Land Claim.

[irae]

OOC NAME:
Irae
HORSE NAME:
Requiem
LAND NAME:
Aeternam
DESCRIPTION: Ringed by mountains covering the northern and eastern parts of the land, Aeternam is protected from the harsh winter and heat of summer. These mountains bring both cooling breezes from the high mountains and warm caves to rest in when the weather changes. Starting from the edge of the mountains a rolling valley lays out before them, green and lush, even though the sky itself remains a dreary gray for most of the time. To the southwest a large pond, filled and kept fresh by mountain streams gives water to all the land's inhabitants. Requiem, the king, can usually be found pacing the cliff's ledges, watching over his herd with a practiced and careful eye, keeping away the dangers that may lurk in the mountains from approaching his family. While the land remains safe for most of the year, harsh winters can drive hungry predators in looking for a meal, and waiting for the king to become distracted.

CLAIMING POST:
Requiem strode forth, his bay bodice gleaming in the afternoon sunlight, the slight break in the monotonous clouds giving the lands a new view about them. His nares flared, testing the air and finding no other scents, moving forward when he found the lands uninhabited. Requiem, for all his faults, was not one to walk into a new land without being cautious. For all he knew an irate king could be waiting for this very moment to attack. But nothing happened, and he continued his exploration in peace. His movement across the valley was slow, his grey eyes watching everything about him, searching for the moment when he would know that this land was going to be his own. It wasn't before he made it to the rocky cliffs of the mountainside that he knew that he would make this place him home. Jutting out from the side, the only path up there a steep ascent into what would be certain death if one were to slip, was a platform. He made his way up, hooves avoiding loose rocks and fighting their way up the mountain's face. When he reached the top, he looked out onto the cliff that had been much like his old home, where his grandfather, Raiga, once stood and ruled over his people. Requiem walked to the edge, placing his hooves into a spot that would surely be worn down over the years as he stood keep watch over his future herd, and bellowed his ownership of the land. "I, Requiem, lay a claim on this land and all who reside in it." His call would be heard for miles, echoing off the mountains and bringing his voice to all that needed to hear that he, Requiem, now owned his home, Aeternam, forever.


ooc: I wasn't sure if we were allowed to do this yet, but I decided I would post anyway. I can always save it for later, if you didn't want land claims yet. Since Reqi is looking at mares, I figured now would be a good time as any.
