The return of the False Angels has seen them appear as far north in our hemisphere as the Arctic Circle, with the Angels who appear in the north having a heavier build like a Clydesdale, while the more southern build resembles that of a Hanoverian. The Clydesdale build stops appearing around Wyoming, while the southern Hanoverian build extends all the way down into the Caribbean. The northern build is sometimes called the Seraphim, while the southern build is called Cherubim.
False Angels are slightly larger than the aforementioned breeds, with the Seraphims reaching sizes up to 18hh all the way up to 21hh, and Cherubim reaching sizes up to 16hh to 18hh. Both genus also weigh a lot more than the average Clydesdale or Hanoverian.
False Angels are extraordinary and magical creatures of legend that can communicate with their humans telepathically. They often speak in riddles or extremely intelligent conversation with large and impressive vocabularies, and have hidden knowledge and insight about many things that we consider to be unexplainable.
In addition to being able to control light, some False Angels have even greater and higher powers, such as the ability to control elements, telekinesis, or other animals, including humans, with their minds, though these are much rarer. It takes a very strong and sound will to be able to keep your mind straight around these creatures, but the reward of having one of these Angels on your side often excuses the potential risk of falling victim to their mind tricks.
All Angels are able to be somewhat tempered down by the use of a magical halter that appears after an ownership deal or understanding is struck. Pact magic is often the easiest way to tame one of these Angels, just have a soul to pay.

LORE
A long time ago, dating all the way back to around 600 BCE, a strange pegasus began to show up on pottery and within the art and written record stretching from ancient Rome all the way to Mesopotamia, in present day Turkey. The pegasus in question had not one but two sets of wings, and appeared alongside many of their early depictions of gods and monsters. Unfortunately, very few pieces of information about this creature survived until the present day, leaving us with only bits and pieces of lore and a mystery that has lasted for hundreds of years, ever since the first piece of pottery with them on it was discovered in Iran around 1918.
These creatures were depicted as something to be in awe of and perhaps be in fear of; the few pieces of information we were able to draw from papyrus scrolls in Egypt seems to state to that the False Angels were no friend to mankind but harbingers of death, doom, and important losses. They seem to appear around any massive natural disaster and loss of life, they haunt famines, floods, and were even on some depictions of Pompeii shortly before the Vesuvius incident, hovering around the volcano and beating its massive wings, shooting what seemed to beams of light with every flap. The Egyptian scrolls also state this, once translated:

These fickle and vain creatures have the power to control light. They could use it for the greater good but instead they prefer to use it to make themselves look as ethereal as possible, basking in the adoration of those who gaze upon them.
They claim their four wings are a celestial gift given to them to reward their selflessness and kindness, what happened to these traits nobody knows as a kind four wing pegasus is a rare thing indeed.

The additional wings give them increased agility and speed in the air, human legend is that they were gifted the wings to make them the war horses of the gods, contrary to the explanation given by the pegasi themselves.
Like most gods and monsters, over time, less and less sightings were recorded and the belief faltered, and then faded entirely. The False Angels disappeared completely and suddenly out of the historical record around AD 500. This summary is all that we knew about these mysterious and ethereal creatures, until present day…

PRESENT DAY
A dark summoning has taken place, by parties unknown. The False Angels have now flooded the skies in North and South America, appearing once more to humans to show their glory and power. These Angels look down on us humans from afar, but some people have managed to coax them into their stables by showering them with gifts, pleasantries, and adoration. Or, by making some sort of dastardly deal in the dark with the Angel. As long as they are given a place of pride in the stable and given a lot of love and attention, they seem to want to stay around those that worship them. The bravest (and/or the dumbest) equestrians who have managed to accomplish ownership are also able to ride their Angels through the skies and on foot.
So, the question is… Are you brave enough to take the reins?

