I want to start out by saying how much we appreciate each and every one of you, you dedication, your words, your passion, and everything you've put into the community here. Unfortunately, the bell has tolled for our dear Canis. There are many factors and reasons that have gone into this decision, and I apologize if it feels sudden. The site will remain up for as long as necessary for players to retreive their information and posts.

If you have questions, you are more than welcome to reach out to me via DM.
