Wildflower Plateau
Wildflower Plateau is the sister-land to Brilliant Pampas, though the two have been separated since the Catastrophe. Wildflowers are this land’s specialty, and it sports more flowers than humankind has ever discovered. Every shape and size and color grows here, even throughout the harsher seasons. This land is in itself a rainbow, the trio of lakes at its core reflecting its beauty perfectly. Here or there, trees scatter shade across the landscape, completing the natural masterpiece.
This land is closed. No herds can live here.

i can’t tell you what it really is,
----------------- i can only tell you what it feels like.
Morbid gives the first sign that something is amiss with her nearly-blind peering, and Starlace instinctively turns her to look in the same direction. In doing so, she catches sight of Jehu behind her (about to pounce at her or something equally mischievous, she assumes) and she gives the child a half smile before her hazel eyes focus on the figure in the coming at them too quickly. Everything happens quickly, too quickly, and she is only aware of turning and shoving Jehu farther aside than his father already had, not bothering with gentleness as she bats him aside with her neck, placing her pale body directly between her son and the murderer.She does not see the light leave her guardian’s eyes, does not hear the words that he whispers to their son; her attention is riveted on the black stallion that had only hours ago asked for her to return to the Chamber. Why?, she wonders, realizing even as she thinks it that now is a poor time for such thoughts. Why now, why Siegos, why? Starlace did not love the chestnut stallion, though she foolishly imagines in the red haze of his death that perhaps she might have someday. The fear of Infection eating him spurs her forward, and she rears up lunges for the stallion,. She has no intention of hitting him with her hooves – she is too far away – but her teeth snap closed near his face, and if she catches skin she will not regret it.Morbid Reason’s predictably empty voice asks Infection if she is finished, and Starlace does not bother to face the dun mare as she hisses. “Yes. He’s done. You brought him here, now go both you you.” It is clear from her tone that she does not blame Morbid, only realizes that the king must have followed her here, and she will not have either of them here any longer. “Go!” she says again, and her voice teeters on the breaking point for the first time in her life.-----------------------------------s t a r l a c e
