every good nation has its laws, every good institution their guidelines. so catharsis theory jumped on the bandwagon. these rules are mandatory reading.

a little confused about what exactly is going on? that's okay, we've got information for you right here.

are you sick of your biology teacher? need to rant about your neighbor's annoying dog? or maybe you want to talk about the latest movie craze, or just relate to someone? well, chatting and the gift of gab are great tools, and you can use them here.

we admit, sometimes, we get confused too. if you're unsure of something, or just want to clarify things, or maybe have no clue what is happening at all, you can ask us about it here.

soldier, mia is not a good term to hear tacked onto your name. please post here, so we don't delete your account.

every good site grows through networking. we love hearing from guests about their sites, and we love seeing our members' sites as well. affiliating can be done here, as well, but please read the rules first! we are guest friendly.

in the beginning of catharsis, there was life.

please follow the form inside when creating your characters. make sure you have read the rules and the species information as well.

if you have more than one character, you may choose to make a log for them. it's just a thread to help you keep track of what's going on with your little herd of horses.

everything else to do with characters is kept here.

contains: plot, adoption, herd updates.

one of the ragged, worn out lands of catharsis, vindicio is a winding area of sparse, dying meadow that is separated into halves by a slender creek. it is the land where enmity can come to be claimed by an acumen.

one of the only free lands undamaged by the wars, solum is the only place that unclaimed equine may come without expecting damage. a popular hang out for free enmity, solum is a quaint meadow that outstretches broadly to either side. its western section dwindles into a sandy white beach, where the tide is soft and cool, while the northeastern side winds back toward the shores with heavy black rocks that form a cliff side near the shore. there are several nooks and crannies to be discovered in solum, which covers a good section of the free lands of catharsis.

ironic is it that orsus, the land of life, is located within the same forest as carus, which takes so many beings from the earth. orsus is a thick area of the forest where lovers may come to create another life.

for centuries, the river ignis has been signified as the birthing grounds of catharsis. it is a plain meadow, laced with thick evergreens. as its name suggests, a stout, unrelenting river curves its way throughout the small meadow, its force unlike many seen within catharsis. it is the river of fire to many mares, as foals who are stillborn, or die shortly after birth, are often tossed to the river's frothy embrace.

not to be confused with the colosseum, carus is the land where the regular power struggles of gang fights take place. it is a heavy, wooded area, where clearings are few and far between and fights are generally difficult to sustain. the thick trunks of trees are experts at hindering attempts to attack, and weaving through the massive timber in carus is a feat very few can successfully accomplish. gang fights take place here.

a dusty, ancient field filled with swaying, dying grass, the graveyard has been dubbed rightfully. it is a somber place, filled to the brim with death. it is nearly never sunny hear, and is veiled within an ever-constant blanket of thick, gray fog. horses who are not slain in the colosseum come here to die.

in the middle of the free lands is a curious structure indeed. whether it is natural, or equine-made is undetermined, but that is not what is most striking about the colosseum. its large, rocky pit is several feet deep, with low, winding paths on two sides, where contestants filter in. a plateau rests around this pit, where the soil is hard as clay and thick, winding trees grow. entertainment and death is the only reason for this bloodied land, and the fights that occur here are purely for sport.

the upside is the name of the fancier districts in catharsis. these lands have seen the least damage in the years since the good king fell. but they are deceiving; despite their charm, eloquence, and good looks, the upside is a dangerous place to venture alone.

characterized by the wasteland atmosphere, downtown is probably the last place anyone wants to find themselves. death is embodied here, with sharp, craggy rocks, fields of dying grass, and rotting timber. these are the slums of catharsis, and where quite a few meet untimely demises.
