»»» AURORA BASIN
For the first time in forever, the Basin has accepted its first non-unicorn, but with Mauja, Ulrik and d'Artagnan at the helm of this meeting, who knows what will happen. In an escape attempt, Africa, a prisoner, lost an entire wing before managing to get released and is seeking asylum in the Edge. Mauja has also defected from the herd, stepping down from his leadership to join the Throat under the guise of a alias "Dreven". Myrddin, the Basin's haruspex has also mysteriously disappeared, leaving the position vacant and waiting to be filled. In the mean time, the Basin is having to go on the defensive as the Edge and the Throat spies are attempting infiltration into the herd!


»»» DRAGON'S THROAT
The Dragon's Throat had some interesting internal shifting lately as Kri promoted Gaucho to the position of Sergeant. Hector was also promoted to the position of General. Kri left soon after to speak with Mirage and the allies of the Edge, but in her absence, a plot unfolds. Sumati, the second lead, was tricked by Mauja as he told her that he was someone else entirely. Unknowingly, Sumati invited Mauja into the herd, allowing him a rank among their own kind. Now, with the herd knowing the truth about the recent killings, a price has been put out on Mauja's head! If only they knew that it was already in their territory! The asylum, a growing outcast band has approached the herd for an alliance, will the Throat accept?


»»» WORLD'S EDGE
The quiet Edge is no longer so quiet. After learning that the assassins were planning to take over their land, the members of the World's Edge are fighting back. Kaj defeated Tonka the assassin leader in battle, effectively taking him prisoner. However, this has not gone unnoticed since Adrixaura has challenged Thor for rights to all the prisoners in response. Lace, a keystone of the herd, has returned to the herd and Smoke has taken leadership of the healers and is getting them organized. Kri has also visited the herd where she and Mirage and discussing the recent deaths and have come to the conclusion that there is a culprit - Mauja! The Throat and the Edge have then mysteriously sent spies across the land, but who do they seek?


»»» WINDTOSSED FOOTHILLS
The Foothills have been rather quite lately as the action around them stirs. Before the disappearance of the gods, the Time God entered the herd to speak with Ophelia and Murder, the stallion with the crows. After murdering a few of them, he spoke with the white lead and left. The contract with the Aurora Basin was solidified in conflict between the sisters, but Psyche left satisfied. However, now it seems that the Foothills are wanting to change the terms of this arrangement, as they sent Phaedra and Rafe to renegotiate, again. Ophelia announced that she was leaving as well, stepping down from her post and outcasting her, leaving the herd in the hooves of her sister, Ktulu. Much to everyone's surprise, Osiris also left, outcasting himself in honor of his friend. Patrols have been running more frequently from the borders as well, and new members have started to find their homes beneath the mountains.

JUN '13 :: ::"I love you, Torasin. I always did, from that very first day that you greeted me with that ridiculous smile of yours. You were the first soul I ever met upon these lands, and I could not have asked for a better friend, comrade, guardian of my heart. If it weren't for you, I would not be standing here today. Torasin, I'm not ready to do this alone."
