7th of August It's time to nominate members for the member spotlight, so make sure you do so. This can be found on the 'News and Announcements' board. It would be much appreciated if everyone participated.
8th of July I added a promotional video to the site. The footage and audio are from the television show 'Lost', I only edited clips together. I hope you like it! Enjoy!
6th of July A sub-board in the 'Plug Board has been added for members only. Some more songs have been added to the soundtrack too.
3rd of July As you can see I've added small graphics around and within the side tables. I think that they neaten the side tables up a bit more and hopefully make everything look a little more organized. I've also added another role play location to the island and a new background to the current skin. I hope you like the new things added to the forum. Enjoy!
+ During the day it is usually humid and hot.
+ During the night it can get pretty cold.
+ Despite the climate, it has been known to rain off and on.
+ Free role play can take place.
+ The survivors have been stranded for nearly two weeks, rescue still hasn't come.
+ They are starting to learn more of each other.
This is the soundtrack of the island. Although the battery power of the teenagers i-pods may have taken their last breaths and died, that doesn't mean that the survivors can't have a soundtrack describing their feelings and experiences on the island. To listen to some of the songs press play and scroll through the songs that interest you. If you think that a song needs to be here, PM me, Larnie (aka Layla and Audrey) and I'll see what I can do. All songs must relate to our characters and their pasts, experiences and feelings or the island itself, as well as relationships and bonds forming on the island.

It was the beginning of the first pass, and dragonriders had just begun taking to the sky in defense of their home, but before too long, many realized that the lush south was simply too vast and too overgrown to protect properly, and the dragonriders and holders made the decision to leave their heated homes and move North... And many did, trading their wooden houses and their vast information for cold stone caverns and the loss of said information, but one small group broke away... Headed by twin Queens, Havareth and Zujath, a group of one hundred dragons and their riders set up an encampment in a snowy mountain territory on the previously uncharted western continent. While it was a hard life, and took much out of the riders, food was plentiful enough and life was quite good for them, Thread falling more rarely. Two holds sprang up quickly, Konta and Arawn Hold, and the weyr was soon named Arawn, the names of the riders of Havareth and Zujath combined.
Three turns passed quickly, and the numbers increased from only one hundred pairs to over three hundred, though candidates were increasingly hard to find, and many of the holders began to dislike their dragonriding 'overlords', Konta especially, and said hold began to hide away some of their eligible children, while Arawn Hold was a much more accommodating. That is, until a sudden illness began wiping out flitters all across the large island, literally making them fall from the sky on their appointed errands. The only sign was a slight loss of color, then a loss of appetite, and finally the flitter's heart simply stopped. Just as a third Hold was rising from the snowy high mountains and coming to make a name for itself, a rash of deaths swooped down, and within the first two weeks of the first firelizard death, over one hundred flitters had died, and soon the illness jumped to the few whers that had made the transition, wiping them out even more quickly than it had the flitters.
And then, what everyone had been expecting and dreading came to pass. With its fuel burning down, the virus made the jump from wher... To dragon, where it would soon come to be known as Dragon's Bane. The smaller the dragon, the more likely they were to die, and within the first few months every single green and blue were gone, and half the browns. Thread fell and without the grace and agility of their smaller brethren, as well as the numbers, the three Holds were left to nearly fend for themselves, two rather large groups splintering off and joining with the few Holdless that existed, one group fleeing to the plains and becoming Raiders, constantly hounding the holds and weyr, and the second to the sea, becoming quite literally Pirates. In an effort to stem complete chaos, the last of the original scientists did the best he could to create a new beast, using vials of wher blood and several canines to act as carriers. The first few experiments were deemed complete failures, twisting the dogs from the inside out, or killing them days after the genes were introduced.
Nearly a turn later, practically all the dragons were gone from the skies and weyrs, but with that horrible twist of fate came a slight glimmer of hope.. The first 'litter' of wherhounds were finally born, and though there were fumbles, eventually seven of the creatures bonded to humans, surpassing all previous expectations as the proved more intelligent than either whers or canines, easily capable of speech, nearly as smart as dragons. Four went wild, after showing that they did not necessarily need to bond, but they would still protect and occasionally come in contact with humans, as long as they were left to go their own way and not hunted or harmed.
But on the heels of this great discovery came a great tragedy. The sister Queens who had given birth to the weyr would, in the end, be the death of each other when they Rose together, one triggering the other's Flight until they flew upwards in a screaming rush, bits of gold and ichor flying as claws tore into each other. Several males were injured before the pair could be dragged apart, Brown Tuth forcing a Catch on Gold Havareth, the far more grievously injured of the pair, while Zujath went on to be Flown by Bronze Letherenth. Day by day dragon's died, until it was down to twenty, then ten, then five... Though desperately needed, the virus mutated too quickly for any hope at catching it, and it was soon known that if there was any chance at all to stop the disease, all dragons would have to die... Finally it was down to Havareth and Zujath. The pair's enmity was unmistakable, even as Havareth quickly lost strength, and though she made it to her Clutching day, squeezing out sixteen eggs, before her injuries and the weight of her illness drained her, unable to even summon the energy to Between. Eleven of the eggs were obviously dead, their shapes deformed and somewhat crushed. She died that night, just before Zujath took to the sands, amidst the keens and cries for their other Queen.
