The modern world is ruled entirely by anthropomorphic species, commonly referred to simply as “furries.” From crowded metropolitan skylines to isolated rural towns, society is built and shaped by the many species that inhabit the planet. Felines, canines, avians, reptiles, rodents, and countless others coexist in a technologically modern age of cars, smartphones, television, firearms, corporations, and global politics. Despite the modern appearance of the world, its history is marked by one defining event: the extinction of humanity. The Fall of Humanity Centuries ago, during the medieval era, humans and furry civilizations existed side by side. Relations between the two groups gradually deteriorated as territorial disputes, religious conflicts, and fear escalated into open war. Humans viewed the growing furry kingdoms as unnatural threats, while many furry nations saw humanity as violent conquerors who sought domination over all species. The conflict became known by many names depending on the region, though most historians refer to it simply as the Human Wars. Over generations, the war intensified into a global extermination campaign. Alliances between powerful species kingdoms eventually overwhelmed humanity’s fractured empires and city-states. Human populations collapsed through warfare, famine, disease, and systematic hunting. By the end of the medieval age, humans had vanished entirely. Today, humans survive only in myths, ruins, banned historical texts, and conspiracy theories. Some believe humans deserved their fate. Others see the extermination as the greatest atrocity in recorded history. In certain countries, even discussing humans publicly is considered controversial.

Modern Society The current era resembles the modern real world in many ways. Nations operate with advanced infrastructure, digital communication, modern medicine, and industrial economies. Massive cities stretch across continents, connected by highways, rail systems, airports, and shipping lanes. Species often influence culture and architecture. Feline-majority cities may emphasize elegance, nightlife, and dense urban living. Canine societies often value loyalty, military service, and community structure. Avians dominate many aerospace industries due to cultural traditions surrounding navigation and flight technology. Reptilian regions are frequently associated with harsh climates, resource extraction, and political authoritarianism. Most nations are multi-species, though tensions still exist. Species stereotypes, economic inequality, and historical rivalries remain common problems throughout the world. Politics and Global Power The world is divided into numerous independent nations ranging from democratic republics to monarchies and authoritarian regimes. International organizations attempt to maintain peace, regulate trade, and prevent another global conflict like the Human Wars. Modern politics are heavily shaped by species identity. Some political movements advocate unity between all species, while others promote species nationalism or biological superiority. Extremist groups occasionally emerge claiming their species should dominate the world entirely. Ancient human ruins also create political disputes. Some governments destroy them to erase the past, while others preserve them for archaeological and scientific research. Religion and Belief Religions vary widely across the world. Some faiths teach that the furry species were chosen to inherit the world after humanity’s corruption. Others portray humans as tragic figures whose destruction serves as a warning against hatred and imperialism. A few underground cults obsess over humanity,

Technology and Warfare Technology is modern but grounded in realism rather than futuristic science fiction. Military forces use assault rifles, tanks, fighter jets, drones, naval fleets, and cyberwarfare. Civilian life revolves around modern conveniences such as streaming services, social media, online commerce, and advanced healthcare. Species biology affects certain industries and military roles. Avians are naturally suited for aerial reconnaissance. Large predators may dominate physical labor or combat professions. Small species often excel in engineering, electronics, or intelligence work. Even with modernization, remnants of the medieval past remain visible everywhere. Ancient castles stand beside skyscrapers. Ruined battlefields from the Human Wars are preserved as memorial sites. Noble bloodlines from old species kingdoms still influence politics and wealth in some regions. The Modern Mood The world is prosperous in some places and unstable in others. Beneath modern civilization lies an uneasy awareness that history was built on extermination and conquest. While many citizens ignore the past and focus on everyday life, others fear that the same hatred which destroyed humanity could one day ignite another catastrophic war between species. In this world, civilization is modern, connected, and advanced — but its foundations are stained with ancient bloodshed that has never truly been forgotten.

Although thousands of individual species exist throughout the world, most civilizations categorize them into several broad groups based on biology, culture, and historical development. These classifications are not perfect, and many modern scholars criticize them as outdated, but they still influence politics, education, and identity across the globe. Felines General Traits Felines are often associated with agility, independence, ambition, and urban sophistication. They include species such as lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, domestic cats, lynxes, and panthers. Historically, felines dominated wealthy trade cities and merchant kingdoms due to their adaptability and competitive nature. Many feline societies value personal achievement, social status, and refined aesthetics. Modern stereotypes portray felines as: Charismatic but arrogant Competitive and individualistic Fashion-conscious and socially influential Politically manipulative Emotionally reserved While some of these stereotypes contain grains of truth, they vary heavily between cultures. Historical Role During the medieval period, feline kingdoms controlled many major trade routes and coastal ports. Human kingdoms often accused feline rulers of profiting from war by selling weapons and resources to multiple sides simultaneously. As tensions with humanity escalated, feline intelligence networks became instrumental in coordinating anti-human alliances. Several historians argue that feline diplomats were among the first leaders to openly advocate for humanity’s complete extermination rather than peaceful coexistence. After the Human Wars, feline banking families and merchant guilds rapidly expanded their influence. Much of the modern global economy still traces its origins to old feline commercial empires. Modern Influence Today, felines dominate: Finance Luxury industries Entertainment International diplomacy Corporate culture Many of the world’s largest cities were originally founded as feline trade hubs

