Edda Icelandics are an ancient variant of the modern icelandic breed. They have been bred secretively for thousands of years, knowledge of their existence carefully guarded against outsiders. They are thought to have originated some time in the 7th century. The breed is said to be the progeny of Hrímfaxi and Skinfaxi, the horses of night and day in norse mythology. Superstitions still exist among breeders of Edda Icelandics suggesting that these mythical horses still walk among us, and tales of foals being born with the mythical traits of their forebears are still told to this day.

────Rules
General
Be respectful to staff and community members.
There is no limit to the amount of Eddas you may own.
Eddas cannot be sold for real currency. They can be gifted or traded for other adoptable characters, virtual website currency, art, pets etc.
If you are selling/gifting a horse, both the new and old owners must post on the horse's page confirming the transfer. Additionally, the new owner should contact the archivist to inform them of the change.
Eddas are a closed species so you cannot create you own. Editing a design you own is also not permitted.
Eddas cannot be taken off-site except for storage (e.g. on weebly or th)
Banned users can transfer their adopts out of the breed to new lines or have their adopts readopted. Especially bad offenders may not have the choice to transfer their designs - this will be decided by staff consensus.
Breeding
An updated stable is required to breed. Offspring must be linked in your stable. The original adopt page should preferably also be linked.
All Eddas have 5 slots. Mythical Eddas have 3.
Inbreeding is not allowed. Accidental inbreeding will result in a sterile foal.
Foals cannot be bred until 2 weeks from their post date.
Breeding with another user's horse requires permission.
Same-sex breedings are accepted.
Use the supplied form. The user who posts the form will own the foal unless specified otherwise.
Foals cannot be bred until they grow (2-week wait time).
Artists
There are no requirements for activity.
Line edits are allowed; please refer to the trait rarities to judge how rare the edits are.
There are no ratios for rarities (e.g 6 standard adopts to 3 uncommon adopts etc), but naturally most adopts should be standard rarity, and higher rarity adopts should be less frequently seen. Mythical adopts should be run by me (Arkinhallow) before making/posting, but you are free to make them whenever.
Staff can make customs with standard, uncommon or rare traits every month, including the month of hiring. Staff can make one custom with mythical traits when a) three months have passed and b) minimum 10 adopts have been made. Rollover for customs is on the 1st of each month.
Staff need to run their mythical customs by me before posting.
