Doggonians are anthropomorphic dogs that come in all shapes, sizes, and breeds. Most Doggonians are between 4 and 7 feet tall though some are as small as 2 feet tall or as big as 10 feet tall leading to a rather diverse community.

Doggonians themselves are responsible for their own current state of existence. Their ancestral homeland broke off ages ago from another plane of existence and was stabilized by their own combination of arcane, divine, and planar magicks. They are the decedents of what could be best described as a tribe of bi-pedal wolves often referred to in old texts as "Wolf-kin."

Habitat/Society

• As a race soaked in magic life spans vary from family to family, though the age of majority is consistently at 22.
  • Doggonian is considered done with their basic training in their chosen area of skill at the age of 22 and then go through a sacred coming of age ritual... i.e. jumping through one of the random portals that sort that have the habit of forming around the major magical nexuses in Reynsland. The purpose of this quest is to find as much information as possible about the location, broaden the individual's horizons, and eventually find out how to get back to the Doggonian home plane of Reynsland.
    • The only information they are given about the location they are to be sent to is that they most likely will not die upon entry, so preparation is important for the young Doggonian starting their journey, and they come kitted out in equipment custom to their particular build. Along with the blessing of their patron Reynard in the form of a 'Sigil of Reynard.'

Fun Facts

• EVERYONE loves Doggonians. People who don't have bad taste and are horrible people.

Old Stuff to modify/whatever

• Doggonians are a clever bunch as well as being rather agile. They originate from a pocket dimension that is a bit unstable and often forms portals in random locations in the planes. It's seen as a rite of passage for an adolescent Doggonians to go into one of the portals to seek their fortune armed with handmade equipment from their family, a 'Sigil of Reynard', and a '[[comuicompact.' The god that the majority of Doggonians worship is Reynard, the chaotic good giant celestial Bichon Frise. In fact most Doggonians attribute their very creation to the good Dog. Their capital city is called Reynart, after the good Dog, and they call their homeland Reynsland.
