Boss's Decree

"For every brother you bring to our
midst, you may keep a trinket all to
yourself. She will not be sullied or traded, unless you deem otherwise. But should you bring a mare here without a new brother first, then I will consider her property of the Lagoon as a whole
and do with her as I see fit." - Garmr

Rules

• The Lagoon is where homeless stallions come to live as a brotherhood. 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.

I CUT A STOUT BLACKTHORN FOR TO BANISH GHOSTS AND GOBLINS

[cw: brief mentions of loss/drowning, and a moment of passive death ideation]

The sun rose over the Islands, and there, upon a muddy stretch of Lagoon shoreline, a figure lay prone halfway to the hightide mark, sides rising and falling irregularly. His white tipped tail, strewn over the dark sand, was kissed by the incoming tide, and minutes later, when it lapped at his hind fetlocks and washed the mud from his chipped hooves, he stirred, groaning and wincing with the movement.

A curse was uttered ‘neath his breath as pain rippled through him, and he blinked his bleary eyes until he could make out features of the landscape before him. For a brief moment, his heart lurched - it all seemed so familiar - but the sound of the waves hissing softly as they rolled onto the sand around him dragged him back to reality.

Drawing in a deep breath, flinching again as his ribs protested, he let loose a ragged call. From beneath his knotted mane, his ears twisted, straining to hear something, anything. But it was just him, and the ocean, and the sounds of the bogland before him.

Something like a sob rumbled from deep in his chest, and his eyes stung. With no reason to rise, he slumped back over on the sand, willing the ocean to take him. He’d find his beloved Lirín in the watery depths, along with Branóg, his little shadow, and the last of their broken family that had followed him into the sea before the storm had torn them all away from him. They would be together again, and could go on to seek the spirits of those that had been lost to them earlier in their plight.

But just when the saltwater was frothing at the curve of his back, the wind fell still and gentled the sea, so that the sounds from inland were carried to him, ringing so true, like a song that had resonated in his bones from before he’d been born. Face damp from saltwater that had not come from the sea, the stallion’s heart twinged, and a ghost of a smile twitched across his pale mouth.

If he listened hard enough, he could almost hear the murmur of his small herd, the lilting laughter of his daughters, and his firstborn’s voice calling out to him, deeper now that he was on the cusp of maturity. As his eyes fluttered open, the memories faded, and the stallion grit his teeth against the pain as he heaved himself to his hooves.

New wounds would heal in time and join the fading scars already marring his hide in places, but the agony that went unseen - his heart torn to pieces and yet somehow still beating in his chest - would remain. Beaten and bloody and bruised as he was, there was something in the stallion’s spirit that refused to die.

Turning back to let his blue eyes scour the sea, his head hung low. No sign of his handful of surviving mares and foals. "If they’re gone, truly," he murmured to the wind, throat tight and aching, "then it is for me to remember them, so…" He turned, and ventured deeper into the marshy terrain, limping and weary, but alert, and thirsting for drinkable water.

This land was unknown to him, yet he navigated it as though it were second nature to him. If it turned out that any of his family had survived, he was certain they would end up here, and so, lifting his head and calling out to announce himself, the stocky roan stallion resolved in his heart to remain, so that he would be waiting to reunite with those he loved with all that he was.
