"Ah, yes, the bold do die, but the cautious never live."

The mountains. A cruel, captivating, wondrous place. Full of life, and teeming with death. For every mother bear and her cubs, there is a carcass they are feasting on. For every mighty eagle, there are the bodies of hundreds of mice and rabbits. This world hangs in a careful balance: a balance the men might just disrupt. They are almost always heard before they are seen, encouraging their horses, talking to each other, yet they rarely return from their excursions without a wild horse in tow. Their methods are widely unknown, and once a horse is taken, it is never seen again. It is a warrior's world, where the strong rise to power by climbing upon the bodies of the weak. Will you climb, or will you succumb to fate, collapsing to become a stair for the next to follow?

The Mountains

The stony peaks are cold and cruel, but they are home. The lakes that gather beneath the towering rocks are startlingly cold in spring, but fresh from the snowy runoff. The thin, pine forests provide shade in the summer months, and shelter from storms come winter. But they are also a favorite place for mountain lions, one of the few natural predators of the mustangs. Very few creatures can live in the peaks, far above, but bears seem to abound there. The wildflowers, green grass, and sagebrush are in full bloom, painting a vibrant, colorful landscape. When the heat becomes too much, the rivers and lakes are ideal places for a dip. The thick heat of August brings vicious storms and swarms of bugs, as well as man. Stick together, and you might survive.

The Rules
1. Literate posts, please. A minimum of five sentences is accepted, though occasional writers block is understandable.
2. Do not kill/ severely injure/ breed with someone else's character without their consent
3. Absolutely no power playing or god modding
4. Respect the dice, please.
5. If you would like your mare to be pregnant, as spring has passed, just let me know. I'll roll for the chance of twins and you can either make the sheet yourself or find someone who wants to play a foal. Keep colors realistic, please.
6. Drama between characters is perfectly fine, if not encouraged, but I expect any problems between fellow role players to be worked out civilly. I will not stand for fights.
7. If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas don't hesitate to reach out, I'm always here.
8. Put headers on your posts, please. They should have your character's name, rank, and who they're interacting with, in no particular order.
9. Enjoy yourself! Lose yourself in the world of the horse.
