Enter a time way beyond imagination, where canines are living in a city called Vhalen in the year 4040, long after human existence. It seems nothing of the past remains, save memories of what was passed down by their savage ancestors. In this future, they are higher thinking beings, with complex personalities that are above and often beyond human capacity, making them extremely intelligent, to the point of being genius stature. On top of this, thet have complex appearances, they have: wings, horns and any number of markings, adornments and appendages donning them that they gained through evolution. With an advanced society, three tribes have formed, each one with its own set method that they follow. Each tribe fights against each other in what seems a never ending battle, hoping to achieve a supreme status and take rule of Vhalen. As they fight for this higher standing, they also fight the elements and resources scattered about the abandoned city in order to build rudimentary make shift weapons in effort to murder, back stab, cheat, steal and hopefully gain the upper paw. What side will you choose? What tale will you create? What legend will you live? The choice is Beyond [your] Imagination.

Welcome to Beyond Imagination
Forecast Year One - Summer
-Spring has ended now and most of the flowers have bloomed and are reaching their colorful petals toward the warm sun. Long blades of lush grass now cover almost all of the regions instead of melting snow and mud, making for a more pleasant experience. The trees are full of leaves which provide not only shade to the canines who roam Vhalen but, support many species within their thick canopy of branches and bright green leaves. Vast amounts of large prey have returned to Vhalen, specifically concentrated within the Valley of The Kings and the Coast of Vhalen, were grazing, food and water is plentiful. Temperatures typically range between 75 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit due to the sun being at its highest peak. Summer showers and random thunder storms will pass through Vhalen but, will not cause that much trouble to those who wander the province.

The Sky Towers were an active part of the business district of Vhalen. Within the towers, were thousands of offices where a large population of Vhalen's citizens worked. Every day, the workers would be dropped of by hoverbus, hovertaxi or some other kind of hover vehicle. The executives though, would arrive in much more state of the art style, arriving in hovercrafts where they would be dropped off on small platforms which were directly outside their high tech offices. It was an amazing sight seeing all those pods, zipping in and out dropping of their passengers like massive droves of bees coming back and forth to the hive. Now, the Sky Towers stand empty and falling into disrepair due to the lack of maintenance.
The Rocket Train was what the middle class citizens of Vhalen would take to get to and from work as they could not afford to buy a state of the art hover vehicle. The Rocket Train, rightly named would reach speeds beyond imagination and would get them to work within a few minutes. Hundreds of people would wait in line at the ticket booth buying their tickets in advance or upon the sidewalk for their train to arrive. At certain times of the day, normally morning and night the train station was shoulder to shoulder with citizens and often fights would break out. Police would partrol the station with their speciality weapons--contraptions that looked a lot like stun guns but, much bigger, ready to go into action. Decades later, the train station is void of human life and is succumbing to the test of time.
All the records of Vhalen's history and hundreds of books of all genres are within this library, tucked away on shelves. It is hard to believe that even in the future the citizens would still be using books and for the most part that is true. The books are merely kept for children and for history buffs and the majority of what the citizens used were virtual reality books, CD's and DVD's. Like, renting books they would come and rent their disk and go home and put it into a machine that looked like a huge gaming console. Then, they would put a special helmet on that transfered the image and sounds to their mind, to see and hear the music, book, movie, or whatever they rented. Now, only the dogs visit this library, looking for shelter as well as information to gain the upper paw on the other tribes.
The Super Dome was where all the sports games where held. The citizens could come here to watch: football, soccer, ice hockey, basketball and even swimming competitions. The floor of the dome could be change with a simple push of a button to conform to whatever sport was going to be played there that night. Of course, the games were far different from what we know and were a sight to see. One thing that remained the same, were the venders who walked up and down the rows selling hot dogs, popcorn and trinkets for the kiddies. Today, the stands are empty and no more games go on but, it makes prefect place for the dogs as food can be found here.
Area 13 was a high technology military facility where troups would train for battle. In the future, battles were more frequent and Vhalen had to be prepared for any sudden attacks on the city. Within the facility, were state of the art futuristic space craft and hover crafts that the troups used to defend Vhalen. The hand held weapons they used were contraptions that only a scientist of the future could dream up. Within the facility itself, were many buildings which were used for certain purposes such as computer training, gymnasium for indoor training, practice, class rooms and much more. A few decades into running, the facility shut down due to technology changes and it has not been touched ever since.
