Welcome to Traveling Shadows V1: Arrivals!

Your life has become hard in your other home, and the leader of your herd beats you down lower in rank every day. You seek the kind hearted home that this land cannot give, and you’ve heard whispers of the place you dream of on the wind and in chat with your allies. They call it Sapphire Peninsula, and you know that your only chance of a good life is there. The stories speak of a life where the breeze cannot chill your pelt and the stallions are kind hearted and pleasant. Where the grass is lush and green all year, and the water is ever present and plentiful. You have listened long and hard and have decided to go with the next herd that leaves, for every time one leaves, they take many with them. Your group has many, strong in these lands and eager to escape the death that surely awaits there. You travel over the lands, losing most of your comrades along the way and are shocked to find the bodies of those that had gone before you sinking into the ground as their flesh decays. Pain tugs at your heart alongside worry as you realize that you might not make it at all. Stopping for the night, you lose a few more of your younger herd mates to the ravenous hunger of predators. The mothers of the foals mourn the loss of their children, and they are left for the coyotes to feed off of and hinder their hunt of the herd you travel beside. At last, with just a few at your side, you reach the border of Sapphire Peninsula. Joy makes you call to the skies for some soul to come and receive you at their borders and the others join you. And yet… A shadow of those lost follows you and you feel the stare of the hunter upon your back. A cougar, strong and fierce charges you from a close distance. You squeal to your friends of the danger, but for one it is too late. The predator leaps into the air, crashing down on their back and slicing open their neck. You scream, ears pinned in fury and fear of the creature. You want to fight for the horse’s life, but know that it is too late to help them and that their death can only help you to get farther. But looking around, you realize that not only are you alone, but that a large crevice in the ground is separating you from your destination. The leap doesn’t look difficult, and you race forward, realizing it’s true width only as you lift off of the ground. You scream as you plummet downwards to the jagged rocks below, and batter yourself against the walls of the canyon. A splash alerts you to your arrival upon the ground as you feel your legs buckle beneath you. You spin onto your back and scream again as pain lashes through your spine and body. Suddenly the world is black and you are falling into a sleep that you believe to be your last. But you awake mere moments later, able to move though pain crawls through you from the severe impact of the fall. You struggle to your feet and a pathway up the canyon wall catches your eye. Slowly you limp toward it and find yourself at the top at nightfall with the stars shining over you as if their hope for you was real. A strange creature awaits you at the top. “Greetings,” comes the low and booming voice of a stallion, “and welcome to Sapphire Peninsula. I am Siskran, lead of the God herd. To me you will pay homage, but it is I that will secure your home here. You are safe. That I will promise.” You fall to your knees and weep at his feet, seeing the green grass below you and crystal waters of the lake in the distance, “My lord Siskran,” you whisper, “I praise you.”
It's Spring!

Ah, spring. Flowers are beginning to blossom upon the trees, and though the bite of winter has not died completely, it is losing its sting and ferocity. The waters are thawed and the grasses sweet. Many come to us in these times, and we are glad to have them. Come, be merry, rejoice for the season of birth.

Ah, you are remembering who you are? This is the first step to living. Here, you will tell us who you are and what you are.

Here you may keep track of all the horses you own. In ONE thread. The process is explained in the rules.

Tattered Border
[ ]Sidna Beach
This shoreline is a frightening place for a newcomer to show up, for the only ones that ever turn up here, are the ones that come by sea. It is a long trip from the mainland to this beach, and most turn up unconcious and confused, not sure how they arrived here. Your chances of drowning are greater than survival, and those that do turn up are badly shaken and horrifically wounded. Do not take it for granted if you show up unwounded, get away from these bloodstained waters as soon as you can stand.

[ ]Bisslemoto Canyon
This canyon marks the entrance from the mountains into the land you have journeyed to. Most that attempt enterance to the land from here see the distance across the canyon as an easy jump, for it is a decieving sight. Those that attempt the jump over the sheer walls and horrific drop fall to the jagged rocks below and upon landing roll into the shallow waters of the creek that carves through the rocky crevice. Starvation eventually drives them to the path up the canyon wall and they find themselves in the grassy, welcoming plains of a new home. There is a hidden path down the wall for those smart enough to find it, but most do not have the patience.

