The Intro:
Go past the seas, forest, lakes, and dunes. There you will find a land untouched by the hands of humans. Formada is considered to be a place of myth. But, no, it exists. But, only a few survive the journey to see it. Here, in Formada, dying a natural death is considered fortuitous. Rather, most die from a lack of survival skills. But the risks involved in living here, well, they pay off by the beauty and abundance of the land. With terrains varying from barren deserts to dense forest, and even a few snow-capped mountains, Formada carries unlimited opportunities to raise a herd... if you can make it to that stage in the game.

The land has become self-sustained. The creatures who made it here from the beginning bred and created new generations. These new equine, as well as an abundant of other species, have adapted to the harsh lifestyle of this rough terrain. Few newcomers are able to make it here and survive, but every now and again, there will be a new equine who is able.

Stags here form their own herds, or if allowed, join in pre-existing herds, and of course, if all else fails, join bachelor herds. Mares and foals with no home venture to the claiming grounds, for it isn't safe to be alone for too long in Formada.


History:

For decades equine have migrated in plight of human capture to the dangerous lands known as Formada. This is one of the few territories in the world that humans could not settle, not even with their machinery. But, when such technology can't overcome these lands, how can a mere equine conquer the struggle? It isn't easy, and only the strongest will and have survived.

In the early 1900's equines began to settle Formada after stories came to them from the birds that migrated the world. Out of every ten equine to venture into the maws of the beastly lands, only one survived. So, why would any equine dare attempt and settle here? Well, it was simple -- absolute freedom. Yes, in Formada the horses could be free of there human pursuers, living an unbridled lifestyle! For many years these equines were scattered, fewer newcomers seeming to make it each year. Eventually, through breeding, and those who were able to come and survive in the evolving lands, the first real herds were established. Within a few years of each other, the first four were created and thrived. The oddity of it all was that each herd was created on one of the four different terrains the island had to offer. These herds were known as the Greenland herd, the Hotland herd, Darkland, and the Iceland herd -- each herd named after the habitat it existed in. Over time, the four herds split into eight herds, establishing two herds per domain. But there were much more to come.

However, a sinister plan was derived from within...

The deer of the land were none too fond of the growing equine numbers. The horses were bulkier and stronger, some even faster in short-lived sprints! This meant that the equine, especially with their large herds, weren't the easy target that they were when they first arrived in small numbers. So, the big prey had reverted back to the deer. To preserve their own safety they had to make sure the horses numbers diminished, they had to become the easy targets once again.

The leaders of the main deer herds came together, and they formed a plan to turn herd against herd. Many of the herds were already in dispute over where boundaries lay, and some of the equine had split there herds into two due to preexisting conflicts... breaking them up further wouldn't be too hard. Afterall, the equine never expected that the deer were against them. In fact, the deer had once been allied with the equines.

Spreading foul rumors between the herds caused uproar... pandomneum... war!

By the late 1900's, all the herd's numbers were diminished, and not even the equine in each herd got along with each other. So, they split up, rejoining their nomadic lifestyles. it wasn't until the breech of the new millineum that the horses figured out what had really happened, and now they are determined to obtain the safety in numbers they once had. Too their fortune, word about these lands was once more on the spread, and once again equine have started their struggles to Formada. But, will these equine make it in time to build up new herds and save what is left of the Fomada breeds -- The Icelandic, the Hotlandics, Darklanders and the Greenlandics?

Only time will tell...
