Canyns are a hybrid race of canine and man. They are a sylvan –and sometimes feral – people. They are guided by the social hierarchy of their packs and the mysticism of astrological totems. Following the War of Man, hundreds of canyns were absorbed into the ranks of the Tarsalian Guard and now serve as scouts. Other Tarsalian canyns eke out an existence in the border regions of the kingdom. Many canyn refugees fled to the Golden Isles, but have had a difficult time assimilating into that realm.