GENERAL SPECIES INFORMATION EXTENDED
The return of the False Angels has seen them appear as far north in our hemisphere as the Arctic Circle, with the Angels who appear in the north having a heavier build like a Clydesdale, while the more southern build resembles that of a Hanoverian. The Clydesdale build stops appearing around Wyoming, while the southern Hanoverian build extends all the way down into the Caribbean. The northern build is sometimes called the Seraphim, while the southern build is called Cherubim.
False Angels are slightly larger than the aforementioned breeds, with the Seraphims reaching sizes up to 18hh all the way up to 21hh, and Cherubim reaching sizes up to 16hh to 18hh. Both genus also weigh a lot more than the average Clydesdale or Hanoverian.
False Angels are extraordinary and magical creatures of legend that can communicate with their humans telepathically. They often speak in riddles or extremely intelligent conversation with large and impressive vocabularies, and have hidden knowledge and insight about many things that we consider to be unexplainable.
In addition to being able to control light, some False Angels have even greater and higher powers, such as the ability to control elements, telekinesis, or other animals, including humans, with their minds, though these are much rarer. It takes a very strong and sound will to be able to keep your mind straight around these creatures, but the reward of having one of these Angels on your side often excuses the potential risk of falling victim to their mind tricks.
All Angels are able to be somewhat tempered down by the use of a magical halter that appears after an ownership deal or understanding is struck. Pact magic is often the easiest way to tame one of these Angels, just have a soul to pay.
The wings of the Angels usually appear to be modeled after the color of wings of many recognizable birds, but can also be matching with the base coat and markings of the equine’s coat, or pure white.
There are some markings that only Seraphim or Cherubim can sport; creating some diversity between both genus.
The eye color can be any color under the sun, with heterochromia being observed more rarely.
Each Angel starts with six breeding spots, but can unlock two more for a total of eight via competitions and upgrading your Angel to Archangel status.
Free False Angel adopts may be gifted or traded, but not be sold.
Imported False Angels can be sold, but only for what they were originally bought for.
False Angels do not follow most rules imposed on them by biology and are able to breed with each other regardless of gender and genus. False Angels are intelligent enough to have their own sense of self and gender, you may chose any gender and orientation you would like under the sun for them!
If a Cherubim and Seraphim breed, it will be a 50/50 chance if it's a Cherub or Seraphim.
While realistic equine genetics are the foundation of the breed, we are not very concerned with keeping coat colors and markings 100% realistic. For example, the silver dilution can also appear on a chestnut, not just blacks or bays. Flaxen may appear outside of chestnuts, a horse may sport chimerism and somatic. There are many other examples, so if you have questions about a coat being possible please DM me or ask in the Discord! Artists have the freedom to choose if they want to keep things realistic or be wild and free, so some artists may do unnatural markings, some may not. If you're wanting something a little unusual and aren't certain if the artist is up for it, always ask first! <3

- We want things to be peaceful and civil in our holler. Please be kind, patient, respectful, and courteous to others, both staff and the community as a whole.
- We will not tolerate any bullying, harassment, guilt tripping, or repeated disrespectful behavior from anyone at any time. We hold our staff to a high quality and high caliber and expect you all to be on your very best behavior and do us proud!
- Strikes will be in play for smaller infractions, but we reserve the right to remove any staff member at any time if we feel the behavior or broken rule warrants it enough.
- Banned staff members will have all of their free horses revoked, but will able to keep their paid customs and their artist customs
- Please do not attempt to solve problems between community members, staff members, or anyone at all unless you have the role of mod or admin. Mods may handle minor infractions between people, but larger issues must be brought to my attention or Kelpie’s attention. We do not want staff or community members mini modding, and mini modding will count as a strike.
- An artist or any staff member can have multiple roles, meaning you could be an artist and also be a mod or any other role in addition. If you would like to have multiple roles, please let me know so we can talk about it! <3

- Artists are encouraged to make at least one adopt a month, however life happens and that’s totally fine! If you need an extension please contact me at any time
- Artists are allowed to make themselves one custom per month permitting that they have made at least one free adopt for the community
- We want to keep this species as free to play as possible while also giving those who do have the funds an opportunity to buy their dream FAs, but free adopts are our number one priority here
- That being said, artists are allowed to post paid adopts and open imports at their discretion. Artists may charge however much they would like for imports and any type of currency that the site allows
- Artists who do not post any adopts for a total of three months will be moved to being a ghost artist and given a single strike. Ghost artists are not allowed to make any customs for themselves until they have created at least 3 adopts for the community. If another three months passes with no activity, you will be removed from staff entirely
- Our species is a fluid concept and artists are welcomed to edit the lines to create custom manes and tails, dished faces, Roman noses, add or subtract wings, scars, missing or robotic limbs (non gore), any types of horns, body mutations, give them magical or elemental powers, give them companions, and accessories galore. If you’re thinking about making some big edits I would appreciate being asked first, but I don’t anticipate edits of any kind being a huge issue. You are welcome to custom line things as well if that is your calling! Most edits will be treated as rare traits that can pass to offspring, however larger edits will be of Legendary or Archangel status and have a smaller chance to pass those to offspring. We also want lots of adopts without any edits, so if edits freak you out don’t worry about it at all!
