The herd that calls themselves Gleann an Tolaidh live in a deep valley. In the middle of the valley runs a river and the valley is always surrounded by vivid grasses. Hills grow all around and the river trickles between the behemoth cracks, rocks tumbling around the river. An idyllic paradise lacking much drama or threats.

weather;-- it is summer. you are more likely to run into wranglers on patrols, and rogue groups will most likely start to try and settle on your territory, so keep an eye out. you are still likely to get floods, but there will be more droughts towards the middle of summer. because of the droughts, the grass will start to shrivel up. your herd will still receive new horses but not as much as you would in spring.

more to be explained in the herd's archive. the herd is actually called the bones of the boneyard.

Thunder Valley Herd
Number of Horses: one Stallion, zero Mares

Leroy looked up from the water, droplets dripping from his mouth as a newcomer came to the river. It was a female. She was small, but her eyes were bright with age and intelligence. She shook her mane and bent over to drink from the river. Leroy watched her, waiting until she was done to talk to her. She lifted her head up and turned to him, "Delilah's my name. I don't have a herd, and I'd like one."

Leroy looked at her, "Sounds good. Welcome to Thunder Valley."

leroy & delilah patrol for more horses

while on patrol, leroy and delilah found a horse eager to join the herd.

inky. wrote:Herd of Many Cactuses

The Herd of Many Cactuses love in the desert plains of the southwestern United States. They move around a lot, since they aren’t really competing with humans (in fact, they live in a nature reserve).

The Herd is known for their close knit bonds. Every horse that they meet is treated like family; whether they are a newcomer or born to the Herd. They are very friendly yet they are very protective and mostly keep to themselves. They only really make conversation with outsiders if they are fighting or if they wish to join.

The most prevalent custom is for the leader to be the first-born son of the current leader. Therefore, the leader is always male. After many months of training, the colt is tested and, if he passes becomes the second in command and eventually leader when their father passes or retires. That means that the leader will not have a Deputy/second in command until their colt is old enough.

At first, the Cactus Herd only consisted of desert colored horses (buckskins, chestnut, bay, palomino, etc.) But over time, outsiders have joined the ranks and now, pelt colors range from black, to red, to white, to dappled grey. Obviously, the brown-ish tones are more common, but every now and then, a white foal is born.

Herd of Many Cactuses
Number of Horses: 1

Whiskey galloped around the territory, his tail streaming behind him. Since he had discovered this land, he had been doing his best to make sure it was kept his. Although, he didn't like being alone. Sighing, he ran harder, pumping his legs back and forth until it felt as if he as flying across the ground. He ran and ran, hoping to run into another horse, perhaps a pretty mare, that would want to join his newly-founded herd.

The tall appaloosa mare had entered the valley at a gallop, thundering into Leroy's home like a madman. She had created an uproar of a entrance, causing delilah to almost spook when the female came up to them. She had bowed her head to the soft half linger and addressed Leroy. "Hello. I need a herd, i just left my own. I am willing to serve." And that was that. Delilah and Renegade groomed each other and welcomed each other into the herd and created a lasting bond.

(( Continuing with my herd from v.1 <3
here is my last reply.))

The soft grass of the plains crunched under Tarnish's hooves as he trotted along the North border of his territory. He could still see the mountain peak against the soft pink sky, a small speck in the distance. He had decided that he would start at the East and make his way around until he hit the small reflecting pool at the South Border, rest, then make his way West to complete his rounds. It was a lot of work for one horse. Thankfully, the ancestors were watching over him. He knew that they wouldn't let him down. Tarnish shook out his mane before continuing on his way. Further along the border, the leader stopped when he saw a mare waiting for him. She had a dusty black coat and inquisitive brown eyes. Her ears pricked up when she saw him. "Hello." She neighed to him, "I'm Foxglove. Can you point me in the direction of the Herd of The Red Sun? It's important that I find them."

Tarnish couldn't help but snort in amusement and Foxglove glared at him. "No, no, I'm not laughing at you." He assured her, "It's just-I'm Tarnished Feather, leader of the herd you're trying to find."

"Ah, I see." Foxglove dipped her head to him and he returned the gesture. "The stars sent me here to find you."
"You're my Shaman."
"Indeed."

- ♞ -

Upon taking her back to High Peak, Foxglove was not pleased to see that the medicine store was empty, although Tarnish defended himself by saying that he didn't want to accidentally poison himself. The mare rolled her eyes at him and said that she was going to look around and see what she could find. In addition, she offered to patrol one of the borders so Tarnish could rest. He had a special mission that night, and she wanted him to have all his strength. When the night began, the leader made his way into the forest that sheltered High Peak and soon stood in a clearing where the trees bent into a perfect circle around the night sky. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Ancestors, you granted me my shaman and I thank you for that. I know ask you for a deputy to help keep the herd fair and just."

ranks:
leader - king
healer - queen
deputy - prince [the only son of the king and queen]
healer's apprentice - princess [the prince's sister]
scouts/gaurds - mares [all mares have the same job, protect and provide safety, except mothers]
weanlings - sevrés
mothers - mothers
foals - poulains

ixxx▬the graverunners are named as such because of their rather odd residence; the equine members of the graverunner herd make their home within an abandoned cemetery, long since overgrown and a far distance away from the nearest human civilization. the cemetery is so old, in fact, that most, if not all, of the names inscribed upon the marble plaques have been worn away by time and the elements. oddly enough, the weather in the graverunner territory is almost always cold, providing an eerie tinge to the air even during summer. the northern part of the graverunner territory boasts a stream that freezes over easily; however, the horses of the grave have learned how to break the ice with their hooves without plunging into the freezing water below. in the southern part of the territory, a crumbling farmhouse remains standing despite the foliage overtaking it. to speak with the ancestors, the gypsy will travel to the center of the graveyard, to the angelstone, and speak with the dead.
ixxx▬the horses themselves are secluded, preferring isolation rather than the company of other herds. if any other herd trespasses upon their territory, the graverunners will often respond with hostility rather than tranquility. they are a rather eerie group of equines, resembling their home in a way. they are primarily viewed as odd and dangerous, making it hard for them to make friends or allies with other herds, though they will acquire their own fair share of enemies very easily.
ixxx▬ranks differ for the graverunners; because of their isolation from other herds, they have learned to change and adapt the ranks in the herd. other herds may find that the graverunner herd has an odd way of doing things, but the horses of the grave have long since become used to this method.
ixxx▬leader → king. the king is the leader of the ungulate, and what the king says, goes. no mare is allowed to take this position.
ixxx▬deputy → the heir. rather than selecting any member of the herd to be the deputy, the king's eldest colt will become the next king.
ixxx▬healer → gypsy. the gypsy is the healer of the herd, often the horse with the closest relation with the ancestors. the king often has no relationship with the ancestors. if a gypsy dies without a weanling, the king will select the next gypsy.
ixxx▬healer's apprentice → gypsy's weanling.
ixxx▬scouts. → knights. knights are those who search for other horses to join the herd, as well as protect from any threats.
ixxx▬guards. → foal watchers. foal watchers are those who help watch foals.
ixxx▬weanlings. → weanlings.
ixxx▬mothers. → dames.
ixxx▬foals. → the young.
ixxx▬elders. → the wise.