[ ]Dithay Desert
A barren land for those coming from exile to enter from, many do not make it through the dry heat of the desert. Those who are strong enough to make it through are coveted above all in the herds they join as the fiercest warriors and most devoted mates. To be found coming from the desert is a ticket to the best water and food from the one that discovered you. Be aware that those who come from here are deranged by hunger and lonliness and may lash out in desperation to compete for surival. Do not hold it against them if they come looking for a fight.

[ ]Cerovinra Forest
This forest is filled with the horrors that Hell could not contain. Escaped into a world filled with fear and hate, any that come to these lands through the forest have been followed by shadows and fierce predators from the first step into the trees. Those that come to us from these woods bring with them a curse upon those that find them to near to the shadows. Travel with these creatures cautiously, you may find yourself in more danger than when you yourself first arrived.

None Belonging, None Exiled
[ ]Lovers Loch
Ya, it may seem a strange place for it, but this is where the magic happens. Breed here to attempt the production of a foal. No fights or forcebreeders allowed.
Moderator: The Forsaken

[ ]Wimron Hollow
Foals of both male and female birth live here together with their mothers. The tall grass hides them well, and the small pond provides cool drinking water. Until the time of their training, they must stay here to learn basic instinct.
Moderator: The Forsaken

[ ]Destiny's Path
Here, the new mares that have survived the enterance to this strange land, may await the safety of a claimence. Stallions may come here only to claim a mare to be in their herd, and fights may happen here over a mare that is wanted by more than one. Tread carefully, for not all mares passing through are easy to lead away.
Moderator: The Forsaken

[ ]The Sky Fields
Once just an expanse of grass, these meadows are now completely covered in an assault of blue flowers that reflect the color of a clear sky. A place to rest in ecstacy, or to chat with a new friend, you are perfectly safe here.

[ ]Loreno Pikal
Named in the ancient language as "Loner Place", it is used for the purpose it was called to be. Only those who come to these lands with no home, no family, and no herd, may call this place their dwelling, and when they find a home, they are expected to leave promptly.

[ ]The Pits
Just north of Wimron Hollow, the training pits are found hidden in the base of a valley. Training by the elders happens here for all sorts of skills.

[ ]Shattered Shore
Here be the cliffs overlooking the sea. Many a horse have come here searching for solitude and been dashed upon the sharp rocks at the edge of the cliff base. Watch where you step, the edges of the ground are soft, and many bones lie beneath you from deaths past.
Moderator: The Forsaken

[ ]Lika Lake
In the very heart of the penninsula, a lake has grown, large and deep. This is one of the few water sources you will find here, but it also runs beneath Wimron's eyes. The water here is clean though all may swim in it, and not a single equine has become sick from the drink they recieve here.

[ ]Moonlight Hill
Not only is this the place you may come to pray to your gods, it is the place where you come to die. When you know you are at your time, or when you choose it to be your time, this is the place to be. Here, the moon and the stars have a clear path to steal your soul away to the heavens. Be at peace.

[ ]The Fort
What was once a battle command center for humans, is now a storm shelter for the horses of the land. The wooden walls make it seem natural, and the over head protection is perfect for a shelter.
Moderator: The Forsaken

[ ]Willow Tree Forest
Here, an expanse of nothing but willow trees stands. They have such thick branches that you could hide from the world beneath one. In fact, many mares come here to give birth in the shade and sanctuary of the magical trees.

Sun Bathers
[ ]Horizon Lake
A smaller lake than the one at the heart of the penninsula, this is where all of the lands that the Sun Bathers meet borders. There are currently only three available lands, but check back often, new ones are being scouted all the time!

Those Undecided
[ ]White Rabbit Valley
Here be the territories of the Undecided. Meeting at the very center of the lowest point in the valley, the lands of those lucky enough to gather a herd border together here.

Shadow Walkers
[ ]Hidden Mountains
The jagged mountaintops here are home to the Shadow Walkers. The cold air and shadowy land above the plains makes perfect hiding places for those who do not wish to see the sun apon their pelts or lighting their paths.
