Do come, my dears, and take a look at all of the information written by the first dogs who became trapped on these islands. Rules, and other information are all labelled as such.

[justify]Island howls are given when there are announcements, or new contests being tossed about for you guys to read and/or participate in. So, feel free to check back again frequently.[/justify]

[justify]This is the staff room, but only staff members are actually allowed in here, so . . . I apologize, darlings . . . But, we usually share things with you guys anyways.[/justify]

[justify]Have you decided you want some more little fun things to play with? Perhaps your character wants a taste of home? A little ball, or maybe a small squeaky toy? Well, come here, it's pretty easy, recently cheap. Sand dollars are the current currency

Okay, guys, so you want to have a character on here. Well, feel free to come on in, and create your characters. We now ask that you wait for a staff member to accept your character before you begin roleplaying. Thanks!

[justify]Here are where all members of the Islands reside. Only members may see who, and who doesn't live here.

Males: 16 | Females: 20[/justify]

[justify]So you need someone to play a character for you in a plot? Or perhaps you need a dog's sibling made? Or maybe you're just looking for a plot in general? Well, regardless. Come here to find it![/justify]

[justify]Hmm, you know. Sometimes it comes that we just . . . can no longer play a character. Well, if you find yourself in that position, take them here. You can either adopt them out, or put them in an ice chamber until you can play them again! There is also a subboard in here that you may post in when a character dies.[/justify]

[justify]Puppies? Aww, who doesn't love having children with the one they love. Unless, of course, if that isn't how the children where created. Regardless, come here to have your puppies be created by a puppy-maker.[/justify]

[justify]Unfortunately, sometimes we like to go crazy, make characters, then forget who knows who. Who has what history. So, you can come here and make a journal, which is where you keep all the information on you dogs. Only one per member please![/justify]

[justify]Well, if you need a place to keep a tracker to remember who you're in at thread with, what threads there are and so on- and so forth, then feel free to post here to keep things moving with ease.[/justify]

With in this island, you have the main area that the pack resides. However, this island is hardly the sort you'd expect to find living canines on. This land is claimed by the dogs who call themselves the 'natives' they claim to the be the first canines on this place. This land is where they call their home, which is set up of a lot of floral vegetation, birds of exotic nature flying over the land. That sort of wild island beauty, but the island is named Firestorm for a reason. High, on the north end side of the island sits a Volcano that is constantly sending out gray smoke that trails in the sky. Rumor has it that the 'natives' control the volcano, and can contact the spirits with in it. So that only they will know when, and how bad any eruption will be.

On the opposite end of the island, as far from the volcano as can be reached, you find a beautiful beach. Waves echo gently over the clear, clean white sand, and the entire place has a very tropical feeling. It's a common place for members of the natives to meet and talk - and with the fish always swimming about - it's pretty easy to catch a good meal too.

These lands are perhaps the most beautiful on Firestorm Island. It lies on the west coast, where the beach is nothing more then a gentle slope into the ocean. However, it's not the view that's most extraordinary, when it's daylight. It's the magical twist this land takes on at night. As soon as the sun sets, the coral growing in the water all around this beach light up with vibrant, neon, glow in the dark colors that create a romantic, as well as a festive atmosphere. And it's not uncommon to see pups playing in the shallows, learning their way around the maze of coral that grows there, and further out.

Like any good ole dog, even the natives like their tricks, and their challenges, and there is nothing more challenging then climbing the volcano that their island is named for. At least once in a native's life, they spend time trecking up the side, just to stare down the mouth of the volcano. The air is hot, and constantly smoky - but you have to be careful. It's not un common to see sparks, and random spouts of lava and fire being tossed out of the volcano. And one large clump could easily mean a bad hair year, or worse; the end of a life.

Crater Island is named after the crater developed when an unidentified object hit the island millions of years ago. The land is mostly unknown - even to those who call Crater Island their own. However, the site of the crater is a well known area. thousands of caves and caverns have developed over time, giving homes to the Islanders who call this land home. The crater impact zone is their main place of homage, serving as meeting place, sleeping place, and as an area for any other general pack activity.

The most unique trait on this island is the odd sort of ancient 'burial ground' towards the most northern part of the island. The ground here is mostly desert, and for as far as the eye can see, skeletons are half buried, or completely unearthed on the land. It appears that for generations, animals of all species had made their way to these grounds to die. However, this is no longer happening, but many dogs still come here to stare at the bones of creatures past.

Another unique attraction to Crater Island is the abnormal land mark to the east of the island. There is a small, narrow strip of land that is usually covered with an inch of water (though when rain begins to fall this narrow strip of land is often washed out, and is also washed out during full moons). The strip is extremely slippery, but it is the only way to get to the sub island of Crater Island, which many suspect is the actual object that crashed into the island. The strip is also an excellent way of hunting, as it leaps right off into the ocean, and small fish are often around it, and jumping over it.

This heavy rock is connected to the Island by a small, narrow strip of land, and is rumored to be the cause of the crater on Crater Island. However, it is rare to find dogs here, and only the bravest venture forth. It is rumored that if you stay on it long enough, you will see strange floating objects, your fur will stand on end, and you will hear the voices of aliens who have traveled through the galaxies in the rock.

