Here you can post questions, comments or concerns for the Global Mods. You can email us at lostislands.staff@gmail.com if the matter is private, though please let us know as this address is not checked daily. You are also welcome to @Global Mods in the Discord server, or message us privately, but please be patient if we are busy or not online.

This is where you need to post to officially put yourself on away. If you are going to be away from the site or unable to post regularly for an extended period of time, you may go on away for up to one month, during which your characters will be protected from things like battles, raids and escapes. After this you and your characters will be considered inactive, and you will need to rejoin should you return.

For the sake of clarity, please clearly state 'away' or 'semi-away' in the subject line of your post, and make a new post stating 'back' on your return. While you are away you cannot post in-character, and any in-character posts will be classed as you returning and your characters will no longer be protected from that point.

You may also let us know here that you are 'semi-away', meaning posts from you will be slow, but all normal rules still apply to you.

If you wish to quit the game, please leave us a message here to let us know, though be aware that any characters without lineage (i.e. those who were not born or bred in-game) will be deleted from the Members page. All other characters will be listed as inactive unless you request for them to be deleted.

Defect Request<3

For my chianti x Hemp babe, Cynric.

* Guttural Pouch Tympany: Guttural pouch tympany is a congenital disease of horses, so the signs are usually seen in foals shortly after birth, and for up to one year of age or longer. For reasons that we do not understand, one or both guttural pouches fill with air that cannot escape and becomes trapped. These foals then develop a �chipmunk� appearance caused by air distension of the guttural pouch in the throatlatch. These foals are otherwise in good health, although some might experience difficulty swallowing and this might lead to aspiration of food and milk.

*There are three main diseases of the guttural pouch. The first is guttural pouch tympany.
Horses with this problem are born with a defect that causes the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube to act like a one-way valve. Air can get in, but it cannot get out. This condition usually occurs in only one pouch, but it can affect both.

Because it is a problem present from birth, most cases of tympany are noted within the first few days of a foal's life. Several recent studies have looked at the genetic component of guttural pouch tympany, and links with the disease have been made to some Arabian and Hanoverian bloodlines.

Horses with tympany show massive swelling of the neck and throatlatch. If this swollen area is tapped with a finger, it resonates like a drum, which gives the condition its name. Affected horses might exhibit mild discomfort or be unable to breathe and swallow correctly if the swelling is severe enough.

I provided a link below to one of the sites I looked at. Tympany is halfway down the page. c:
