Animals have long been our cohabitants on this planet, but they have no structure in their lives apart from instinct. Homo sapiens sapiens has dominated the landscape thanks to its unsurpassed primacy in communication skills. But what forces fueled this engine?

It is the power of Art which the animals turn to in solving this problem. Ambitiously adopting the title of "man," they are determined to control Art and create a prosperous society for themselves. But Art is not easily understood, its powers dangerous and meaning fleeting. For to understand Art, the animals must peer into the depths of their own nature, and excise the animal itself, becoming human. Just how incredible is this feat?


CURRENT STORY: 10%+

In our year 2108, animal society is focusing on expansion. Branches of the fount of knowledge in the east now seek sunlight far to the west, along the coast of a briny sea. Civic centers bud among the wild population, and all not in accordance with the structure and order of society are displaced to its ragged fringes.

Meander is a student of the young college here who must prove his worth in this unrefined land. When he construes a method to capture his society, his superiors, and himself, he only wants them all to take notice. His tutor is at work on rebellious experiments meant to make something of the culturally poor land, and is not so easily satisfied. When Meander draws a dangerous corollary between their work, he risks everything and everyone in order to preserve the spirit behind his own good intentions.

But is he right? Society is concerned with this, and forges an unexpected revolution out of the meaning of his greatest art.
