Here we are -- I finally get to discuss sapients! As the page indicates, there are literally thousands of other kinds of sapients aside from the ones listed here; if it's a four-limbed animal of any kind that has a backbone, then there's going to be a sapient counterpart for it... You can see why I settled for drawing just nine examples. I was a little finicky with the layout and design of this page, but I'm happy with how it turned out -- my intention was to show them all in anatomical position to make them seem more "scientific" and like they belonged in some kind of medical textbook.
Can you imagine trying to put together a driver's license for a sapient? As you might be able to tell, I decided to group sapients based off of biological orders, clades, or families instead of using just species names. I felt this would help ease the headache of classifying them all; so, in passing, both a fox or wolf sapient might be referred to as "a canis," but they may also identify themselves as a "fox sapient" or a "wolf sapient" respectively. Going with the driver's license example above, the fox sapient's license would have them identified as "Canis (Fox)." I realize this system sounds a bit messy, but don't worry too much about it -- it's not really going to pop up every five seconds. I'm actually quite happy with it, personally.
The world as we know it is wonderful and strange... Add magic into the mix, and things become even stranger! Join two wayward souls from ancient Egypt as they become entangled in perils of all kinds in a world where magic is a very real thing. Friend and foe alike hold the power to destroy everything they hold dear -- even the very fabric of their souls!

The Chronicles of the Crisis is a story over a decade in the making. It is really only just the beginning of an extensive journey into a parallel universe that I have spent years upon years building and breathing life into. It is a love letter not just to ancient Egyptian mythology, but to all stories of cryptids, monsters, and other things that go bump in the night. While the main focus lies upon the two aforementioned Egyptians, there are countless other references to other ancient cultures and legends throughout the story. TCotC is a complex story that might not be for everyone, but it completely captures my love of ancient history and the supernatural.
