<h1><div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align"><span style="font-family: Georgia;" class="mycode_font">Herds of Essentia</span></div></h1><br />
Not all those who enter Essentia’s realm herald from fantastical realms, sophisticated societies, or modern amenities. The houses and social groups of the Reach are unfamiliar to them and therefore beyond comfort. For those, here is an easy solution.<br />
<br />
The Herds of Essentia are an encompassing group of wild equines as they are in our own modern-day world, or perhaps yonder years. Primitive herds of lead stallions protect and group with mares or any other whom they deem trustworthy for the herd, while rogue bachelors - horses who aim to be lead someday but have yet to acquire any followers of their own - form bands to keep each other safe and maintain good practice for unseating, or stealing, themselves a mare if they so wish.<br />
<br />
<h2><span style="font-family: Georgia;" class="mycode_font">Requirements</span></h2><br />
<ul><li>The group is open to any and all who wish to join, but there are some aspects that must be maintained for the continuity of “primitive” horse herds:</li>
<li>Magic is kept to a lesser use, preferring teeth and hooves as their weapons (or even fearing the arcane all together)</li>
<li>Modern amenities such as housing, armor, etc are frowned upon as they are a foreign concept to the herds</li>
<li>Any design is welcome, though your characters may have prejudices against the highly fantastical if they are not accustomed to it, and likewise suffer from this mistrust as kirin, etc</li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-family: Georgia;" class="mycode_font">General Society</span></h2><br />
<ul><li>Lead Stallions/Mares/Couples/Partners rule over herds, oftentimes supported by Beta Stallions/Mares/Confidants to help keep a secure leadership</li>
<li>Typically, a max of two leads and two betas occur, though this number may fluctuate depending on herd culture</li>
<li>Those without roles (lead/beta) are under the protection, guidance, and law of their superiors, and are expected to answer to summons/meetings</li>
<li>Herds often avoid one another or spar/fight for territory, though this can also be dependent upon herd culture</li>
<li>Leads can, at any time, exile another member of their herd for whatever reason they see fit</li>
</ul>
<br />
Anyone is free to form a herd under the umbrella of the Herds of Essentia, we simply ask you to please submit the appropriate form for tracking purposes. If you create your own herd/band, feel free to set up a group yourself if it follows any particular doctrine outside the above societal structures.<br />
<br />
While the intention of the Herds of Essentia is to be stark in contrast to our more fantasy/sci-fi characters, this is a rather loose group that is always open to whoever wishes to join.<br />
