Mares may not live here except as captives or companions for the Leaders. � Soldiers keep mainly to fighting, Thieves keep mainly to raiding, and Associates may do both, neither, or act as diplomats. Members may issue their own battles and raids, but should generally consult the General, Marauder or Boss for permission. � All major decisions are determined by vote, but the Boss maintains order within the Lagoon and has the final say. � Elections for leadership positions will be held every TLI summer, provided the qualifying criteria are met. � You can find detailed information about how the Lagoon works on the Rules page. � Upon election, the Boss can issue a rule for members to follow during their tenure. It is up to leadership to enforce.

KNOW THAT I WOULD GLADLY BE
the icarus to your certainty

Orphiel drew a ragged, shaking breath and slowly lifted his head as he looked across the shallow channels to where he understood the world beyond the island's lay. He took one step into the ocean, chilled so close to winter, then felt himself hesitate. If he left, wasn�t he committing the exact sin he�d just damned his father and his grandfather for? Wouldn�t that, in a roundabout way, force him to admit he was just as bad as they were? That when things become rough, they fled the islands, and damn whoever they left behind.

The wind blew and pulled his brown hair as Orphiel saw his daughter�s face. Well� a sickness hit his stomach, and then immediately guilt soured him. His heart was so torn, still in love with a mare he learned he couldn�t love, still in love with a child he wanted to say was his, but now didn�t want any� negative implication to touch her or her mother. What if someone beyond their small circle found out the real reason Parvati left the Thicket to return to Tinuvel? What if someone beyond their small circle found out why Orphiel, who was the Thicket Queen�s loyal lapdog, had suddenly vanished. He hadn�t come to Tinuvel with them.

Orphiel felt the tears well up in his eyes again, swiftly dropping his head and squeezing his eyes tight. He was so� tired of crying. He�d done so much of it ever since�

Ice in his gut. Orphiel hiccuped on a shaking breath and sniffled, slowly lifting his head back and looking quietly out at the unknown ahead of him. No, he would not leave. Despite how� complicated this situation was, Devi had no part in it and did not deserve to feel how Orphiel had felt, having been abandoned by his father.

He stepped through the shallow, foamy surf and turned himself to walk back up the beach, smelling the faint smell of stallions and sea, looking inland where Crossing Isle grew thick with trees and other vegetation. Orphiel had never traveled off of Luthien in his entire life, but he knew enough of the islands to understand where he was.

The Lagoon. Stallions without homes were welcome here, weren�t they? He could� He could stay here until he figured things out, right? A bit of nerves swept through his body and he swallowed, hoping he would be accepted among them. The dun moved forward, beginning to walk quietly through the territory in the hopes of finding another bachelor who lived here that he could speak with.
