Announcements
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.
- Xinelil -
4.29.09 - Obviously you all have noticed the lack of activity recently. I am not concerned about this, as finals and the end of school/college are drawing near, so most roleplayers are consumed with school work. Near the end of May, however, I'm planning on a mass activity check to be sure who all is still active, so be prepared for that!
- Xinelil -
4.14.09 - I added the store to the OOC Activities board, and thank you to Nile for the new map! Be sure to take a look at it. I'll explain all the changes at a later date!
- Xinelil -
4.7.09 - Be sure to check out the Staff Announcement board for April so far and check out the new free roleplaying board! This is a trial thing, so if you like the idea, don't abuse it!
- Xinelil -
3.30.09 - Check out the new Archives board! If you feel like reading up on Anikira's past threads, you will find them all neatly arranged by the land in which they occured. If you find a thread in the wrong board, please drop me a message.

3.22.09 - Well, nominations for the limited edition wolves were supposed to end today, but I'm extending the date until Tuesday, since I think a lot of people did not notice the thread. Please nominate: the thread is now in the Staff Announcements!
- Xinelil -
3.18.09 - Check the new post in the Staff Announcements for a nice surprise! Also, I updated the rules. Might want to go check those.
- Xinelil -
3.16.09 - Alright, I know I'm not going to be on here much. Anyone who's read my absence message knows why, and I don't want you guys to give up on the site just because I'm having real life problems. I love you guys, and thanks for everything.
- Xinelil -
3.14.09 - Silver and I have officially implemented the new word minimun limit. From now on all posts can be no less than 300 words.

3.13.09 - Happy Friday the Thirteenth everyone! Anyways, some minor updates have been made in terms of general information. Accepted bios will now be listed in alphabetical order. New herbs have been added to our ever growing list thanks to Siscarm. The breed statistics thread has been updated and now accurately reflects our accepted character count. And finally, we've now got an info thread for pup development. Enjoy the new info!
~ 'Nali ~
3.8.09 - I'd like to announce that it is now spring in Anikira! Also, I'm looking at adding one or two limited edition wolf breeds. Check the Staff Announcement board for more information about this!
- Xinelil -
2.11.09 - I cannot stress enough: ACTIVITY CHECK! Everyone must post. Staff members are not exempt. Also, I went through and updated affiliates. I may be looking for some new staffies soon, so keep your eyes open for more info!
- Xinelil -
2.7.09 - It's been a while since I've updated here. As many of you might have noticed, I haven't been overly active lately, and I apologize for this. My schedule's getting pretty crazy so chances are this will be going on into March at least. But I'm working on a surprise for you guys, and I really hope you'll like it!
- Xinelil -
1.2.09 - I hope everyone had a good New Year so far! Other than the fact that I tripped into a cement wall a few minutes after midnight, it's been fairly good. Anyways, there's an activity check on the OOC board. Make sure you post by tomorrow or your account is going to be deleted/suspended! Thanks everyone.
- Xinelil -
12.31.08 - Happy New Year everyone! And g'luck keeping resolutions. Betcha I break mine within a month. ;P
~ 'Nali ~
12.30.08 - As you have probably noticed, I've redone the boxes on the sidebar and added a header table with the full weather for each region, the staff, and the quick links. This only will appear on the main page as a convenience and my inability to figure out how to do it on the global header... Haha! Anyways, I hope you guys like it!
- Xinelil -
12.28.08 - Because of the suggestions for the site, I've added a new "alias" code to the board that makes it so you can switch between accounts from the posting screen. If you're having any difficulty figuring it out, check with a staff member or another member that knows how to use it. I'm also posting up a check for pack members. I went ahead and updated the Aldgar numbers, but I need the new counts for Salen and Haishin. Thanks!
- Xinelil -
12.21.08 - 'Nali may or may not be abusing her powers by invading the Announcement box. *evil smirk* I just wanted to say to everyone, HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE! It's officially winter! Woo! Um... that is all. Have a lovely day! *holds out basket of assorted muffins*
~ 'Nali ~
12.11.08 - I'm working on replacing the old board images. There is now a text link along with the image, so you can use the navigation bar! Thanks to Fellixe of Broken XRoads for the idea. The boards should be completely updated by tomorrow evening.
- Xinelil -
12.10.08 - I just finished up the winter skin! It's available to change like all the previous skins. Set to default. Hope you guys like it!
- Xinelil -
12.8.08 - It's time for another *drum roll* activity check! Yes indeed! I intend to crack down on activity from now on. I really want this site back to its old grandeur, and it's not going to happen unless everyone pitches in. We're starting to get a few new roleplayers, and I'd like to personally welcome each one! Welcome to the site! I would also appreciate some of you going out and advertising for us. Do not put up affiliate requests without my permission, but the more word we can get out about the site, the greater it will be!
- Xinelil -
12.1.08 - Good to see we're getting some activity back up. I got rid of dead accounts. Remember, today is the first day of mating season, which runs until the end of January. I'm glad that all of you stuck with the site when it went dead for a while, and now I'm hoping we'll be getting some new people to hype up the roleplay. Love you all!
- Xinelil -
11.16.08 - I'm going to put another activity check up. I cleaned out the announcements, and the new skin will be set to default later today. I'm really urging you guys to get out there and get some new people so we can get Anikira up and running again. Thank you all for not giving up on the site!

