Do citizens age? What are their lifespans? As of now, no records have been made of citizens aging or perishing from old age. They are, effectively, age-immortal, though they are susceptible to disease, illness, and injury as much as any other organism is. The birth rate is much slower in...

Wait, meat fruit? That’s right! Along with the … unusual citizenship discovered in the deep caverns of Under There, a whole new array of plants were discovered that changed the way citizens above ground look at their animal consumption. Huge, gnarled trees grow without sun - though they...

What are their diets like? Does it vary by region or race? All citizens have the capacity to be omnivorous if they so choose! While some races may have dentation better suited to one sort of diet or another - most cats have quite sharp teeth, after all, and horses quite dull - they are...

How are there cow citizens, and cow animals? Much like in our world, humans exist alongside other primates like monkeys and apes, citizens exist alongside animals similar to themselves. Most citizens don’t even consider these creatures related to themselves, even if they bear a superficial...

Do citizens have pets? Of course! Citizens keep a wide variety of pets, though most regions and local governing bodies tend to put a limit on what individuals are allowed to keep. They don’t want citizens keeping cows in their living rooms, right? However, small, easily kept and domesticated...

What is the weather like? Are there seasons? There are seasons, though each region may feel them differently. The various areas tend to have their own unique biomes and reactions therein to varying weather patterns; Swampy Bog, for instance, is a tropical swamp, and tends to stay warmer than...

What do the regions think of each other? Are there wars? Generally, regions view each other favorably ... ... though they may find the decisions or habits of other regions strange, as anyone from another area might! Fortunately, all citizens view themselves as citizens of Animalia, and the...

What about holidays? In an out-of-lore capacity, many holidays from the shop are based on real-world holidays. The reason for this is simple; people tend to get excited about holidays, and it’s fun to participate in a holiday in a game or setting that you’re playing in that relates to...

Do humans exist? They do not, and they never will! Only the races detailed in the race thread currently exist in the world.

What are the governments like? Each region has their own government, though unlike the human world, they are far less interested in things that we would consider hot button political issues. There is no worry about foreign policy; every citizen is a citizen of Animalia, and there is no real...

Are there multiple languages? Accents? All citizens speak the same language. For the purposes of the shop, this is just English, as it's the language the shop is run in, but lorewise it likely wouldn't even have a name. There are codes, ciphers, and created languages, as the concept of "what...

Who owns the apartments (apartments/journals) lore-wise? Whoever owns them! It's up to the player if these are their own citizens or if they'd prefer an NPC to run their apartment. General lore-wise, housing establishments are owned by their investors, though some cities maintain public...

What about technology? Anything you can think of from the modern day human world, citizens probably have it. Smaller towns typically have less connectivity and general advancements than the major hubs, but all large cities have high quality internet access and copious amounts of wireless data...

Is Anamalia a planet? Is there a universe? "Animalia" typically refers to the megacontinent that all known wells reside on, though the planet itself doesn't have a name. Citizens simply refer to it as "the world," if anything. Despite their level of technology, there hasn't been a great...

How are citizens born? Citizens are born through the magic of the Wells. In most towns, this means that citizens will simply pop into being from time to time; they appear in a flash of light - where nothing stood a minute ago, now there's a fresh cat or dog ready to tackle the world! Most...

Can my citizen be from somewhere other than Big City? Absolutely! Just keep in mind that citizens have the concept of a birthplace and a hometown, much like we do, and since there are no Wells in smaller towns, all citizens are created in a major city and later migrate to those places. For...

Are there towns outside the main cities? What are they like? Yes, there are! These towns tend to be sleepier establishments, usually initially created for some purpose and the residents just decided they liked it there permanently. They typically have somewhat lower levels of technology; have...

What is travel like/mode of transportation? Between cities? Much like you'd expect in our world; all major cities also have airplanes and railway depots! Between cities and towns there are vast stretches of “nowhere” and “nothing” but the travelers, their cars (or perhaps buses), and the...