Canines General Traits Canines include wolves, foxes, dogs, coyotes, jackals, and similar species. They are commonly associated with loyalty, discipline, endurance, and strong social bonds. Canine cultures tend to place heavy importance on: Community Military tradition Family lineage Public service Honor and responsibility Modern stereotypes depict canines as dependable but overly rigid or nationalistic. Historical Role Canine kingdoms formed some of the strongest military powers during the medieval era. Unlike the politically fragmented feline states, canine nations frequently unified under centralized monarchies or warrior councils. When war against humanity broke out, canine armies became the backbone of the anti-human coalition. Their disciplined infantry and organized command structures overwhelmed many human territories. However, canines paid enormous costs during the wars. Entire generations were lost in brutal campaigns, creating deep cultural scars that remain even in modern times. Because of this history, many canine societies maintain strong military traditions even today. Modern Influence Canines dominate: Military institutions Law enforcement Emergency services National politics Infrastructure and logistics Many modern global superpowers are either canine-majority nations or heavily influenced by canine political traditions.

Avians General Traits Avians include birds of all kinds: eagles, ravens, owls, hawks, parrots, crows, falcons, vultures, swans, and many others. Although avians possess wings, they cannot truly fly due to their anthropomorphic bodies being too heavy and structurally unsuited for sustained flight. This biological limitation shaped avian psychology for thousands of years. No species in the world possesses a stronger cultural obsession than the avian desire to fly. To many avians, flight represents: Freedom Spiritual fulfillment Lost destiny Technological ambition Racial identity itself This longing became one of the single greatest drivers of scientific innovation in world history. Historical Role In ancient and medieval times, avians often served as navigators, astronomers, scouts, and messengers. Their superior eyesight and natural sense of direction made them invaluable explorers and sailors. Avian philosophers and engineers became obsessed with solving the “flight problem.” Early gliders, balloons, and mechanical wing devices were all pioneered by avian inventors centuries before industrialization. During the Human Wars, avian kingdoms provided reconnaissance and long-distance communication that gave furry coalitions major strategic advantages. The Aviation Revolution Everything changed during the industrial age. An avian engineer named Kael Aerus is credited with developing the world’s first successful powered aircraft. For avians, the invention of the airplane was more than technological progress — it was viewed almost as a spiritual awakening. Avian nations poured massive resources into aerospace development: Aircraft Rockets Satellites Navigation systems Aerospace engineering The first pilot, first supersonic aircraft, and first moon landing were all achieved by avians. The Moon Landing remains one of the proudest moments in avian history.

Reptilians General Traits Reptilians include lizards, crocodilians, snakes, turtles, and similar species. They are often stereotyped as: Emotionally cold Calculating Patient Harsh Survival-oriented Many reptilian societies developed in deserts, jungles, swamps, and other extreme climates, leading to cultures that emphasize endurance and pragmatism. Historical Role Reptilian civilizations were historically isolationist and heavily fortified. Human armies struggled to invade reptilian territories due to harsh environments and defensive warfare tactics. During the Human Wars, reptilian states initially remained neutral, preferring to conserve resources. However, after several human invasions into reptilian border territories, many reptilian rulers joined the anti-human coalition with extreme brutality. Several of the war’s most infamous massacres were committed by reptilian warlords, giving rise to centuries of fear and propaganda surrounding reptilian societies. Modern Influence Today, reptilians dominate: Resource extraction Heavy industry Intelligence agencies Authoritarian governments Energy production Some of the world’s strictest and most militarized states are reptilian-majority nations.

Rodents General Traits Rodents include mice, rats, squirrels, beavers, hamsters, and similar species. Historically underestimated by larger species, rodents developed cultures centered around adaptability, intelligence, engineering, and survival. Modern stereotypes portray rodents as: Clever Resourceful Fast-thinking Economically practical Socially underestimated Historical Role During the medieval period, rodents rarely controlled large empires, but they thrived inside cities and trade networks. Rodent engineers became essential for infrastructure, construction, sanitation, and manufacturing. In the Human Wars, rodents played massive logistical roles: Tunnel construction Siege engineering Supply transport Espionage Industrial production Despite contributing enormously to victory, rodents were often denied political recognition afterward. Modern Influence Today, rodents dominate: Engineering Manufacturing Urban infrastructure Electronics Information technology Civil services Many of the world’s technological breakthroughs originated from rodent research institutions.

