Be a good dog. Protect your home.
Be loyal to those who are true.
These are the words of the Code of Man.

Shepherd of the Church of Man
Dogs have inherited the world¸ building the kingdom of Pugmire untold centuries after the Ages of Man are over. These dogs have been uplifted to use tools and language¸ and they seek to rediscover the ruins of the Old Ones.
Some have learned to use the leftover technology of humanity¸ but they believe it to be magic handed to them by their lost gods. Others seek to create an ideal civilization¸ using a Code of Man compiled from ancient¸ fragmentary lore left behind by humanity.
The world is dangerous and mysterious¸ but over the course of these 18 stories¸ good dogs will persevere.
