Settings and Stories Check here to see what it is like to live in the mountains and what is going on, including the stories and rumours currently circulating the High Country and the legends that are whispered on the wind, as well as what the actual place itself is like. In here you will find descriptions and photos of the various areas and local flora and fauna, a glossary, and, of course, the in-game news and weather - which you should check before moving to the next IC day in a thread or doing a historic post or things like that. If there is no record for the day on which you want to set your post, you may make up some weather (within reason) and inform the admin, and we will add it to the records. |

Gunmarl Gunmarl means 'place of death', and that is exactly what this is (remember Inle, the Black Rabbit's home in Watership Down?). Register your character's death here, or stillborn foals, basically anything to do with the end of life. Sometimes the spirits of those who have lived before might linger here awhile. Living characters found wandering here may find answers to difficult questions, perhaps questions they cannot even ask, but they are in constant peril while they are within the realm of Death.

Numeramang [picture pending] A vast, open and somewhat circular plain to the west of Ravine, ringed with tall candlebarks and with a strange, low, tree-topped hill in the middle. Several herds can graze here at a time without any need for disturbing each other, such is the amount of space. |

Ravine [picture coming soon] If you travel up the Tumut River and straight upwards through rough forest country, you will eventually reach the top of an immense, forested wall, with timbered ridges stretching for miles and miles to the east. A clear track leads north along the ridge beneath your hooves (or paws), and a short way along it the valley on the east begins to open out, and the track, too, turns east and steeply down. You will find yourself then on a great open ridge which goes tumbling down below you, its lower slopes quite invisible. Below, there are plum-hued rock cliffs, a lace of waterfall coming out of one sharp-cut valley, and steep slope after steep slope falling into the valley. Once you reach the floor of the valley, you can see a strange pile of mud squares and high rocks built up like a tree. This was once a hut where men lived when there was copper mining at Ravine. But all that remains now are the ruins and the faintest lingering hint of a presence which did not belong in the mountains. The Yarrangobilly Creek runs through Ravine, and joins the wide waters of the Tumut River at Lobs Hole to the west. |

The Valley of the Caves [picture coming soon] This territory is open only to brumbies of the breed of the Moon, and wildlife. The password can be obtained from the admin, but if you do not fit either of the above categories, and have not been brought here by someone who does, then do not bother asking. |

Rules Point Hotel
The Rules Point Hotel is the centre of human social life in the high country area. It is a substantial building, constructed in 1910 and extended and licensed in 1915. From 1948 the guest house has been run for fishing and skiing. The hotel is a large weatherboard building, with an iron roof over older shingles. It is lined with pressed tin, a luxury in these days. There are wooden floors and brick fireplaces. |

The Cascades
The main valley is spacious, with good grazing, and allows room for several herds. It is fairly wide and open, and mostly flat, with Cascade Creek meandering through the snowgrass of the valley floor and the odd pocket of trees offsetting the heath and snowgrass and the occasional granite outcrop. Several smaller valleys branch off the Cascades, especially towards the head of Cascade Creek at Mt Purgatory, where the terrain becomes steeper. The valley of the Cascades is named for the great waterfall that drops out of it almost 2500 feet into the Indi river below. |

Burrabi Tor
This tor at the very end of Dead Horse Ridge, by the edge of the Main Valley, is the best place in the Cascades area for fighting - and indeed a lot of fights take place here. Fighting may occur anywhere, but it is here that stallions will often take their most important battles, due to the perfect conditions - the hard-packed earth, the great granite tor rising out of the ground with flat surfaces etched by hundreds of hooves, the occasional tree to dodge and weave around and the view over the Cascades. If you want to challenge the King of the Cascades, this is the ideal place to do so. Also, if you fight (and win) in another area of the board and would like to have the results of the fight shown (eg if you defeated an alpha stallion and wish to take the alpha's place) then post the fight stats here, ie who was involved, who won, how long the fight took and degree of injury sustained by each horse. Mares may not squabble for herd positions or resist stallions here, and any mares in the area after a fight are by rights the property of the winning stallion, though if two herd leaders are fighting, the victor may go to the loser's bimble and select from one mare to the whole herd. You may not fight more than three times per RP day, no matter which board it is on. Anyone fighting more often than that will automatically lose and can even die. Death is possible in this area, and fights are judged by the moderator/s based on the skill and attributes of each stallion, as well as by the moves made and general quality of the posts. If requested, a poll will be taken. You may make one move (action) and one counter-move (reaction) per post, eg 'Thunder backed away from Cloud (reaction) and struck out at the other stallion (action).' Any moves made beyond this will be ignored, and unrealistic moves such as slashing at the jugular and trying to break your opponent's back will count against you, not your adversary. |