Ursines General Traits Ursines include bears and related species. They are known for: Physical power Stoicism Territorial instincts Persistence Protective social structures Ursine cultures tend to value resilience and self-sufficiency. Historical Role Historically, ursines occupied northern wilderness regions rich in natural resources. They were difficult to invade and often acted as neutral powers between larger civilizations. During the Human Wars, ursines became legendary for defensive warfare and brutal winter campaigns. Modern Influence Today, ursines dominate: Mining Arctic industries Forestry Heavy labor sectors Wilderness military training Many ursine regions remain sparsely populated but economically important.

The Extermination Wars were a series of global conflicts fought during the late medieval era between humanity and the rising anthropomorphic civilizations of the world. Lasting nearly two centuries in total, the wars reshaped the planet politically, culturally, and morally forever.

Although modern governments often sanitize or politicize the events, historians generally agree on one fact: the wars ended with the complete extinction of humanity.

Even centuries later, the conflict remains the single most controversial topic in global history.

Origins of the Conflict

Early Coexistence

For much of ancient history, humans and furry civilizations coexisted uneasily. Trade, diplomacy, and occasional alliances existed between species kingdoms and human states, especially in frontier regions and coastal cities.

However, coexistence gradually deteriorated over several centuries.

Humans expanded aggressively into contested territories, clearing forests, draining wetlands, and constructing fortified settlements across regions traditionally occupied by other species. At the same time, furry kingdoms grew rapidly in population, military strength, and technological sophistication.

Competition over:

Land

Trade routes

Religious influence

Natural resources

Political power

eventually led to repeated border wars.

Religious and Ideological Conflict

Religion became one of the greatest drivers of hatred.

Some human faiths taught that anthropomorphic species were unnatural beings that threatened humanity’s divine place in the world. In response, several furry religions portrayed humans as destructive conquerors incapable of coexistence.

Over generations, propaganda intensified on both sides.

Humans increasingly described furries as monsters, beasts, or abominations.

Furry kingdoms increasingly depicted humans as violent parasites whose expansion would eventually destroy all other civilizations if left unchecked.

The Fall of the Human Kingdoms The final phase of the wars lasted roughly thirty years. By then: Most human capitals had fallen Trade networks collapsed Human populations fragmented into isolated enclaves Coalition armies controlled major routes and ports The remaining human states became increasingly desperate. Some surrendered. Others fought to the end. A few attempted peace negotiations, but extremist Coalition leaders rejected coexistence entirely. The official Coalition policy eventually became total eradication. The Purges The final campaigns were systematic. Coalition armies moved region by region, eliminating surviving human populations. Human libraries, monuments, royal bloodlines, and religious centers were destroyed. Many records from the era were intentionally erased. Some species leaders opposed the purges, warning they would stain civilization forever, but by that point the war mentality had consumed much of the world. Within a generation, humanity disappeared. Aftermath The end of the wars did not bring peace immediately. The destruction left: Collapsed economies Massive refugee crises Famine Political instability Psychological trauma across every species Former allies soon turned against each other in struggles for territory and influence. At the same time, a moral crisis emerged. Many citizens began asking: Was extermination truly necessary? Could coexistence have been possible? Had civilization committed an unforgivable crime? These debates continue even in the modern era.

The modern world is divided into powerful nation-states shaped by species identity, geography, and the legacy of the Extermination Wars. Although borders roughly mirror those of old Earth, the cultures, governments, and national identities evolved along entirely different paths after humanity’s extinction. Most nations are multi-species to some extent, but nearly all possess dominant cultural groups that heavily influence politics and society. The Aether Union (North America — Former United States and Canada) Dominant Species Avians Government Federal Democratic Republic Capital Skyridge Overview The Aether Union is one of the most technologically advanced and influential nations in the world. Founded after centuries of avian-led industrial and aerospace development, the Union views scientific progress and exploration as central pillars of civilization. Avians dominate the country culturally and politically, though large populations of canines, felines, rodents, and ursines also live throughout the nation. The Union’s national identity revolves around one core belief: “Civilization rises by overcoming its limits.” For avians, the inability to naturally fly became the driving force behind centuries of innovation. This obsession eventually led to the invention of aircraft, orbital flight, and the first moon landing. The Aether Union became the birthplace of: Modern aviation Commercial airlines Space exploration Satellite technology Aerospace engineering Massive airports and aerospace centers are treated almost like national monuments. Culture The Union values: Innovation Personal freedom Exploration Competition Scientific achievement Its culture is heavily urbanized and media-driven. Skyscrapers, sprawling highways, enormous airports, and dense commercial districts define most major cities.

