A Brief History
Humans have finally done what they have threatened to do for millennia: They have wiped out their own species, as well as many others. The earth is an eerie, silent place, birdless and covered with gleaming, glowing fungus, the only plant that can survive the heavy, toxic clouds covering the earth.
Most large animal species have died out. However, one has survived.
Deep underground in a cavernous series of caves, a small group of escaped horses (from coal mines of the distant past, as well as a lucky few descended from those which escaped from riding centers and farms) have managed to cling to life. They have shrunken over time, their legs have grown sturdy and their bodies suited for weaving through caves and over rocks. They have stayed alive by eating whatever grows in the caves, with the result that they are now blind, and see the world through strange, glowing antennae. They have also grown horns, the shape of which may vary, but which usually point downwards. After centuries underground, they are beginning to emerge once again into the outside world.
Only to find that they are not alone...

To Set the Scene
This roleplay begins as the Equidius begin to send scouts (otherwise known as foragers) out to the mysterious outside world. Slowly but surely, they are leaving their caves and discovering the dangers of the wider world outside. Ranks are being discovered, alliances and enmities are being formed. It is a great and terrifying time for the placid little creatures.
