Nocturne is a play-by-post forum role-playing game that allows wolves and coyotes as characters. There is no clear setting or real-world locale, as it takes place in a fantasy world that is inspired by different areas of the Pacific North West and other parts of the world these canines can be found. All actions, plots, and stories on Nocturne are created by the characters interacting in this realistic fantasy world, driven by you, the writers.

Nocturne is also a game where anything good or bad can happen to your character. Literally anything can happen.
