly regenerating plant life and trees. This terra is dry and infested with sickly brush. Few game can survive on the meager plants and rarely remain long. The dry grasslands are hot and unsheltered, but small animals, such as prairie dogs, reside beneath the surface, producing a quick meal.

Enackir Hot Springs The clear, toasty waters of Enackir Hot Springs appeal to wolves of all kinds. The crystal blue liquid is calming and serene. Nature has finally filtered the human's contaminates from the water, creating a lovely utopia for all varieties of animals. Although the water is too hot to drink, it is a wonderful place to bathe and play on a cool day.

Kalus's Point As the scientists abandoned the island, they left behind a post. The stone buildings were knocked to pieces as an attempt to hide their appearance on the island. A few stone buildings are left. Many of the wooden buildings were burned by uncontrollable wildfires. The ash and debris that once filled the air has finally cleared, revealing a useful home for the wildlife.
Lerelm A tunnel worms its way under the mountains, carved out by years of erosion and shifting earth. The deeper it delves, the louder the trickles of water can be heard. The passageway explodes into a cavernous aquifer, buried below the surface for thousands of years. The fresh water is cool and never threatens to run low.

Tia'deli Mountains The peaks of Tia-deli stretch high into the clouds. The mountains run from the western coast to the southern border of Shyia. While they are not nearly as cold as most mountain ranges, there are spots within the mountains that are treacherous in the dead of winter. The foliage is bursting with mid-sized animals that feast on the squirrels and rabbits.
Xayar Forest The trees of Xayar Forest sprawl across the majority of Northwestern Anikira. The climate varies from colder and dryer in the North to the warmer, damp atmosphere of the South. Wildlife generally clusters in the southern forest, but more exotic animals, such as the arctic fox and snow hares, prefer the trees near the base of Tia’deli.

Tiayr
Zozyr’s Glory Ominous cliffs stretch across the Northeastern coast of Anikira. While at first glance they seem unnerving and deadly, they are actually teeming with life. Ledges and slopes provide methods of navigation, and the walls are covered with caves. The sheer wall is named for the legendary wolf Zozyr, one of the wolven gods believed to have formed the island.
Nyjoro Hills The widespread hills of Nyjoro coat most of Tiayr and half of Caurus. These hills are bustling with life and vary in size from mere bumps to nearly mountainous mounds. They remain green year round, and the large game of the continent tend to wander the hills, including bison, caribou, and moose.
Ia'gha Lake Hidden in a valley of Nyjoro Hills, Ia’gha Lake is slightly southwest of Zozyr’s Glory. The water is chilly year round; it is below sea level and rarely comes in contact with the sunlight. The lake is fed by a small tributary of Nytyte River that snakes through the hills. While the temperature is cold, some fish and water-dwelling critters still survive here.

Caurus
Nytyte River Carving a path through the hills, Nytyte River divides Caurus from Tiayr. The river is no more than a half mile wide, but the currents are dangerous and make crossing difficult. Paths of rocks and beaver dams provide a safe passage in a few areas, but otherwise it keeps intruders from accessing the terra.
The Shydar A vast meadow coats the center of the northern territory. During the winter, the fields are desolate and bland, but with the arrival of spring, the foliage blooms. A blanket of red flowers has coated the ground every spring in remembrance of the wolves that lost their lives here. Trees dot the horizon, and small brooks and pools litter the ground.

I'queyer [unclaimable]
Chamoru Plains Central to the continent lies Chamoru Plains, a vast, endless grassland open to all. Safe from Pievunt-An and sheltered by the Kinath, these grasslands are pure and fresh. Wildflowers bloom during the warm months. This area is home to large prey such as bison, elk, and deer. Occasional savannah-style trees dot the land.
Endyt Beach Running along the majority of the coast, Endyt Beach is a mixture of dirty sand and pure white sand. Brush and plant life sprout up along the water line, but the access is easy by nearly any area of the continent. The southern coast along the gulf is a common retreat spot for wolves. The sand is soft and warm, heated by all day sun exposure.
Ina'mos Island The lava has cooled, and the waves against the molten earth carved a new isle off Anikira's coast. Ina'mos Island, a slowly evolving utopia, is small but has great potential. Saplings and grass are beginning to grow, while other places still wait for their hidden potential to be exposed. The island may act as a sanctuary from the perils of the mainland.
