Sentient Nature

Sentient Nature is the name given to an RP setting where in wolves, mice, birds, etc all possess a wisdom akin to man yet the limitations of their physical form in a world with some mystical elements. The setting was introduced by Baron Joshua (under the name Harbertia on NS) and has been explored on and off again irregularly. The project was inspired by a myriad of works such as 'The Animals of Farthing Wood', 'Alpha and Omega (all films)', and 'Zambezia'.

== Production History ==
=== Experimentation and Pre-Production ===
The Baron began writing short subjects revolving around 'foxes, wolves, snakes, and mice' with sentience to examine the social implications. Most of his fiction focused on 'predator and prey' relations with the question 'can they work together?' being focal. Often he'd let the character 'flow on their own' with the results being 'less then favorable'. Though with an interest born of 'The Animals of Farthing Wood' the Baron continued to delve into the concept. From that was born 'The Valley' and it's society where while predation exists the inhabitants have some administration and understanding that some issues are too big for them to overcome on their own.
=== First RP ===
The first RP, 'The Rule of Grog' introduced 'The Valley' and it's political system. Inspired highly by 'The Animals of Farthing Wood' the RP's world was in essence a rework of that production with a focus on the tyranny of a wolf; who had once been a hero to the valley. The RP met with some success and was contributed to by skilled players yet Baron Joshua, as is typical of him, failed to keep the plot flowing. Since then world building has been a focus in the setting and while the setting keeps getting built no new RPs have been established.
=== Expanding the Setting ===
