» The activity check ends tomorrow!

» New Rule: To block a stealth you must provide 3 reasons why you're blocking it.
» New Rule: Herds have 1 stealth guess per 10 herd members. Herd activity checks are mandatory every turn of season and should be accomplished by the herd lead(s). A quick OOC check is fine.
» New Rule: A guard may only have 1 prisoner.
» New Rule: Someone is considered stolen the moment the stealth recieves 2/3 passes, but the 7 day wait period for a prisoner to escape or be rescued starts from the point they make their first post as a prisoner.
» New Rule: Normal companions that you receive through a quest must now go through hunting same as a companion received from a drop.

» Admin are in the process of assigning items/prizes point values. We hope this will make attaining and trading the prizes you want more efficient.
» It was voted in that there be additional magic uses during a large scale invasion fight. The exact details on this are still being determined by admin.

» Admin have decided not to mandate character aging, but will post reminders every season turn because it is still important for all of us to age our characters, as this can effect the timelines of other characters. Please be considerate of others and try approaching people if their ages might affect your character some how to see if you can work out a compromise :)
» Admin have decided not to apply a male/female gender option to profiles. The result of the voting was nearly a tie and ultimately it was decided that the coding means would not be worth the end result.

» There will be an updates field in your profile, for adding short updates about new/temporary changes to your character. This will show up in your posts so others can easily glance and be aware of these changes. (In progress!)
» There is now a [WANTED] prefix in the Commerce board, within Plotting, to place a bounty on another character's head. More details and a wanted poster template to come.
» A Battle Archive and Stealth Archive are now within the Archives and all old battles and stealths have been moved over there.

»»» DRAGON'S THROAT
The reclusive Kri has appointed Leander to be a lead beside her, which will only hope to increase the aura of friendliness. However, the beginnings of a massive, iron wall could prove otherwise. The new artisan Bazilsk, a massive snake, has begun working on creating a massive, tiered, metal wall to wrap around the borders of the Throat. Leander is currently in the process of rescuing golden eagles and Ophelia has brought a new pegasus to enjoy the warm climate. Will a wall keep the citizen out, or in?


»»» WORLD'S EDGE
Solstice was stolen, and Aaron has tried, unsuccessfully to steal her back. Hellena has pledged her allegiance to Mirage, and Hector has sent a message from Paladin about talking to Kri regarding their triple alliances. Lace has called a herd meeting where a few news faces such as Thor, Ysuelte, and Tallow have made their appearances known.


»»» WINDTOSSED FOOTHILLS
Ricochet, after attacking two guests, was chased out by Osiris, Ophelia and Archibald. After he ran out, Archibald took position as the new equine lead, but will that cause drama? Mandrake seems to have become more involved in her son's lives and now two of them are herd leaders! Svetlana has become mysteriously kidnapped by Psyche and the Plague. Despite the drama, they have recruited Romani, Wanyecha, and Vana!

Congratulations OPHELIA on winning CotM during December!

The admin are going to post a thread which will involve a vote for the Herd of the Month to replace Herd Champs!
