come talk about porcupines... on a better note, come talk about how awesome ignia is! basically, talk about anything. just no major swearing, only mild cursing every so often, and no porn and stuff. no ads, either.

the battlefield
battles are done for four different reasons :
a] a stallion fights a stallion for a terrain
b] a stallion fights a stallion for a mare
c] a mare fights a mare for a position in a herd
d] a mare fights a stallion for freedom from a herd
horses do night fight for honour, and such. don't fight because you hold a grudge or anything, just for a specified reason.
at the beginning of a challenger's post, they post write an out-of-character explanation of why they are fighting, this can be as simple as 'i'm fighting because i want such-and-such mare'
when battling, the challenger will make a post detailing who they want to battle and why. the defender will then choose if he wants a coin toss or a step-by-step roleplayed battle. in the case of a roleplay battle, a royal will then hand out the number of moves, and the battle will commence. after each ic post a royal or other respected player will post the damage inflicted and the number of moves left. please try to keep battles short. you may be as violent as you want.
no cursing is allowed, regardless of effect.

stealing bounds
stallions with terrains may attempt to steal mares from other stallions.
steals must be posted in riddle format. riddles must contain direct references or allusions to the mare's name, or other stats. riddles must be PMed to astraia for approval before being issued. if the defender guesses correctly, within one week, nothing happens. if they do not, then the stealer will win.

winding solemnly above the meadows of ignia, in the northernmost part of the land, lays a single mountain peak. voali is an overhang of cliffs and caverns looming like a shadow over the country. the mountain is snowcapped all year round, providing a frozen haven, but only the determined can survive here.

marais is a large lagoon in the southwest. a few alligators cause it to be fairly dangerous, especially to the young and weak. the area is enclosed within tall trees with large dark green leaves, giving the look of a haunted marsh. but when looked at in the right way, marais may be a dangerous land, but it is also lush and beautiful.

Wildflowers dot the sides of this hilly terrain, yellow grasses swaying in the wind. Sumire is that picturesque place everyone wants to live in. The terra provides the best of all seasons; mild winters and warm, gentle summers. These plentiful acres of wildflowers caress you so it feels like the land is alive and wants you to love it.

to the south there is a beautiful junction of creeks and rivers, called ama. the trees border the streams as they wind there way through the forest, creating clear pools of water. the forest floor is warm and dry, providing a haven from the harsh trials of winter.