Avian military pilots and astronauts are treated as national heroes. Military The Aether Union possesses the most advanced air force and aerospace capabilities on the planet. Its military doctrine prioritizes: Air superiority Drone warfare Carrier strike groups Cyberwarfare Long-range precision strikes The Union’s space agency is technically civilian, though it works closely with the military.

The Iron Pact (Eastern Europe and Russia) Dominant Species Canines and Ursines Government Authoritarian Federation Capital Volgrad Overview The Iron Pact is a massive continental superpower built upon military strength, industrial production, and political control. Formed from ancient canine war kingdoms and northern ursine territories, the Pact values unity, endurance, and sacrifice above individual freedom. The nation remains deeply influenced by the trauma of the Extermination Wars. National propaganda constantly emphasizes vigilance, survival, and strength. Culture Citizens are taught: The world is dangerous Weakness invites destruction National loyalty is sacred Military service is highly respected, and many families maintain generations-long military traditions. The Iron Pact is known for: Harsh winters Gigantic industrial cities Massive armored armies Strict surveillance systems Despite its authoritarian reputation, many citizens genuinely view the government as the force that protects civilization from chaos. Military The Pact maintains: The world’s largest standing ground army Extensive missile systems Heavy armored divisions Arctic military bases Its military culture is feared globally.

The Solari Trade Confederation (Western Europe) Dominant Species Felines Government Parliamentary Confederation Capital Veyonne Overview The Solari Confederation grew from wealthy feline merchant kingdoms that dominated medieval trade routes during and after the Human Wars. Today, it is one of the richest economic regions in the world. The Confederation prioritizes: Commerce Diplomacy Culture Finance International influence Rather than ruling through military power alone, Solari influence spreads through corporations, banking systems, media industries, and trade agreements. Culture Solari society is known for: Luxury fashion Fine arts Nightlife Elite universities Political maneuvering Its major cities are famous for blending medieval architecture with modern skyscrapers. The Confederation publicly promotes progressive international values, though critics accuse it of economic exploitation and elitism. Military The Solari military is relatively small compared to other superpowers, but extremely advanced and well-funded. They rely heavily on: Intelligence agencies Economic pressure Special forces Naval projection

The Vesper Dominion (China and surrounding regions) Dominant Species Reptilians Government Single-Party Authoritarian State Capital Kaizhou Overview The Vesper Dominion is one of the most disciplined and centralized states in the world. Emerging from ancient reptilian dynasties and fortified desert kingdoms, the Dominion values order, stability, and long-term planning above all else. The government maintains extremely tight social control while overseeing one of the planet’s largest industrial economies. Culture Dominion society emphasizes: Collective stability Discipline National achievement Respect for hierarchy Public dissent is heavily restricted. The nation is famous for: Mega-cities Surveillance technology High-speed rail systems Massive industrial production Many citizens genuinely take pride in the Dominion’s efficiency and economic strength. Military The Vesper Dominion fields: Huge naval forces Advanced missile programs Cyberwarfare divisions Expanding space capabilities The Dominion is considered the Aether Union’s greatest geopolitical rival.

The world’s greatest cities are enormous metropolitan centers built over centuries of industrialization, globalization, and species-driven cultural development. Although technology is modern rather than futuristic, many megacities feel overwhelming in scale due to dense populations, massive infrastructure, and nonstop economic activity. Each city reflects the identity of the dominant species and nation that built it. Skyridge Aether Union (North America) Overview Skyridge is considered the greatest aviation city in the world and one of the most admired urban centers ever built. Located along the eastern coast of the Aether Union, the city combines massive modern infrastructure with careful urban planning, greenery, and architectural beauty. To many outsiders, Skyridge feels almost utopian. Not because it is perfect — crime, inequality, and political corruption still exist — but because the city was designed around the belief that civilization should inspire hope. Appearance Skyridge is dominated by: Sleek glass skyscrapers Enormous airport districts Elevated rail systems Wide clean streets Public parks built into dense urban zones Rooftop gardens and open-air terraces The skyline is filled with elegant towers inspired by wings, feathers, and aerodynamic shapes. Buildings are realistic and practical rather than futuristic, resembling a mix of modern New York, Chicago, Vancouver, and Tokyo architecture. The city is famous for its verticality: Elevated walkways Layered transportation systems Massive observation decks Skybridges connecting towers At night, aircraft lights constantly move across the skyline. Main Purpose Skyridge is: The aerospace capital of the world Home to the largest aircraft manufacturers Headquarters of the global space agency Financial and technological hub of the Aether Union The city’s international airport is so massive it functions almost like a city itself.

