CIMORON - THEDARKS

The thaw this spring was slow, leaving the earth slushy and swollen. Backup of snow melt causes great mushy deposits on the landscape and what should be small streams are large and bursting. The air seems too thick and wet to breathe and the snow and rain just keep falling. The inhabitants of Cimoron should be wary of flash flooding and lush inedible grasses.

Season: Spring
Breeding: Yes
Foaling: No

13 DECEMBER 2009 ; To clear up some murkiness in the rules that I've been getting a lot of questions on since the season change, the official guidelines regarding character aging are as follows:
Foals age one year every season (two weeks) until they are three years old.
Horses over three years old age one year every four seasons (eight weeks/two months).

Hope this helped clear things up a little! And just a reminder as the holidays creep closer, I hope everyone remembers to get their Secret Santa gifts ready and keep checking back on Tinseltown for their gifts from Santa!

	DESOLATIONROW In the skirt of destruction left after the demolition of the previous king's glorious castle the Citadel, Desolation Row is a jagged landscape of crumpled pillars and eroded statues, overgrown with high yellow grasses and the smoky scent of past empires smoldering. Flames sprout up now and then in the volatile texture of the dry grass, fiery remnants of the great torches in the Citadel, and they are allowed to roam the land until they die with a whimper in the hot winds. The great alabaster ruins make up a large horseshoe, inside which the king Vultura drills his fearsome army. Small buildings are still standing on the outskirts of the horseshoe and shelter the royal herd and serve as a protective wall from intruders. The narrow path that is the break in the large horseshoe and main entrance to Desolation Row is constantly guarded by members of the kings vicious Band of Skulls or the king himself. A platform that was once the roof of the old Citadel sits heavily immoble at the apex of the horseshoe, entombing the fallen kings of the prior monarchy. It is from atop this platform, standing dominant over the glorious dead that Lapse Vultura makes his addresses. War Drum King: Lapse Vultura. Fever Queen: Roman Candle.	11	103	on Dec 22, 2009, 4:32pm by Lexi in PERCUSSION GUN! -- ope...
	MESMERICRIDGE. xxxxxxx Most of this land is separated from the rest of the Dark Alliance by a high mountainous ridge. The snow drains away on the other side into a large river and, for the most part, the horses here are unperturbed by problems outside their protective walls. Few even realize that they have a King who rules over them all. They only know of their mother HALCYON who treats them all as if they were her children. The hillside where the horses graze seems to have been spared from the comet calamity that struck many years ago. It is verdant and filled with beautiful magnolia trees. The queen rests at the top of the hill with the close members of the herd, and the others are allowed to sleep wherever they please. Sun dapples the trees and grass, rarely inhibited by clouds. Fog occasionally creeps in, trapped by the mountains, but it is often brushed away once morning dies down.	5	13	Yesterday at 11:18pm by - - aura in & her portrait in blac...
	ISOLA DELLA MORTE Everything is so surreal! The plants, normally so minuscule, challenged the great heights of the tropical trees. A haunting, alluring smell overpowered the entire land; the sweet scent of Plumeria lingering in the passing breeze. At night, the strange flowers emit a glowing light from their pollen, thus lighting the surrounding land. From the vantage point of a passing spectator, Isola Della Morte is a vibrant, and possibly hospitable harem. It’s lush, vibrant outward appearance easily conceals the rotten inhabitance. Poisonous insects, blood-thirsty plants and animals ravage the land. The weather was unbearably hot and humid, during the daylight hours. Sunlight pours through the thick tropical canopy with little to no effort, though the severity of this bright light varies throughout the land. Once the sun creeps behind the jagged mountain peeks, the temperature drops to a comfortable seventy-five degrees. The only true guide to surviving the land is to follow The Sovereign Ruler, Thalbe, and his Lovely Lady Razorblade Butterfly. Aside from the countless horrors, Isola Della Morte holds a very bustling and active herd, which is constantly growing, despite the rather un-welcoming resides. Could you be one of them, Traveler?	13	106	Yesterday at 11:42pm by `MAEE cannot post until wed in LAST TO KNOW, "thalbe ...
	the MARIE LAVEAU FUNERAL PARLOR . Although it is a somber estate, the Marie Laveau Funeral Parlor is kept immaculate for its guests, whether they be stiff-backed officials, lonesome souls needing a stiff one, or just plain stiffs. The upper floors of the musty old funeral home (complete with floral carpets smelling of moth balls) are reserved for the living, whilst the dead are resigned to the basement (they can't complain about the draft, now can they). Even for its dankness and grim aura, the MLFP has a welcoming warmth to it that appeals equines. it might just take your breath away. in the second room in the upstairs hallway sleep ENTWISTLE, your friendly deadpan undertaker & ARCESSA NOVA, his emotionally unpredictable wife.	5	11	on Dec 24, 2009, 1:15am by petitelupin in Can you say REVENGE?

