In the world of Antichthon Dragons fly, and unicorns prance.
It's a world of magic, fluid and vast. Counter Earth, So similar to our own...but not.
Here man is uncommon and dwell together in small settlements.
Here, elves, dinosaurs and myth are real, commonplace!
In Antichthon, Animals talk, think, and learn together. It's no surprise, but do expect the unexpected.
As mankind does on Earth, it does in the counter Earth. Animals fall to weapons of various kinds, any quadruped must be wary.

Come down to a cove, not quite a Valley, at the base of the mountains. Rich and green, untainted, but for a settlement of about 50 humanoids whom live further south. A forest fire caught near them, which pushed them away, but drove out much of the larger game. Small game is abundant though, in this virgin forest, riddled with clearings.
This beautiful shallow Valley is about 150 miles across. cutting a track across the western side, close to the mountains is a large river, which runs to the base like a giant tear, collecting at the base of the mountains to a lake, shining a blue wonder. The hills at the base of the mountain are large, and before the land settled itself volcanic activity caused many natural caverns to form, some of which are interconnected by tunnels. There are three tunnels that lead out away from the main collection, one only small animals, perhaps the size of a fox could get through, and another is blocked by rock fall. It leads under the river. The last, large enough for two wolves atop one another to walk, leads out to a rock formation in middle land, marked by a clearing and a young cherry tree, not yet baring fruit.
The rest, not large hills, but not plains, is rolling forest covered hill. Oak, walnut, Hickory, and Maple are the main trees found there. Pine, poplar and Cherry woods intermingle, but are not as present. Where the Fire had consumed new Birch, Beech and Pines are springing up. The young trees are no more than 2 feet high right now. Ground Cover is still struggling to come up.
Common ground and fruit bearing plants are wild strawberries, Queen Ann's Lace root, cattail tubers at the edges of the lake, Huckleberries in the high hills, black and raspberry, Young tart cherries and small sweet apples, a random small grove of apricot trees from birds eating fruit.

This is the land Cross Roads has come to populate!

Crossroads land was not always populated by wolves however. It was full of cougar, bobcat, bear, moose and game. A few wolves who had no home banded together and in their strength and will they chased away many large predators. Together they came, and though each was from another land, another life, another rule...they became one.
Each of the wolves, but ten all told, expressed their tales. Two young pairs searching for a home. One young female saw how they were, and how they worked together. She confided to her mate what she believed and he addressed the older ones.
"From across each track of land we've come here. From many different paths we've trod, but here together we now stand. We should call ourselves Cross Roads, and take in any, like ourselves. Everyone deserves chance, peace, and friendly faces to call home."
A few older ones were not sure, and stated that there would be those who turned away, or found them fools. The younger were not disheartened, and said that each must choose how they will stride.
None of the elders of that groups, which there were three of them, between the ages of 7-9 wished to rule this new land, because much still needed done to take it as their territory. The young pair who suggested it, rose to the challenge and took the older mated pair as Betas. The last young couple became Gamas. The last four were members of the pack, as they chose to be. They knew that the age old pack, across the River, would not like them there as a clan.
Slowly, the young pack built it's empire and grew. A few other wolves, loners all joined the growing pack.
Their Rivals did resent them, in heir newness, their naive nature, their open kindness. Sure it would break them down before long. They were strong, generations strong and valued knowledge of war and land. They would send splinters to heckle Cross Roads, but as the new pack grew the attacks became less and less.
Now, as the old Alphas drew to twilight years, and were soon to pass a youth who had joined them near the beginning, named Tris, stepped into the role of Alpha Female.
Together, with her Mate, Cross roads will grow and flourish, even with dangers that lurk, and enemies threaten. With the fire having chased away large game, the pack hunting together, thus some community time, was lost. This must be made up, for the pack to stay as one.

Tris bows to you, bottle green eyes closing "Welcome friend! I hope you will find safety with our family, we can be odd, we have our faults, but we are one."

Quote Draconis:

Turpis Lupus Corrupt Wolf

Basics: A corrupt wolf is a wolf whose soul was devoured by evil spirits and thoughts, usually before they are born.

Generations/History: Evil spirits were locked up in hell, put in an endless wave of torture. This was so for many years, but alas there was a day were an evil spirit managed to escaped. It searched for a host, for it would die without one. The spirit searched for the first living being it could fine. A young she-wolf who was pregnant with pups was the spirit's target. It meant to posses the mother, but instead possessed one of the young lives within her, making the Turpis Lupus.

The young pup's soul was devoured by this evil spirit, no longer existing. Once the spirit took hold of the pup, it's appearance began to change from that of a normal pup. The corrupt wolf was born first and the mother wolf died in the process of giving birth, as do all mother wolfs who hold a Corrupt wolf in the womb. The corrupt wolf did nothing but reek havoc across the land, slaughtering all animals that came into the wolf's sight.

It massacred many as decades went by. The body that the spirit possessed eventually became old, withered and died. The evil spirit left the body and looked for a new host, only searching for unborn wolf pups. This continued for many centuries, the spirit never died. Eventually, other evil spirits found their way out of hell and possessed wolf pups as well.

Appearance: Male corrupt wolves range from 9"1-10" tall. They are usually an ugly shade of brown, rarely any other color. they walk and stand in an awkward position. It appears as if they are almost standing straight up, but hunched over at the same time. When the male corrupt wolf runs, if takes normal steps with its front two paws, but the back to do an almost hop-like movement.

The front legs are longer than the back legs and show large muscles. The back legs are a little more stubby an almost stand that of a human's legs. Their tails range from 2-4 feet long and is NEVER a curled tail. The male corrupt wolf's "pelt" can range from very thin hair to very thick hair, though thin is more common. The hair is more wiry than soft. Brownish, black skin is visible under the thin, stringy, wiry hair. Their ears are almost like a bat's and are very long and pointed, ranging from 1 foot long to 1 1/2 feet long. The males canines range from 6 inches to 10 inches long. Their claws range from 7-11 inches long.
A female Corrupt Wolf ranges from 6 feet tall to 8 feet tall. Females are usually grey or white, never brown. The females walk more like an average wolf, but are still walk slightly vertically. They use all four legs when running and do not hop like the males.

Their front and back legs are like that of a male Corrupt Wolf's as is their tails and pelt and visible skin. The female's ears are not as bat like and are less pointed, the length usually ranging from 5 inches long to 10 inches long. The female's canines are 4-8 inches long and their claws are 8-13 inches long.

Aging: Corrupt wolves age, but only the body and not the evil spirit within. Every decade that goes by the Corrupt wolf only ages by one year, making the possessed body able to stay intact for 9-10 decades.

Mating/Birth/Naming: Corrupt wolves do not mate. They are evil spirits and do not believe in such things of love. They cannot produce pups either. A Corrupt Wolf is a unborn pup or a very young pup whose soul was devoured by an evil spirit. The appearance of the wolf changes when it becomes possessed, and is technically not "born" but made.


Diet:
Corrupt wolves every type of animal, including other wolves. They are abominations and will even eat their own species if in such a mood.

Family Structure: Corrupt wolves always avoid each other, for if they didn't, they would massacre each other. They usually do not speak, but instead snarl and growl. All Corrupt Wolves are anti-social.

Magic: Corrupt wolves can control shadows, meaning that they can hide themselves in darkness as if they themselves were shadows.

Belief: Corrupt wolves have no belief other than to kill.

ENEMIES Every animal is a Corrupt Wolf's enemy, including their own kind.