Starkissed Island is named for the nightly affect it has on it's dwellers. A heavy forest covers most of the island, so thick that only pin pricks of light get through, giving the canopy a star kissed effect. The land is full of life, flowering plants, birds, and small mammals, which create a wide variety of food for those who call this land home. It's the foreigners who cling to this nightly experience, and it's within their land that they tend to feel the most natural.

The Foreigners are led by Keenoko

If one was to focus long enough, they would hear the steady roar of water falling into a small pond. A series of rocky locations offer a unique way for water to travel to the canines of this land. The water tumbles from the top of a cliff, but the dense jungle make it appear is if it's coming straight out of the trees. The pond that the water had created is rather small, but supplies a nice drink for any dog who stumbles upon it.

Quiet, that is the one way to describe the ridge that leads up to the cliffs. It's oddly silent, almost eerily so. It's constantly in shadow, do to the fact that it's rare for sunlight to ever reach this ridge. This area is commonly used for training new arrivals in the ways of surviving in the dark. It's completely desolate, no water or animals to find, but if you can find your way back down, or work your way up you'll find yourself once more in the safety, and protection of the pack, and of the forest.

This den is found at the top of the cliff, hidden against a wall. Only the bravest can enter it's inky depths. It's always cold within, and eery noises come from its depths, sounding like whines, moans, screams, and violent gusts of wind. Many who go in do not come back out. According to the natives, the demon of the islands resides deep withing the den; a mammoth of a black dragon, who likes the taste of dog.

A mile thick circle of forest surrounds the plateau. An uneven coastline runs all the way around the island. A dog can't see the island from land until it swims out toward the island, once out in the water the island becomes visible. Small animals survive around the coast of the island in bushes, vines, and tall grass. Larger prey lives in the circular forest. Just be careful, not everyone may be friendly.

Located within the middle of the ocean lies an island. An island that has been uninhibited for years. The only living specimens on the island consist of canines of all breeds, sizes, and ages; and the random prey that keep the forests and mountain range on the island thriving. Though, many years ago, humans had once roamed the island. Not just any humans, but, mainly the deathly sick ones. The ones that were known to die from a deadly disease. An old, abandoned asylum continues to rest on the island reaching towards the heavens. The building is said to be one of the most haunted places in the world. Though, once one looks past the old, decrepit building, one will see a vast, dense forest. Beyond the dense forest, a medium-sized snow-capped mountain range stands erect, casting it's icy, snowy points towards the clouds.

picture a lush green oasis in the middle of a rainforest, but it's protected by sharp stones that jut out around it and most of the gaps a covered in vines and moss. only one gap has had the vines removed this is the entrance to the oasis of salubrious. most dogs cannot find this because it is hidden by over grown leaves, ferns and vines. the pack matron, shoshona, fond it simply by running after prey. she most immeadiatley knew she had found a good place. the onside looks as green as the outside. ferns and vine grow along the mossy walls ad form comfortable dens beneath. the pool of water has a good three meter diameter with a small island in the middle. this is where shoshona conducts all meetings.from the edge of the water to the wall is another three meters on most angles. with each gap in stone, there area couple of dens that could house families. the only gap that has one den is shoshona's gap. this is larger than all the dens. the nurses quarters are located under the ground, with at least three caves; one for supply, one for nurse housing and one for patent housing. Isolation is also found under ground. this area is for those who need time to their selves

In the shallows of Sensation Island is a wrecked ship, one of the ships, supposedly, that had carried some of the ancestors to many of the dogs on the Islands. It's not uncommon to see dogs walking, or swimming to the wreck, to explore, just as it's not all that uncommon to find fun toys, and accessories hidden on board.

Evergreens grow in wide abundance along this area, and both water and prey are easy to find. The branches of the trees offer shelter from sunshine, wind, and rain, which makes this land an ideal meeting place for pack members and loners alike. No harm can be dealt out here, as it is a place for sanctuary.[/justify]

Cattail beach is a huge span sand and water. The sand is a soft mix of white and pale cream, giving it a fantastic glow at night, and there is a small cave that goes under the beach, most canines go here to get out of the elements or to have privacy. The water is clear and you can see fish, most are easy to catch thus providing a meal.

This meadow is named for the usual full view of the sky. Usually it's brightly sunny in the area, although, rain and snow comes periodically. A river runs through the area, and flowers grow in abundance. Flowering fruit trees provide shelter from the heat, as well as a tasty treat.

Separating one end of the island from the other is a large canyon. The rocks create colorful layers, that shine like a sunset when light touches them, thus giving the canyon it's name. The gap is semi-wide, with a narrow river running through the center. Walking through the canyon is a rare experience, as there are numerous carved drawings from animals and dogs of the past. With immediate access to water and occasional prey available, added to the beauty of the place, it's no surprise dogs are often found here.

Thousands and thousands of miles worth of tunnels and caves can be found on Sensation Island. They stretch beneath the ocean floor, and can connect to the other islands as well, providing the best way to travel from Island to Island. Many of the tunnels are unexplored, and the likelihood of other islands and locations being found is constant. However, one must be careful, or risk being lost in these dark tunnels. Glowing Algae dimly lights the way, but they do not show an exit.
