![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | New Arrivals All new vixens and orphaned youths must go here if they wish to be claimed. Herd alphas prowl these areas, looking for new members to increase their herds. Occasionally the elemental Lords and Ladies venture here as well in search of new disciples. Vixens may choose which stud they wish to leave with, but foals must go with the first one that offers them a home.

![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | Breeding Cove This is where faes venture when they wish to embrace the cycle of life. Faes may either breed with their lead stud, or wait for any stud to come. Force breeding is allowed as well, so be careful ladies! An important note on breeding can be found inside, please read this everyone!!!

![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | Birthing Grounds Pregnant faes go here when they sense that the time to birth their young is near. It is a serene place with plenty of soft grass to eat and lie down upon. Water is also provided by a small creek that runs through the valley. It is a private place, very sheltered and safe in almost any weather.

![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | Challenge Ridge This is where all challenges are issued, and all battles fought. The loam here is colored a deep crimson, stained from many a ruthless battle that has been fought over faes, positions, or territories over the years. Only enter here if you are prepared to fight for that which is yours, or that which you wish to earn.

![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | Sneaking Point If a stud wants a fae, but can't challenge -or simply doesn't want to- then he can try to sneak her here. Only lead studs or elemental Lords and Ladies can stop a sneak attempt. Sneak attempts may be done as a post or as a poem/riddle. The name of who you wish to sneak must be in the text, unless it’s obvious in some other way.

![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | Bone Yard Old or injured equines go here to die. Friends and relatives may pay their respects, but be cautioned. Wolves stalk these parts, and they will not hesitate to attack healthy equines as well. Some also claim that this place is haunted by the spirits of those who have passed on. Wander cautiously; it may not be wise to venture here in the dead of night!

Any and all equines may gather here to discuss things or to take shelter from violent storms. It can be used as a home for wandering equines or simply as a neutral meeting place. No breeding or challenging is permitted here!

The Bachelor King and the Bachelor Queen are the rulers of this place, and all the bachelors are supposed to listen to them. If they do in fact obey remains to be seen...

![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | Dark Lands (4 sub-boards) These are the lands of the darks, the sinister beings that call themselves evil and worship the darkness. Beware of this place, if you are not of like mind with these beings, because they are hostile, and will not hesitate to cause you bodily harm. Venture here only if you are brave and mighty, because the weak ones are struck down, and the cowards taunted mercilessly.

![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | Light Lands (4 sub-boards) The lands of the light equines are located here, the homes of the angelic beings intent on harboring peace and no hard feelings. They are kind and fair, but they do hold a bit of a grudge towards the darks. They will welcome any and all equines to their homes, as long as you are friendly and cause no trouble.

![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | Neutral/Rebel Lands (2 sub-boards) Those with no alliance live here in these lands. Some call themselves neutrals, while others choose a more exciting title, rebels. They are peaceable creatures, that refuse to take sides as the lights and the darks choose to do. They try their best to stay away from both extremes, though it is unclear if they will ever really succeed.

![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | Circle of Stones This territory has been used as a meeting place between the elements for centuries. It is a large field of emerald green grass with a strange stone formation in the very middle. A ring of small boulders in a perfect circle. Many stories have been told about this place. Some say it was built by the gods above, some say it’s just a natural fluke, but either way this area has certainly become a place of power. The elemental Lords and Ladies hold court here, gifting their most loyal subjects with powers that are not of this world.

![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | .: Earth :. A small lake surrounded by lush greenery makes up the midpoint of this terrain. Small yellow flowers litter the ground, and in the north there is a small grove of fir trees that provide shade in the summer months. This terra is located high up in the mountains of Grey, higher than any of the other dwellings. Because of its elevated location the climate here is also much colder than it is elsewhere. But there is a vast cave system that goes deep into the cliff walls, and it makes for a perfect shelter in times of winter. The King of all Earth equines, Acadian, resides here with his Queen Kefira. They welcome any and all Earth equines, darks, lights, rebels, all are welcome. Moderators: Pandora, Heian, Kefira, Acadian | 0 | 39 | on Aug 28, 2008, 2:12am by Kyoukou in What to do now. |
![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | .: Air :. Surrounded by the great Blue Mountains is a vast valley of grasslands and rolling hills. The wind here never ceases to blow, the air currents are constantly in motion, shifting and spiraling upwards in great drafts. From the highest point in this territory the Jagged Shoreline can be seen, and also the long and winding beaches of the Water Lands. This is the Land of the Air, where the Lady Pandora reigns as monarch over all Air equines. What alliance they have doesn't matter, all Air equines are welcome here, at all times.

![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | .: Fire :. The terrain of the Fire equines consists of a vast desert with an oasis located somewhere in the middle. The heat and climate here are brutal, only the strong can survive for long in this treacherous province. The lighter desert breeds, the swift ones who are used to surviving on small amounts of water and little fare, only they can stand the trials involved in living here. The Queen Pele rules this land along with the King Flashy Knight. Their mission is to gather a herd of strong-minded equines of the Fire, no matter alliance, all Fire equines are welcome.

![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | .: Water :. Great sandy beaches and thickets of shrubbery make up the land parts of this region. There is plenty of grass here to eat, that is, if you enjoy eating food that tastes heavily of salt. The sand is a kind of light flaxen color, and in the summer time it becomes hot under the bright rays of the sun. The waters of the sea are ever moving. The waves crash against the shores with varying degrees of brutality. The shallows continue on for ages, which make the waters safe swimming grounds even for less accustomed equines. The rulers of this place are the Lord Solo and his Lady, the vixen of dubbing Aiyana. This terrain serves as a gathering place for all equines of the Water. No matter their alliance, all Water equines are welcome. Moderators: Pandora, solo/, Aiyana | 29 | 298 | on Aug 30, 2008, 5:29am by solo/ in pirate's chest |
![[ ]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/sog/newskin_old.jpg) | .: Spirit :. These misty forests are home to the most sinister and eerie of all of the elements. These dark and dreary lands are where the Spirit equines dwell. Within this territory the Phantom Queen and Phantom King hold court, reigning supreme over the loyal Spirit equines. These lands are cold and inhospitable; there is little food to be found, as the phantoms do not need food to survive. Living creatures should not venture here; as they will be killed on the spot for intruding.