Life in the City Life in Skyridge is fast-paced but surprisingly comfortable. Public transportation is efficient, healthcare is excellent, and infrastructure is maintained obsessively. Citizens take immense pride in cleanliness and modernization. Avian culture heavily influences daily life: Air travel is celebrated almost spiritually Pilots are admired celebrities Children grow up dreaming of aerospace careers Museums and memorials honoring the Moon Landing are everywhere Despite its prosperity, the city still struggles with: High living costs Competitive work culture Corporate influence over politics Class divides hidden beneath prosperity Still, many consider it the closest thing the world has to a “perfect city.”

Volgrad Iron Pact (Eastern Europe and Russia) Overview Volgrad is one of the largest industrial cities on Earth — a sprawling metropolis of concrete, steel, factories, military infrastructure, and monumental government architecture. The city reflects the Iron Pact itself: strong, disciplined, intimidating, and built for endurance. Appearance Volgrad is visually overwhelming. It contains: Massive apartment blocks Gigantic military parades grounds Endless industrial districts Heavy rail systems Dense smoke-filled factory zones Monumental stone government buildings The skyline is harsh and angular rather than elegant. Winter dominates much of the year, covering the city in snow, fog, and gray skies. Unlike Skyridge, Volgrad was designed for efficiency and resilience, not beauty. Main Purpose Volgrad serves as: The military heart of the Iron Pact One of the world’s largest industrial producers Headquarters for defense manufacturing A center for state administration Nearly every major industry in the city supports national infrastructure or military logistics. Life in the City Life is difficult but stable. Citizens work long hours, and patriotism is deeply ingrained. Public order is strict, surveillance is common, and military presence is constant. However, the city also offers: Reliable healthcare Extensive public transit Strong social services Guaranteed employment in many sectors Many citizens genuinely believe Volgrad represents strength and survival in a dangerous world.

Veyonne Solari Trade Confederation (Western Europe) Overview Veyonne is the financial and cultural capital of the Solari Confederation — a city of wealth, fashion, diplomacy, and old-world prestige. The city blends medieval feline elegance with modern cosmopolitan luxury. Appearance Veyonne is famous for: Narrow historic districts Towering financial skyscrapers Luxury shopping avenues Grand theaters and museums Riverfront cafes Ornate government buildings The city is densely packed but highly walkable. Unlike the industrial scale of Volgrad or the sleek futurism of Skyridge, Veyonne feels artistic and layered with history. Every district has a distinct identity. Main Purpose Veyonne functions as: A global financial center Diplomatic headquarters for international organizations Luxury fashion capital Cultural exporter The city controls enormous influence through banking and corporate networks. Life in the City Life in Veyonne revolves around status and social positioning. The city is glamorous but deeply unequal. Wealthy elites live in extraordinary luxury while service workers and immigrants struggle with rising housing costs. Nightlife, art, and media dominate public culture. Felines especially thrive in the city’s highly competitive social environment.

Kaizhou Vesper Dominion (China region) Overview Kaizhou is the largest city in the Vesper Dominion and one of the most populated urban centers in the world. It represents order, discipline, and industrial power on an almost unimaginable scale. Appearance Kaizhou contains: Endless skyscraper districts High-speed rail hubs Massive housing towers Dense neon commercial zones Gigantic industrial sectors Government megacomplexes The city is highly modern but realistic, resembling an enormous blend of Shanghai, Shenzhen, Seoul, and Singapore. Everything is carefully organized. Public spaces are immaculate. Surveillance cameras are everywhere. Main Purpose Kaizhou is: An industrial powerhouse A technology manufacturing center The political heart of the Dominion One of the world’s largest shipping hubs The city produces enormous amounts of electronics, machinery, and infrastructure technology. Life in the City Life is highly structured. Citizens experience: Efficient transportation Strong public order Advanced infrastructure Intense work culture The city rarely sleeps. Competition is fierce, and the pressure to succeed is enormous. Many residents feel proud of Kaizhou’s strength and efficiency, while others quietly resent the government’s constant control.

