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

Location
Sangrevalle will be located in Gomeisa, tucked away within The Raven's Trail.

Culture
The people of Sangrevalle are proud and resilient, valuing loyalty, honor, and vengeance, They believe that honor must be upheld, even at the cost of one’s life. To break an oath in Sangrevalle is to invite death upon them.
 
Popular tradition among the culture —

· Those that have come to join the kingdom must partake in a ceremony called "The Noche Roja". To show that their blood is noble and true, they must spill a symbolic drop of their own blood into la poza roja, a pool within the center of their temple, and speak the oath of the people before the Rey:
 

` Honor Hasta la Muerte `



Note: More traditions may be added over time and as the kingdom grows. Be sure to keep an eye out for them!


Religion
The people of Sangrevalle look to La Dama Roja, a goddess of war, vengeance, and justice. There will often be ceremonies and sacrifices of blood, symbolizing her will and power.

Government
Sangrevalle is ruled by a monarch with absolute power, advised by a council of his most trusted, known as El Consejo Roja.

The kingdom’s laws are strict, and justice is swift. Crimes of dishonor are met with harsh punishment, often resulting in public humiliation, marring, or even execution. 

Hierarchy
 (WIP)

 
Corona de Sangre (“crown of blood”)

Rey ("king") — The one who holds the crown and the authority over the Kingdom.
Reina ("queen") — The female counterpart and mate to the Rey, holding similar, but not equal authority. It is her responsibility to walk beside her mate and provide him many sons and daughters, one of which to be chosen as Delfin, the future of the kingdom.

Sangre de Reyes (“blood of kings”)

Delfin ("heir") — Chosen heir of the Rey and next in line to the throne. They will most likely be the eldest and strongest of the Rey’s sons. However, should the Reina not give birth to a worthy son, a daughter may be chosen instead.
Principe/Princesa ("prince/princess") — Sons and daughters born to the Rey and Reina.

El Consejo Roja (“the red council”)

Gran Sanguis (“high bloodseer”) — Right hand to the Rey and third in command of the kingdom, following the authority of Corona de Sangre and Sangre de Reyes.
Maestro de Sombras (“master of shadows”) — With eyes and ears fixed to the earth and sky, they are the one who will bring all that they see and hear to the Rey, ensuring he knows everything going on within, and sometimes outside of the walls of his kingdom. They will also be tasked with delivering messages to neighboring communities.
El Comandante Sangre (“the blood commander”) — Commander of the kingdom’s forces; responsible for commanding the Soldados’ and leading the charge in times of battle.

Los Escudos Sangrientos (“the bloody shields”)

Those of this rank are highly skilled, revered, and feared. They are charged with the protection of the Corona de Sangre and Sangre de Reyes. Only those that are trusted with the royal bloodline will be invited to join this rank and must be victorious in a duel against an individual of the Rey’s choosing.

I've read over her profile and I already love her!!! Malric is currently in Gomeisa's Ruins, traveling through to get to The Raven's Trail. If you want to toss her in the ruin's, they can cross paths there. ^^