	∙ les CENDRES ∙ In the midst of the Dark realm, a once deadened place is springing to life once more … Long ago, the hills and valleys of Les Cendres had been crawling with dense forests of birch and oak. They stood proud among the fireflies at night, observing the sparkle of the many stars overhead, the autumn moonlight catching on the bark and sparkling on the raindrops of their leaves as they drifted towards the earth. Streams, birthed by the overflowing waters of the mountain springs, trickled down into the smallest of the valleys and formed a little lake, where starlight shimmered on glistening surface. It was quite a magnificent place in it’s day, oh yes. That is, until it was found by Man. The forests were destroyed by him and his furious ambitions, and only when there was a stone castle did he stop his demolition. However, this stone castle did not last long. Apparently, the men who made this castle had made quite a few enemies, and they came with their catapults and swords and torches and destroyed the castle and small village surrounding it. Now, with it’s valleys still covered in a thin blanket of ashes, it’s trees still thirsting for life, Les Cendres is rising again. Saplings have been sprouting up for centuries and growing into the fine, young adult trees we see today; the mountain water still shines with the luminous moon and, though it was tainted with radiation for quite a while after the comet, it is now unpolluted and safe to drink from. Amidst the ashes and new trees, the stones used to build said castle and village, refusing to be terminated, lie dormant here; scattered throughout the landscape hopelessly. Les Cendres is now known as a place of new beginnings. Literally named ‘the cinders’, it is a place that proves that you can rise from the ruins of old, and spring up in glorious beauty into a new era. Although, it is advised that you tread carefully in this place of wonder … It seems to emit warnings of evil brewing within it’s depths … Or perhaps it’s just the wind? the predator king: Cirocco the demon queen: Raegan	9	30	on Nov 5, 2009, 2:47am by TEAM HATTER <3 in ∙ WELCOME TO THE...
	SiLENT GARDEN! With baited breath, and an open mind brings you to a vast walled place hidden deep within the dark terratories. You've never seen such a thing like this before in your life, as it is a vast and wonderous garden hidden behind a stone wall that stretches ten feet tall. If you can manage to find the door that is overgrown by ivy, you'll find a Greek empire nestled quietly in the center of it all. Columns that are begining to decay stand still without a roof to hold up, and the mountains can be seen in the background. Our tyrant king Shöne Shokolade rules the domain.	5	12	on Dec 24, 2009, 10:42pm by [x] SKY in FLY TO MY ARMS, LIKE M...
	--- HAGIA TRIADA Veni, Vidi, Vici. It is as the old saying goes; Zeus came, Zeus saw, and Zeus conquered! After coming and taking this land from an enemies arms, the Lord defended the place against not one, but three challengers. And now, Lord Zeus still stands tall upon his small throne. He, however, failed at becoming the Dark King. This didn't completely bring him down as he met a beauty named Hannsi who now stands as his lovely Lady and wife. They now have two sons... one by the name of Kheiron and the other by the name Crippled Ciel. The herd is surely small, but they are hoping to become larger as time comes. Zeus, however, is growing older and only time will tell how long the old Lord has till Death looks him in the eye. And... it was recently decided that Kheiron would become the heir! What will happen? Surely, we don't know! Now, onto the land! Hagia Triada is the name of an ancient Minoan settlement meaning; "holy trinity" in Greek. The name plays a cruel twist to this beautiful land. As many say... beauty is poisonous. The place starts out as a lush forest with many different types of trees. Ranging mostly of pines, the trees dot all of Hagia Triada besides two areas! One is a beautiful red beach that is covered with rocks here and there on the far eastern side. And the other is a place of ruins up towards the northern middle of the place. The name comes from the fact that these ruins are actually like a small town. There is one building that stands up tall with stairs leading up to a statue of none other than the Greek God, Zeus. Other than that, there are still a few house-like buildings still up and usable for shelter. The closest house to the Zeus statue is actually owned by Lord Zeus and his wife, Hannsi. Next is the red beach which is truly red sand from the soil around there. The ground suddenly dips down into a small cove-like beach... which is surely dangerous if someone doesn't know around the place. There is a single place along the beach where it is safe enough to travel down to the beach. Otherwise, the soil is very loose and even a foal could easily slip down from the soil being so loose. The beach, however, is surely a sight to see! It is probably one of the most beautiful features of Hagia Triada... but also the most deadly. There are so many sharp rocks lurking around in the sea that if anyone goes for a swim... they could easily come back with cuts! Which would just add more red to the place... now wouldn't it? On another note, this place is usually very stormy in the spring, fall and winter. And it does snow and get icy very easily as well! It's rarely hot around here so do bring a lovely jacket. <3 the backbone king; ZEUS the striking queen;; HANNSI the radiant prince;; KHEIRON	14	68	on Dec 6, 2009, 9:03pm by let me cry tonight in don't let your guard d...