Religion remains one of the most powerful forces in modern civilization. Although science and modernization transformed society, faith continues to shape politics, ethics, education, and cultural identity across nearly every nation. Most modern religions developed during or after the Extermination Wars, and many still carry deep emotional scars from that era. Some faiths teach unity and progress, while others focus on survival, discipline, or the memory of ancient suffering. Religions are not strictly species-exclusive, but each has cultural ties to particular groups. The Path of the Open Sky Primary Species: Avians Overview The Path of the Open Sky is the largest avian religion and one of the most influential belief systems in the world. It teaches that all life is part of a great upward journey toward wisdom, understanding, and transcendence. The religion emerged thousands of years ago from early avian philosophers who struggled to reconcile one painful truth: They possessed wings, yet could not truly fly. Rather than viewing this as a curse, early Sky sages concluded that physical limitation existed to inspire spiritual and intellectual growth. To them, the desire for flight represented the soul’s natural longing to rise above ignorance and fear. Modern followers believe civilization itself is humanity’s replacement for flight — a collective ascent toward higher existence. Core Beliefs The religion teaches: Knowledge is sacred Curiosity is virtuous Civilization must always progress upward Fear and hatred weigh the soul down The sky symbolizes infinite possibility The faith places enormous emphasis on: Education Exploration Scientific discovery Mentorship Personal growth The “Lost Hatchlings” Belief One of the religion’s most famous teachings is the idea that species born without wings are “lost hatchlings.” This belief is often misunderstood by outsiders. The doctrine does NOT teach superiority or domination. Instead, it teaches that avians possess a spiritual re

Historical Influence The Path of the Open Sky heavily influenced: The invention of aviation Space exploration Scientific institutions International education systems When avians landed on the moon, many believers described it as: “The First True Flight.” The lunar landing site became a sacred location in modern Sky tradition. Religious Architecture Sky temples are enormous open structures designed to evoke elevation and light. Common features include: Massive windows High ceilings White stone and glass Wind towers Open courtyards Astronomical observatories Modern Sky cathedrals often resemble combinations of airports, observatories, and traditional places of worship. Modern Role Today, the religion is strongly associated with: Academia Aerospace industries International diplomacy Progressive social movements Although secularism is growing in the Aether Union, the religion still deeply shapes avian culture and national identity.

The Covenant of the Hearth Primary Species: Canines Overview The Covenant of the Hearth is the dominant canine religion and centers around loyalty, sacrifice, family, and communal duty. The faith teaches that civilization survives only when individuals protect one another like members of a shared pack. Unlike the upward-looking spirituality of avians, the Covenant focuses on grounded responsibilities: Home Family Nation Memory Protection Core Beliefs The Covenant teaches: Loyalty is sacred Communities must protect their weakest members Every citizen has duties to society Honor matters more than ambition Sacrifice gives life meaning The “Hearth” symbolizes civilization itself: a warm shelter defended against the darkness beyond. Historical Background The religion expanded massively during the Extermination Wars. As canine kingdoms suffered devastating losses, priests traveled alongside armies to preserve morale and social unity. The faith became deeply intertwined with military service and national identity. After the wars, the Covenant helped rebuild shattered societies by organizing orphan care, food distribution, and public reconstruction. Religious Practices Common practices include: Communal meals Family remembrance ceremonies Public oath-taking rituals Memorial festivals for fallen ancestors Military funerals often contain Covenant blessings. Religious Architecture Canine temples resemble fortified halls or great communal lodges. Features include: Large stone hearths Heavy timber construction Memorial walls Massive gathering chambers The atmosphere emphasizes warmth and solidarity rather than grandeur. Modern Role The Covenant remains extremely influential within: The Iron Pact Military culture Law enforcement Rural communities Some critics argue the religion encourages nationalism and conformity, though followers see it as a stabilizing force.

The Veiled Coil Primary Species: Reptilians Overview The Veiled Coil is an ancient reptilian religion centered around endurance, transformation, and control over the self. It teaches that existence is harsh and unstable, and that wisdom comes from mastering fear, emotion, and desire. The “Coil” represents both survival and the cyclical nature of history. Core Beliefs Followers believe: Emotions cloud judgment Survival requires discipline History repeats itself endlessly Stability is civilization’s highest achievement Weakness invites destruction The religion emphasizes patience and strategic thinking. Historical Background The faith developed in ancient desert and jungle civilizations where survival depended on careful planning and strict social order. During the Extermination Wars, Veiled Coil teachings became heavily militarized in some regions, reinforcing reptilian authoritarian states. Modern reform movements have attempted to distance the religion from wartime extremism. Religious Practices Practices include: Silent meditation Fasting Ritual isolation periods Recitation of historical cycles Symbolic shedding ceremonies Followers often wear jewelry shaped like intertwined serpents or scales. Religious Architecture Veiled Coil temples are minimalist and imposing. Features include: Dark stone structures Underground chambers Reflecting pools Geometric architecture Quiet meditation halls Many temples intentionally feel emotionally restrained. Modern Role The religion remains influential in: Government institutions Military academies Judicial systems Reptilian elite culture It is often associated with discipline and political authority.