Gold Zujath, somewhat less injured than her sister, was obviously struggling as well as she laid twenty four eggs, including two Queens, but there was already a plan put in place. Looking at her eggs, Zujath looked at her rider once more, gave a croon, and left, Betweening away as well, never to return. Removing herself from the equation, the last dragon on the western continent, would also remove the chance that the virus would be passed on, thus ensuring that at least some of her children would live. Her rider very nearly went insane, but she knew her duty, and remained, a vigilant wraith over the sands and the nineteen healthy eggs that remained after those considered 'dead' had been moved aside, no one able to destroy them, or take them Between as was proper. With the wherhounds growing and getting ready to prove if they are fertile or not, and the eggs getting set to Hatch, with raiders on their doorstep and pirates at the hold's walls, it will take nearly a miracle to get this weyr back on track and keeping their people safe.
*We have a dragon clutch, the last on the western continent, in place and waiting for candidates! Candidates for both dragons and wherhounds are being accepted, as well as all ranks of wherhounds. Come check us out, you won't be dissapointed!
Shinari Isle, Fantastical Horse Roleplay « Result #3 on Jun 3, 2009, 10:50pm »
Dei has made a mistake. A mistake that is costing all of Shinari Isle. Now Vece grows powerful, and he is merciless. Where his chrome hooves stamp the ground, darkness seethes. His power is great. He is merciless and demanding. Those who disobey he punishes cruelly. The balance he was to have with Dei from the beginning is upset. Water over fire. Earth over sky. Decessus is stuck in the middle, wanted by both the powerful and the powerless. The mortal horses are mislead, and the 'unworthy' are killed without a second thought.
And the worst part is, Dei will not admit her mistake. To reset the balance, the other Royals must know what she has done so it can be undone. But the Oriens Royal has withdrawn, and is barely ruling. Most of her land has been reclaimed. She fears all other horses, whether they are Royal or mortal. She eats little, and thus her magic grows weak. She has even been caught trying to destroy her own life.
So the clock ticks as Nightfall settles over Shinari Isle. Day is short, as is spring and summer. The light there is is intense, forcing the plants to live. Reka and Anema are under Vece's control, and Sting and Ager obey gleefully. Decessus and Dei have all but ceased to exist. And the mortal animals flee from herd to herd, scared little pawns in a giant's game of chess.

History Hundreds of years ago, the Native Americans believed in spirits, but they called them Talismans. These spirits guided them and helped them throughout their life, first coming to them in their dreams, revealing themselves. Soon, when their body was ready, they showed them how to morph into their animal form. In animal form, a human takes on every characteristic of the animal, the attuned sense of smell, the sharp eyesight and sensitive hearing, as well as the physically abilities. However they still retain the mental being of that person. Years later, the Native Americans died out, and in their place were the white men.
One white man in particular, his name unknown, began destroying the land, living in hate. The spirits of the Indians in the heavens and stars had to do something. They gave him a Talisman and the power to manipulate the Earth's elements, fire, water, earth and air. His Talisman, a bear, tried to guide him to use those powers for good. But the man was too obsessed with his new found ability. He abused them and wrecked even more havoc on the land. The Indians were stunned, so they then sent more Talisman to other people, however they did not give them the power of the Earth's elements; hoping that their good could conquer his evil. Over time, all of the white man's offspring retained his power of the elements while everyone else only had their Talisman. However not all of his offspring used their powers for evil...
Today Over the hundreds of years, these Talismans gradually evolved to be part of us - almost genetically. You are born with your spirit by your side but would not learn what it was until you have matured and it believed you were ready. Then it would appear in your dreams to guide you and to someday allow you to transform at will into their animal form. The day your Talisman reveals its form in your dream you are known as an innocent. Until then, you are known as a seeker. Some people however, never get 'touched' by their spirit and remain a seeker til the day they die.
Unfortunately, some people see these Talismans as weapons. An Army of bears, cougars, antelope or crows for spies could be useful. When they, the Hunters as they have been called, see an innocent with a useful Talisman, they track them down, and somehow make them a slave, a mindless slave to do their bidding. No one knows how they do it, do they use a spell? Or maybe a poison? These Hunters will not stop for anything until they have their army to control the world.
There is one weapon they do not have...an ancestor to the first Talisman. For this ancestor, being of the mans blood, still has the power to manipulate the Earth's elements. She is the key to take down the Hunters for good. Her name is Jocelyn and she can control the Earth's elements just like her great-great-great-great-great-grandfather. Luckily for all the other innocents, the Hunters have not discovered her identity. Her parents have given her their task, to crush the Hunters and protect the other innocents and seekers. But she cannot do it alone, will you join her or will you join the Hunters?
