Lupin - The Friendly Wolf

This universe is set in 17th-century France under the reign of King Louis XIV. Society follows the norms and hierarchy of the historical French court, with strict etiquette, noble titles, arranged duties, and a centralized monarchy. The setting includes Versailles, royal gardens, and the surrounding countryside. Technology and culture reflect the Baroque period, including carriages, quills, classical instruments, oil paintings, and elaborate fashion. Animals exist as in the real world but possess full sentience and can speak; however, their speech is only understood by other animals—humans perceive it only as natural animal sounds.
