The Clestia herd owned a great forest full of all the great beauties we call nature, that is until another herd came from the west lands. The Acceil herd was living in their own territory happily, that is until a raging wildfire swept through, destroying all of the forest and much of the herd itself. The Acceil herd was forced to flee, they traveled on and on for thousands of miles and many hopeless days. They finally came to a 'uninhabited' forest alot like their old one, so they decided to make home here. A few weeks passed and the Clestia herd noticed they had visiotrs, and competition. The leaders were outraged by eachother, but the Acceil herd would not leave, for they had already set borders and settled. The Clestia was greatly outraged, and went to war with the invading Acceil. For a few years now equine blood has continuously poured out for the victory of the war. Many have passed and few have survived, and at this rate none will be left. Some have tried to stop this historical war, but all have been unsucessful and alot have been murdered for their peace plee.

Wander into the land of the Clestlia Herd
Octan Valley somewhere around the center of the Clestia herd there is a valley, minus the mountians. Really, it is more of a giant dip, like a old crater hole where all the grass and everything else has grown back. It has no water scource, but the location and variety of shades make a good place to cool down or get some well intended sun. Moderator: Cobraa.

Catfish Pond this pond used to hold catfish, but years have passed and for some strange reason it no longer supplies as a home to catfish, though it does still bear many sucessful aquatic populations for plants and animals alike. The water is crystal clear in result of no human life whatsoever. It stands about fifteen feet at it's deepest point, but most of it it accessable to walk along the bed. being around three hundred feet or so in diameter, it is actually quite large and pleasurable for most equines.

Cloverfeild Meadow this meadow was accuratley named, it has an extremley large abundance of clovers, and other wild flowers of course. But, mostly clovers. This meadow is pretty simple, it is a treeless area with lush grasses, varying from an inch to three feet tall, and holding a bunch of wildflowers. Agian, no waterscourses are located in this are of Clestia herd territory, but there is a lake a short run from here. Moderator: Cobraa.

Stormfront lake The Stormfront lake serves as a water scource to the equines of the Clestia herd, but it can be an extremley dangerous location at night or during a storm. The tide goes up greatly at night, and the usually lapping waves rush feet over a horse's withers and with great force. Plus, a steep ridge surrounds the lake, and there are narrow trails to carry you down to the lakeshore, making it nearly impossible to make it down under no light, and offering broken bones if one were to fall. Though, during the day this lake serves as a peaceful and beautiful place to stay, as long as you don't stay past the sunset, that is. Moderator: Cobraa.

Hightop Hill the highest point of the Clestial herd, this hill serves as a great lookout place since there is literally nothing at top except grass and some birds, ocasionally. From here you can view the whole land, both herd's territories, too. But, as a disadvantage, this area it extremley open, keeping you a "easy target" for hungry predators. Moderator: Cobraa.

Enter the forest of the Acceil herd
Burnt Woods in the border of the Acceil herd there is a forest that used to be filled with the great oaks, but when a great fire swept through the forest it was all burned. Now alot of the plant and animal life have grown back, but the oaks that sit here will not be near as tall as the ones before them for centuries to come. Moderator: Cobraa.

Deserai Cove Deserai cove is a serene area, and since a large river swims out of a hole in it's wall it is a fresh supply of water. The cove is really a cave, but Deserai cove seemed to suit the land more. It looks alot like a beach, but instead of sand there is dirt and grass. the cove is rather large and hidden by the moss and whatever else grows on the rocks of these lands. The river is clean and fresh, but for some odd reason no fish inhabit it. the horses of this herd, for some reason use this cave as a healing area, since it is sheilded from other creatures, and has a running supply of water.

Shaded Shore Beach the Shaded beach is not a ocean beach at all, but a lake one. Though, the lake is saltwater and unavailable for drinking. The sun hits it at such an angle it looks as if the water is paradise. The water is clear here, and when it gets deep it looks a green blue, like a perfect harmony with nature. Most horses are too fearful to swim in deep because the water is always freezing cold and it gets hard to swim if you are not good at it, though since the lake is saltwater you nearly float over the water.

Tiger Stream deep into the woods of the acceil herd there is a simple trickling stream. It runs all the way through the forest and provides a fresh water scource. Although it is a fruitfull area for the equines of the forest, it also attracts other creatures, mostly predators. To survive a encounter with a cougar or another killer you must be smart and witty, and quick. Moderator: Cobraa.

Dried Lakebed just out of the forest a old and dried up lakebed sits there, but the mud has sponsored grass, and that had led on more and more grasses and brush in the pit. It it pretty deep, around five hundred feet or so, and being around seven hundred feet in circumfrence it makes for a lovley home, temporary or permanant. The horses of the forest have to take a winding path down though, it is steep and a great fall to death. There are three or four of these paths, but only two are commonly used for lord knows what reason. The lake does vary in depth, and for that reason the ground is uneaven and a equine can sprain a leg if not careful. Moderator: Cobraa.

You are Safe in the neutral lands
DeadRock Quarry there was once a quarry for clay and mud in the forest when humans chose to attempt inhabit it, but it soon closed and the quarry was abandoned. Wind, water and fire have worn over the hole for years before the equines inhabited it, and it is expected to do so for the many years to come. Well, this quarry has formed as a protected area for horses to come and just, vent really. These grounds are popularly used as a breeding ground because the privacy is rarley disturbed, but some just come to come. The bottom holds all kind of structures, some creating gaping holes in the walls making for shelter, and others making arches varying in size. It has a few winding slopes guiding you down, and they are wide and easy to follow, until it rains. The clay becomes slippery, and the distance down is enough to kill a equine. Moderator: Cobraa.

Sunstruck Clearing in the forest a ways to the south there is a clearing free of trees and bushes, it only inhabits flowers. This clearing is wide and beautiful, and the sun warms and equine's skin. Another popular area for breeding simply because of the wide open range and the beauty. Moderator: Cobraa.

Deadleaf Brook a small brook runs through this section of the forest, but for some eerie reason all of the trees and other plantlife can not grow, but according to the climate it should be bounding with life. Alot of equines fear this area, for they believe Deadleaf is inhabited with some supernatural life, and it doesn't want them there. Moderator: Cobraa.

Shivvered Pond the shivvered pond is average sized, but the water temperature is freezing beyond belief. It is beautiful beyond belief, and the trees here are always blooming with color. The birds are always chirping, and wildlife is abundant. Even though, the pond is freezing it is a great equine attraction and many find it quite romantic. Moderator: Cobraa.

BearTooth Ledge Beartooth ledge is beautiful, until a equine suffers the spinebreaking fall. This ledge serves it's purpose, it is a extremley common fighting ground and if you loose, most of the time an equine wouldn't survive. Most horses stay awayn becuase of the risk of predators and of falling. Although, it is still commonly visited by the braver of the animals. Moderator: Cobraa.