The Murray - Midsection This section of the great Murray River stretches down the side of the Cascades and up around the end of the Leatherbarrel. It is a fairly wide river, and can be too deep for foals to cross in places - in the floods of spring it can even be too deep and swift for full-grown horses to cross surely. But alongside the river are gentle green banks lined with paperbarks and black sallees and kingfishers dart to the water's surface for insects like flashes of sparkling blue, showing the river's peaceful side and natural beauty. Several herds can roam along the Murray Valley, but if there are too many or they try to graze too close together, angry neighs and snorts can echo off the Ramshead Range and drift into the Cascades. |

The Upper Crackenback
The silver river snakes through the undergrowth, lined with bowed eucalypts, black sallees and tea-tree. On either side are gentle slopes that gradually become steeper as they rise up to a tree-capped ridge on the southern side of the river and the southern face of the Ramshead Range on the opposite side. More trees line the northern bank than the south, and a path winds through these trees, edged with snowgrass, kangaroo grass, wattle and the small bright stars of wildflowers. This is a pleasant place to graze, though Man sometimes turns up here in the summer, with his red-and-white cattle. |

Wanbanalong
This area's name means 'place of kangaroos', and this is indeed a place well-known to kangaroos throughout the mountains, where a roo may sit back with his or her fellow marsupials and ponder the meaning of life in contemplative serenity surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the bush. Wanbanalong lies along the spine of Dead Horse Ridge, where the Pool of the Moon reflects the full moon at times, and is known to all kangaroos and wallabies, even wombats and emus, while other animals either do not know of it or are generally respectful enough not to intrude while the roos are relaxing. |

Kurrara
The name of this area means 'place frequented by possums', and that is exactly what this place is. This is possum central, where the flowers and bush fruits grow thickly and it is difficult for dingoes, foxes and feral dogs to intrude due to the steep gully walls and impenetrable - except to possums - bush surrounding the little hanging valley. All wildlife is welcome here, as on all the other boards, but this area is pretty much run by the possums, gliders and phalangers. Other creatures can, in fact, find this place a little... hyperactive. And noisy. And messy, if there happens to be fruit about. |

Geehi Gorge
Elyne Mitchell herself said it best: 'Those strange, silent flats, enclosed from the outside world by the Alps and the steep Geehi Wall, whose only outlet, the Murray Gates, is filled by the rushing river, where Townsend towers above, benign in the sunshine but with a potential force that can always be sensed.' This is a fairly safe place for a herd or two (or even three if they were small herds and did not bother each other), with plenty of grazing most of the time and a permanent water source, the Geehi River. |

The Leatherbarrel
This deep, lush, green valley is fairly hard to get into from the Ramshead side, the way up or down consisting of two steep tracks winding steeply from a spur at the western end of the range to the valley floor far below. At the other end, the valley is much gentler, and opens out onto the Murray River. |

the Moyangul Valley A deep, mysterious valley wooded with dark pine trees instead of the usual eucalypts, the cold Moyangul River winding along the valley floor often obscured from view from the ridges on either side by the stately outline of the pines. Here, in the extended twilight cast by the shadows of the trees and the steep hillsides enclosing the gully, the Brumbies of the Night graze sometimes, and sleep through the brightest part of the day under the protective shade. |

Yooralla Grove
Yooralla means love - and if you feel you must rp out your breeding scenes, this is the place to do it, not anywhere else. Remember there could be kids around despite everything we may try to use to keep them out of certain things, so please leave out the really graphic stuff. Think of it as a challenge, to hint at things rather than blatantly stating step-by-step what goes on, and leave the more 'adult' stuff to the imagination of those who want to imagine it, rather than upsetting the people who don't actually want those mental images. And you should know without needing to be told what words you shouldn't be using on this board. ;) The password can be obtained from the admin, but DO NOT ask for it if you do not want to read the posts inside, or if your parents would not be happy with us if they found you reading them, or if your age is not on your profile (yes, the admin of this area does check). After all, you don't want us to get shut down for corrupting minors, now, do you? Not that that's the sort of thing any of us would do, of course... Forum Led by: Cupids |