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...
General Information Every journey has a beginning. In order to embark on yours, please familiarize yourself with the information within. On the continent of Anikira, there are specific guidelines, wolf breeds, and miscellanious other information necessary to fit in. Learning the past, present, and future of the lands is the greatest step towards the start of new life. Make sure to 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 convey to the members of the site. 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 Up high above the rest of the lands, the Kinath bears snow-capped mountains and dangerous, slippery paths. This mountain range divides the sandy lands from the plains, and precipitation is very high. Snow remains on the tips around the caves year round, and snowy animals love the cold, nippy air. Evergreens are the only trees on these mountains, but large boulders keep erosion from getting out of hand. Few animals survive, but the ones who do thrive.
Nyspoli's Pool Feeding the Aughgar River, Nyspoli's Pool is fed by an underground river that bubbles through the rocks at the base. The water is clear, fresh, and cold. This pool is about twenty feet deep, and the largest fish rest near the bottom. The edge of this lake has beach sand and large oak trees that provide shade. Erosion leaves roots exposed in many places around the water where animals can hide, whether they are hunting or just needing to escape.
Zaor Forest The pride of the continent, Zaor Forest covers a vast portion of the eastern territory. There are various coniferous and deciduous trees, including pines, oaks, evergreens, and maples. This forest shelters a large variety of prey, and it is near Nyspoli's Pool, meaning that animals typically stick around for a while. The ground is always damp, and the shady trees make any trips through pleasant and enjoyable.
Aughgar River Splitting the lands into seperate halves, the Aughgar River is rough and wide. Jagged rocks and brush protrude in various places, and rapids are likely to snatch the unsuspecting wolf who decides to take a swim. There are no calm spots in the river, but near the edge, fishing is superb. This river feeds into the small gulf formed by the fold of the land. Any wolf that survives its way down the river will most likely be swept far out to sea when they reach the end.
Pievunt-An On the coast of the land mass, one peak towers above the rest. Pievunt-An is a dormant volcano; the original source of Anikira. Volcanic ash and lava piled up over hundreds of years around this volcano, building up the land. This volcano now appears to be extinct, and it is not likely to erupt. Trees and other plant life grow on the sloped ground, and animals feel no threat from nature’s most dangerous enemy.
Sands of Rodorr Covering about one fourth of the continent of Anikira, the Sands of Rodorr are home to much life, despite 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. It is common for plant life to appear for a few months, then shrivel back into the ground once summer arrives.
Lleingas Woods A mysterious fog constantly hangs over this partially dead forest. Taken in by the flames of the humans, many trees still stand barren and charred. The only animals that feel comfortable here are bats and other dark animals. Hunting is rough but manageable. Around every tree, large, eerie rock formations cast daunting shadows and spooky shapes. These woods seem to have an unnerving presence in them. The spirits of wolves killed by the human’s rampage remain, unable to rest, in this wooded area.
Drarynough Hidden deep within Lleingas Woods, a spooky lake, shrouded in a healthy constant mist, seems to have no bottom. The water is a grayish tint, and the only color within is the reflection of the trees. Animals that attempt to swim to the bottom have died in their attempts, as the lake is over two hundred feet deep. It feeds the Aughgar River of the Occasus, yet very few animals trust to approach it. A strange, random piece of earth rests in the center of this enormous lake. Dead trees and shriveled bushes complete the eerie feel of this miniature land mass.
Ryn-Eldbel One of the only un-clouded areas of the territory, Ryn-Eldbel was formed as a result of the blasts humans detonated. Rough, jagged rocks rest near the bottom while the top is smooth and inhabitable. Large prey sometimes venture to the summit to graze on the tuffs of grass. One misplaced blast by mankind resulted in the collapse of the outer rock, leaving an entrance to a mine that had been abandoned when the humans evacuated the area. Old mine carts and train tracks wind through various tunnels beneath the plateau.
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.
Chamoru Plains Central to the continent, the Chamoru Plains is a vast, seemingly endless grassland that is open to all. Far away from the once active volcano and sheltered by the Kinath to the west, these grasslands are pure and fresh. Wildflowers bloom during the spring and early summer. This area is a home of larger prey, such as bison, elk, and deer, as well as one of the nicest areas on the continent. 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 the coast of the continent. Ina'mos Island, a slowly evolving utopia, is small but has great potential. Saplings and grass cover areas, while other places are still waiting for their hidden potential to be exposed.