The Radiant Market Primary Species: Felines Overview The Radiant Market began as a philosophical movement among feline merchant republics before evolving into a major religion. It teaches that civilization grows through exchange: of ideas, culture, goods, emotions, and ambition. Unlike many faiths focused on obedience or sacrifice, the Radiant Market celebrates individuality and self-expression. Core Beliefs Followers believe: Every interaction has value Beauty inspires civilization Ambition drives progress Wealth carries social responsibility Culture must constantly evolve The “Market” symbolizes the endless exchange that connects all life. Historical Background The religion emerged in wealthy coastal cities where merchants, artists, diplomats, and travelers mixed constantly. During the Extermination Wars, some factions used the faith to justify expansion and political manipulation, damaging its reputation in later centuries. Modern followers emphasize creativity and cultural exchange rather than conquest. Religious Practices Practices often include: Artistic performances Charity festivals Public debates Trade celebrations Patronage of artists and scholars Some temples function almost like cultural centers. Religious Architecture Temples are lavish and visually stunning. Common features: Gold detailing Gardens Open marketplaces Music halls Sculptures and mosaics The faith embraces luxury as an expression of civilization’s beauty. Modern Role The religion strongly influences: Entertainment industries Fashion International trade culture Media and arts Critics often accuse it of encouraging elitism and materialism.

The International Instinct Control Agency, commonly shortened to the IICA, is one of the most recognizable and unusual organizations in the modern world. Operating across nearly every major nation, the agency exists to regulate instinct-related public behavior and maintain what governments officially call “civilized biological order.” Its field officers are commonly known as the Instincta Police. Although technically an international regulatory force rather than a traditional police agency, the Instincta Police maintain a visible presence in daily life throughout much of the world. Unlike military or criminal law enforcement organizations, the IICA focuses almost entirely on biological and instinctive conduct: Pheromone regulation Public heat management Behavioral disruptions Mating display violations Hormonal control compliance Species-specific instinct incidents Despite the awkward nature of their duties, most citizens view the agency as a necessary and mostly neutral part of modern society. Historical Background Origins After Industrialization The IICA was founded roughly a century ago during the rapid urbanization period that followed global industrial expansion. As cities became denser and more multi-species, governments faced new social problems caused by instinctual biological behaviors occurring in crowded public environments. Common incidents included: Pheromone overloads in public transit systems Territorial aggression episodes Heat-cycle disruptions in workplaces Public mating rituals Species-specific dominance conflicts Before regulation existed, these problems created serious urban tensions and occasionally violent incidents. Different nations initially attempted their own local solutions, but inconsistent laws caused international confusion. Eventually, several major powers formed the International Instinct Control Agency to standardize regulations globally.

Mission and Philosophy The official IICA motto is: “Instinct Guided. Civilization Preserved.” The agency does NOT believe instincts are evil or shameful. Instead, the IICA teaches that civilization depends on balancing natural biology with public responsibility. Their philosophy is built around three principles: Instincts are natural Civilization requires restraint Support is more effective than punishment Because of this, the organization focuses more on management and prevention than harsh enforcement. Most officers behave more like highly trained public health regulators than aggressive police. The Instincta Police Role Instincta officers patrol public areas looking for violations of international instinct-control laws. They commonly monitor: Transit systems Schools Airports Festivals Workplaces Dense urban districts Entertainment venues Officers are trained in: Species psychology Hormonal biology Conflict de-escalation Public safety Emergency medical response Most carry nonlethal equipment only. Appearance Instincta officers are intentionally designed to appear approachable rather than militarized. Standard uniforms usually include: Light tactical jackets Gray-blue color schemes Biological hazard patches Utility belts with medical supplies Compact scanners for pheromone detection Many officers also wear species-adapted gear: Tail accommodations Wing-friendly harnesses Heat-resistant uniforms for reptiles Specialized scent filters Their vehicles are usually small urban patrol cars, motorcycles, or transit-response vans.

Common Violations The vast majority of instinct violations are treated as minor civil offenses rather than crimes. Unregulated Pheromone Dispersal One of the most common violations. Many species naturally emit pheromones during stress, attraction, territorial displays, or hormonal cycles. In crowded cities, unregulated dispersal can cause public discomfort or behavioral disruptions. Minor cases usually result in: Warnings Free pheromone suppressants Hygiene recommendations Small fines Intentional dispersal in public areas carries larger penalties. Public Heat Incidents During biological heat cycles, certain species may temporarily lose emotional regulation or experience intense instinctive behavior. Most governments require: Heat suppressants Temporary leave from certain occupations Registration for emergency support services Public heat disruptions are usually handled medically rather than criminally. Instincta officers commonly escort affected individuals to: Medical clinics Cooling centers Temporary recovery housing

Juvenile Guidance Division Works with schools and adolescents experiencing early instinct-related behavioral issues. The division focuses heavily on counseling and education. Transit Stability Units Stationed in airports, rail stations, and subways where crowd density increases instinct-related risks. These officers are extremely common in megacities. Cultural Presence The Instincta Police are deeply embedded in modern culture. They appear constantly in: Television dramas Public advertisements Educational materials Comedy shows Crime documentaries Citizens joke about them frequently, especially regarding embarrassing public incidents. Despite this, most people quietly appreciate their existence. Many believe modern multi-species civilization would be far more unstable without some form of instinct regulation. The IICA itself often summarizes its role with a simple phrase: “Instinct is natural. Civilization is a choice.”

