Welcome to Canis Major

a wolf and animal rpg (role-playing game)

Canis is a writing community for play-by-post (forum-based), freeform roleplay set in a fictional dream world in the intrusion fantasy genre. Most characters on Canis are wolves; many play elements are focused around wolves and canids, but the world makes room for a large variety of other animal characters such as dogs, horses, cats, bears, deer, and many, many more.

Our community is focused on flexibility, creativity, and collaboration. That boils down to a few important features:

  • There is no set activity requirement to write
  • The setting and plot are member-created and staff-supported
  • The game is continuously improved to increase fun and decrease stress

Northfall

View
A mountain chain rests along the coast. The peaks of Northfall lay at the edge of a fjord at its north. Frosted by snow year-round, the mountains are bitter cold in the winter and pleasantly mild in the summer. The land is typically never without a good breeze. Any adventurers coming will be met with the only bit of forestry for miles. While the upper elevations are mostly snow, ice, and rock, the lower reaches are dotted with various evergreens and at the foothills supports a lush coniferous forest. Mountain goats and sheep are common in these mountains and in the forest below, caribou herds and moose graze.

Nestled in an unforgiving snowy realm, the wolves of Winterhelm are known for their lineage of warriors and giants in stature. Resilience and survival are their lifeblood, and they prioritize their kingdom's perpetuation above all else. Survival and the maintenance of their dominion are paramount, and they are willing to make tough choices to protect their kingdom. In Winterhelm, only the strongest, both physically and in spirit, can navigate the unforgiving terrain and lay claim to this icy domain.
