In the shadows of two of the tallest peaks in the mountain range, rests the land known as the Forbidden Dale. The forested path that winds down out of the mountains is steep and treacherous to those who do not know it's dangers. The mountains meld into rolling foothills - filled with broad gentle slopes, long narrow ridges, and miniature valleys. Vegetation of all sorts is abundant and the runoff of all the surrounding hills funnels into a long, narrow lake in one of the largest valleys. Beyond the undulating and green foothills resides a dark and deep forest; the trees are so dense that it is dim even in the light of day.

If you see something wrong or changes to be made, please let me know. September 8th - The Dale has become a part of Beyond the Mountains.

The herd list has been cleared, but I will add back any herd members who rejoin here on Beyond. July 9th - Updated the board. Rhaego has an open post in the lake for this breeding season for anyone interested. Also welcome Bastille whom will be serving the Dale in return for a home for himself, Larka, and their daughter Valerian. Rhaego is actively working to return Aileen back to the Dale. December 7th - After unintentionally forfeiting his land about a year ago, Rhaego has gotten him land back! He will be working on re-establishing himself and the herd that he had.

Thank ya much! April 12th - With the warmer months and the growing season, Rhaego is focused on growing the herd and his bloodline.

January 13th - The Dale has been challenged for by a mare named, Apache. Rhaego has of course accepted and the battle is taking place now.

 She was idly letting her umber pools creep through the viridescent boughs above the small mustang. It was then that she heard his call, and allows her dark gaze to move over to him, he had startled her a bit, but she didn't let this show, for this was her king. He shouldn't know those weaknesses she had. Respectfully, the dryad dips her little Spanish head to him. He then speaks, his rumbling, deep lyrics a pleasing sound to her audits now that she had begun to get used to it. "How are your patrols?" She answered as quickly as she could process, doing her best to be respectful of her king and the time he had set aside to talk to her, after all, she would expect the same from others. "They have been good; no evidence of any illness from what I can tell. Because of the frequent rainfall, I do not see evidence of drought. Overall, it is in very good health at the moment, although a few of them seem to be passing from infestation and old age, but this is a minimal amount and is natural, although sad." She finishes her report, hoping it will be pleasing, as it was to her, it meant that casualties were minimal and the forest was in great health, which is what she hoped for, and it was the blessing of her doing her job to the best of her ability, and, although she knew she had little ability to change what happened to the forest, she could do her best to protect it, as she did. The one thing she knew though, when summer came, rainfall wouldn't be as plentiful, but there would be a few summer storms, which posed their own risk to the forest she guarded so vigilantly, she knew that she couldn't protect it from natural causes, but she was beginning to realize that she must have been appointed to protect it from interlopers, or, maybe the other forest fae had tricked her into entering this equine society, unlikely, but still a possibility. However, she knew that there was no way she could fight off interlopers, but since Rhaego seemed to want to keep the forest strong and healthy as well, perhaps she was meant to alert him if anything seemed off, which for now, thankfully, it didn't. She wasn't sure why her fondness for the monarch of the Dale grew so, but she thought it had to do with the agreement she had forged with him, when one gives respect to one they swore to do so to, and they proved themselves worthy of it, there was something that gave a good feeling within her, he shared her pride, that much was for sure, but he did not seem to suffer the insecurities and fears she had; the fears that she wasn't doing something right and all would fall because of it. She then dares to raise her head and look him in his chocolate pools, waiting for him to reply, hoping she didn't mess up, but at the same time, if Rhaego couldn't understand what she saw, she would dare him to come into her world, just a little, and show him the things that she saw and felt. Such was the way of this dryad. However, she also felt that this part of her would get her kicked out if she wasn't careful, so she merely looked at him, no real expression evident, as even though she wanted his approval, she didn't need it, all that mattered was that she approved of her words and actions, and everyone else could have their own opinions, but that didn't matter. As long as she approved, it would be alright. Remembering her manners, she then asks him a question in return, quite curious as well. "And how are yours? I've heard you have had to deal with quite a few interlopers recently." ignoring the fact that she herself had been an intruder in the definition of the word, but this was her home, and she didn't mind if he got mad at her for it, she would merely skip over the topic. She was a spirit of the forest, she belonged here, even if it meant at first she shouldn't have been, now she was a resident of the Dale, and she took pride in that fact, doing her best to prove herself useful to herself, her king, and her people. |