The Cubes are apartments where the middle to lower class citizens would live, as well as those within the military. The goverment built them long ago to house them mainly for the military but, after a few decades the citizens of Vhalen demanded they open up renting and buying them out to the working classes, as they were close to their jobs. The goverment was all too happy to oblige for it meant more money going into the system. However, decades after, the apartments were abandoned then condemed due to a chemical leak somewhere in the complex. Today, in the year 4040, they stand empty and in near ruin due to the fact no humans are left to take care fo them.
The hoverport, set way on top of a mountain, was a station in which resembled a airport except, space craft would come pick up and drop off its passengers. All day and night long, the huge pods would come zooming in to drop of the hundreds of passengers it held and then wait to pick up others. While, the citizens waited for their flight to come in, they could enjoy one of the many restuarants inside or maybe sit back, relax and watch a quick movie or partake in one of the spas. Down below the station, was a garage where the people could part theit hover cars, if they were going on extended trips. Long after the human race left Vhalen, the Hoverport stands unused and, the cars parked in the garage have gathered not only layers of dust but have become tarnished with rust and rot.
The Oracle's monestary was the hight of futuristic society for it was built for the highest ranking religious zealot in Vhalen, the Oracle. Only one in a thousand, were given the privaledge through hard work and years of experience, catonized to be an Oracle. To justify this rank, an Oracle was even higher ranked than what we know as a Saint. This person was omnificient, having powers to heal, mind read, telepathy; mind speaking abilities and much more. Hundreds of people would come seeking the Oracle not just for advice or council but to seek a higher knowledge that only she or he possessed. Not all were worthy for they had to be pure of heart and mind in order to even make it through the front doors, nevermind meeting the Orcale face to face. Decades later, the Oracle's Monestary is closed and none, save the dogs, come to visit it.
The Vhalen Temple was set far from the hussle and bussel of the city so that the few citizens coming to practice here, could do it in peace. The religion itself was a peaceful, haromonious one similiar to that of a Mormon or a Shaman. Everyday, the handful of people would come and mediate and worship their gods and goddesses. As peaceful as it was, there were rumors about it, such things as they would pay homage to their gods and goddesses by sacrificing animals to them or that if one of the members let any of the religious secrets slip they would be killed off at the next meeting. No one ever came to find out if this was fact or fiction for, years after running, all the followers vanished. Even today, in the year 4040, it is a mystery how or where they all went. The temple is now nothing more than a shelter for the dogs, seeking refuge from the rain.
The Marina was where all the high tech water craft were docked when not being used by their rich owners. Each craft, had its own special place where it would be tied to the dock or a mooring out in the bay. The personnel working at the Marina would hand out specialized keys that would unlock and lock the owners boat to their dock space or mooring. This was to ensure that none of them could be stolen as the keys held a code that only the owner knew. The water craft in themselves were something to see for they did not actually touch the water but, floated just above it like an early, pre history, made hover boat. The only difference besides looks, was that these boats went at speeds that are unthinkable and unimaginable. Now a days, the Marina sits unoccupied by any humans but, the boats are stilled tied off to their docks and moorings. Many are too unsafe to drive but, others are still in descent shape considering how long they've sat unused. They come as a great advantage to the dogs if, they can figure out how to drive them.
The Botanical Gardens was a place where the citizens could come and take a break from the busy life of the city. Coming to these gardens was like going on a vacation, for it was a true paradise with tons of flowering plants, exotic trees, fountains and relaxing pools of water all around. Many species of exotic birds would next in the trees or come to swim in the pools of water and add their beautiful calls to the delightful ambiance. Citizens could sit on plush benches or take a walk down one of the many paths to enjoy these tropical paradise. Small, glass faced houses lined the outer edge of the gardens which the people could rent for a day or week for extended stays. In these houses, was a load of high technology features, enough to make a person of this futuristic society content. Now, these gardens and the houses belong to the dogs and now they may enjoy this paradise without interference from them.
