The Canine Society - About

The Canine's Monarchy is the most structured of all the kingdoms'. They are the most heavily populated of all the kingdoms, too, but they can be extremely closed-minded. Though they do not worship a personified deity, they firmly believe that there is a greater, omnipotent, heavenly being, and that they should serve it by vanquishing evil and doing all in the name of "the light"(term used to refer to said spirit).

At the top of the Canine's pecking order are the wolves. White wolves, to be precise. In the eyes of the Canines, white fur is an sign of being touched by "the light", and therefore, white Canines are the most divine among them. Wolves have always been the royal family (no one is quite sure how this originated, but no one really questions it). Over time, the royal wolves began mating with white wolves, in belief it would make their reigns more righteous. Eventually, the entire royal family was made up of white wolves.

Arctic foxes are the royal advisors, mostly, since the foxes are the most cunning of all the Canines, and because they are the only breed of fox that comes in white.

Dogs of all breeds make up the Canines' middle class, work force, and army, along with African Wild Dogs and Dingos.

Coyotes are the Canines' messengers, since they can exhibit extreme endurance over tough terrains. On occasion, foxes serve as messengers, as well.

Jackals are the lowest class of the Canines, and are usually servants. They can be sneaky, and conniving, so they are kept on tight leashes (no pun intended). When Jackals are a year old, they are expected to begin work as a servant.