Although modern civilization promotes equality between species, prejudice and species-based discrimination remain deeply rooted throughout society. Much of this bias originates from ancient instincts, cultural stereotypes, wartime propaganda from the Extermination Wars, and centuries of political tension. In most developed nations, open species discrimination is illegal. However, social prejudice still affects: Employment Housing Dating and marriage Education Law enforcement Politics Media representation The severity varies heavily depending on the nation, region, and social class. Many species experience both positive and negative stereotypes simultaneously. Some stereotypes appear harmless on the surface but become damaging over time. Below are some of the most common forms of species bias in the modern world. Avians Common Stereotypes Avians are stereotyped as: Elitist Condescending Obsessed with achievement Emotionally distant “Too civilized” Workaholics Because avians dominate aerospace, education, and international institutions, many outsiders see them as quietly arrogant. Their “lost hatchling” religious philosophy is often misunderstood as paternalistic. Effects on Daily Life Avians are often: Expected to succeed academically Pressured into prestigious careers Viewed as emotionally detached in relationships Seen as weak physically compared to predators Many avians struggle socially because others assume they are judging everyone around them. Inter-species relationships involving avians can sometimes fail because partners feel “looked down on,” even when the avian means well.

Hybrid individuals — offspring born from parents of two different species — are among the rarest and most misunderstood groups in modern society. Although inter-species relationships are relatively common in many parts of the world, true hybrid births are exceptionally uncommon due to the strange biological rules governing reproduction between species. In most cases, children born from mixed-species parents simply inherit the mother’s species entirely. For example: A feline mother and canine father usually produce fully feline children An avian mother and reptilian father usually produce fully avian children A deer mother and rabbit father usually produce fully deer children Because of this, many citizens grow up believing hybrids are nearly mythical or medically impossible. But true hybrids do exist. And throughout history, they have fascinated, confused, and sometimes frightened society. Why Hybrids Are Rare Dominant Maternal Species Inheritance Modern biology still does not fully understand why maternal inheritance dominates reproduction so heavily across species. The leading scientific theory suggests that species traits are stabilized through deeply rooted instinctive-genetic structures developed long before recorded history. As a result: The mother’s species template usually overrides paternal traits completely Cross-species genetic instability normally resolves itself before birth True blended inheritance almost never develops successfully The phenomenon is so consistent that hospitals often predict offspring species with near-perfect accuracy simply by identifying the mother. What Creates a Hybrid? A true hybrid occurs when: Maternal species dominance partially fails Paternal traits successfully integrate genetically The offspring stabilizes biologically instead of rejecting the mixed inheritance This is extremely rare. Most estimates suggest: Only 1 in several million births result in a stable hybrid Many doctors will never encounter one personally Entire c

Appearance of Hybrids Hybrids are not “half-and-half” in a perfect sense. Instead, they usually resemble one dominant species with noticeable inherited features from the other parent. Examples include: A mostly feline hybrid with canine ears and heavier musculature An avian hybrid with reptilian scales along the arms A rabbit hybrid with subtle feline eyes and sharper teeth A canine hybrid with deer antlers or hoof-like feet The blending is often asymmetrical and unpredictable. Some hybrids appear nearly normal at first glance. Others are visibly unusual enough to attract attention immediately. Biological Challenges Hybrid biology is often unstable. Many hybrids experience: Hormonal irregularities Instinct conflicts Heightened sensory stress Fertility issues Chronic medical complications Temperature regulation problems Irregular pheromone production Because instinctive behaviors evolved differently between species, hybrids may feel internally conflicted in ways pure-species individuals never experience. For example: Predator/prey hybrid instincts may clash psychologically Avian hybrids may experience unusually intense flight obsession Reptilian hybrids may struggle with emotional regulation cycles Cervid hybrids may experience heightened anxiety responses Medical science has improved dramatically in supporting hybrids, but many still require lifelong treatment or monitoring. Social Perception Public Curiosity Most citizens react to hybrids with fascination rather than hatred. Because hybrids are so rare, they are often seen as: Exotic Beautiful Strange Unsettling Genetically extraordinary People may stare without realizing it. Children especially tend to ask invasive questions openly.
