Dog

Dogs are common canid mammals kept as working animals and pets throughout the Civilised World. They are particularly used in hunting, to bring down game or locate animals shot by arrow. They are also to guard homes, and for companionship.

Dogs are sometimes slaughtered for meat, particularly amongst the Li-Bam peoples of Munatanplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigMunatan

Munatan [Moo-Nah-Tahn] is the southernmost region of Anásthias, south of the Dun Trisan mountains. The name possibly derives from a ancient Thalsic, meaning “Land of One Sun”, since the daystar is not visible in the southern hemisphere. Or it may be a reference to the Manthi people who were once the majority population of western Munatan. The term is an OrorrOrorrOrorrHartheraHartheraOrorrOrorrOrorrHartheraHartheraHartheran. Eating dog meat has fallen out of favour in most of the Civilised World, and is confined to feasts and special occasions in modern Munatan.

In the ancient civilisation of Miyarris, dogs were highest of the animal kin, most sacred to the Godmenplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigGodmen

The Godmen were the mythical inhabitants of a landmass contiguous with the modern Natorn Archipelago, said to be the ancestors of all the Thalsic peoples of the northern Civilised World. In the Emerald Epoch they created the first great civilisation, referred to as the Realm of the Godmen. The Godmen are said to be mytho-historic, memories of an ancestor race shrouded by millennia of HartheraAnrelAnrelherherAnrelAnrel, along with cats, hogs, whales, and the now extinct horsis.
