• Please pick a legend status name in the near future and let us know.
  
• Please create a rank ability for yourself. Take a look at other rank abilities to get an idea at how 'powerful' the ability should be. A rank ability should suit the type of leader you'll choose to be. Any rank ability must be approved first by an admin.

• If you join the Order, your character will get the ability to turn their mane and tail into burn-less fire. They'll also get to pick out an Order name, one revolving around light or fire.
  
• Don't have a character that fits the Order? There's lots of available adoptables, or you could create your own new character for them! Because there will be an end to this plot, the character could always be a temporary one for you.
  
• Have a character that fits better with the Moon? Awesome, the Moon will eventually get her own group gathered, but not for a few months, and in the mean time the Order needs to become powerful enough that it's worth taking down, muahaha.

»»» WORLD'S EDGE
Mauja the FrostHeart has been very active in the World's Edge lately, gaining new converts of racist unicorns. Ulrik and his metal cat called a meeting to face the King when he showed up, angry over the rule that allowed Equines to reside in the land. Mauja put that issue to rest by rescinding the law, and the group was content once more. Daltoff and Deimos both recently joined and have proven to be every bit as dark as the rest of the clan. The Sun God is destroying their home.

Congratulations Cassiopeia on winning Character of the Month during the month of July!

Congratulations to the Windtossed Foothills for winning the Herd Champs again! Better watch out though, the World's Edge was fast behind! Members of the Foothills get an extra stealth guess for this month!

Congratulations Ali
Well, considering how busy all of us are topped with the fact that I, Tamme, am going to be gone for 10 days in New Mexico, the Admin team has decided to promote a loyal and long-standing member of both Isilme and Helovia to the position of an Admin. We all know how dedicated Ali has been to this site, and we are excited to make her a part of the team!


Adoptables Board
So I had been working on trying to cleverly organize the adoptables pages, either way I looked at it, it would be continually messy and require the admin as a middle man. After looking at a few other sites, I decided to make an adoptables board! Admin created adoptables are located in a sticky, as is the code for the character bios. Each character gets its own thread too. If you guys could do me a solid and create threads for your adoptables, that would be great.


The page can still be found Here . So you can retrieve your adoptable character information.

Hey guys! Well, here it is! The member-based NPC account. Keep in mind that there are rules for using this account, but they are still in progress of being created. Here they are so far:

CAN DO

• Can take any form from horse to wild-fire
  
• Can be killed, maimed or utterly destroyed
  
• Can be more than one animal (like a herd of mountain goats)
  
• Can be played by anyone!
  

CAN'T DO

• You cannot kill or maim another character without their consent
  
• You cannot destroy major parts of environments
  
• You cannot help in VoTG quests or other admin quests
  
• Can't be a wild companion or mythical companion
  
• Can't give magic or amulets

Congratulations Mauja the FrostHeart on winning Character of the Month during the month of August!

Congratulations to the Dragon's Throat for winning herd champions. Members of the herd can visit the Veins of the Gods twice instead of once, or again if they were waiting!

• You may quest for the Earth God to get your hybrid/twin/hybrid foals for certain. These quests will be no easier or harder than questing for magic.
  
• All post-dates (dates that have already passed) on the waitlists will be given out as hybrid/twin passes.
  
• Hybrid and twin foals will occasionally be given out as site wide contest prizes.
