A gorgeous image by KissItBetter~


You’re walking along a barren patch of desert when you see a yurt, just big enough for a person and a few horses, not too far off in the distance. You remember the report you had heard earlier that day about a looming sandstorm and decide to seek refuge in the yurt, whether or not it was inhabited.
As you approach the yurt, you see a young woman working outside, preparing for the ever-apparent sandstorm. You cough a bit, and she looks up happily, stops working, runs towards you, and hugs you. “I’ve been expecting you!” she says, laughing and smiling. You stare at her, wondering to yourself if she was right in the head. “The names Fatima, it’s nice to meet you..?” You give her your name, and she smiles. She winks at you and clicks her tongue a bit, whistling as she takes a good look at you.
Suddenly, a loud gust of wind brings a ton of sand down on you. Fatima sighs and growls a bit as she grabs your arm and pulls you inside the yurt. “Sorry about that,” she says, wiping you off. “I bet you have sand… never mind. I won’t ask.
As you wander about the yurt, scanning the dusty knick-knacks and rusted pieces of junk, Fatima babbles on about how she ended up where she did, how she’s doing, and how odd cheese tastes with sand in it.
You fix your eye on a picture of her on a stunning Arabian horse, a black palomino. Fatima looks over at you and scowls. “Don’t look at that picture, my hair was horrible.” Then she notices that you are not looking at her, but at her horse. “Oh… You’re here for the horses, not me? Fine then… let me show you.

Size: 330 feet north to south, and 350 east to west
Noted Locations: the feed shop, the Sultan's tent (Although she owns a 'castle' around the outer west bank), and the Tack/Equipment and Farrier shop
Terrian: To the north is many moutains, and through the caverns they have made enters a new realm of lush forests down a steep valley. We have not explored there much. Be careful if you do.
All around are small oasises. If you do not wish to fetch water yourself, we will always have water available for you. It is fine to allow your horses to roam, they will be safe here in Arabia. All we have to worry about are theives, nomads, and that damned wild arabian pack that keeps stealing our horses.

About... a century ago, Hidalgo, a now famous mustang raced against the finest Arabians in the Ocean of Fire. And some how, he won. Against all odds, this simple, small, and wild creature defeated the finest, most carefully bred thing on these lands.
It has now become a trend to trade off and purchase these horses.
Some find them foul beings, as they are stubborn. But they are beautiful.
We haven't had any in we have noticed. We'll inform you if we do.

The Feed and Tack Shop

Costs: 3k
In Stock: Always in stock

Tack
*Currently only Arabian tack in in stock
** Please note that any horse may only be equipped with ONE type of tack. So saying, if your horse already has a halter, he or she may not be equipped with another halter, or heavy tack or Dressage tack. And vice versa.

User Image

1. Mare Halter: A halter worn by mares. For those who don't have perfect recall, or simply just to look good. Halters are lightweight so as not to bother the horses.
2. Stallion Halter: A halter worn by stallions. It is slightly different from a mare's halter in that it does not have a browband.
Points: Both the mare and stallion halters will give the wearer a stat bonus of 1. The owner of the horse is free to add this point into the stat that they choose.
Cost: 8oo gold
Customization: Up to two colors, no patterns

3. Stallion Dressage Tack: Tack for a dressage horse. Mostly to look fancy than anything. It is light and does not affect the horse's movement. Currently there is no Dressage tack for mares available.
Points: The wearer of the dressage tack is given a bonus of 1 in the following stats...
- Intelligence
- Strength
Cost: 1,8oo gold
Customization: Up to three colors, simply patterns such as stripes or dots allowed

4. Mare Heavy Tack: Heavier tack for those who go for racing. Makes for a more comfortable seat upon the horse's back. The heavy tack is light like all other types of tack available so as not to cause the horse too much uncomfort in the heat.
5. Stallion Heavy Tack: Same as the mare's heavy tack.
Points: The wearer of the heavy tack is given a stat bonus of 3. The owner of the horse is free to add this point into the stat(s) that they choose.

Next Breeding slot opening - Feb. 15th PM sometime. --- Next Breeding raffle - TBA


Your horse has grown to it's adult stage, and you feel it's time that he or she needs to make babies and continue their glorious bloodline, or whatever. So you're here because either you've found a perfect mate, or one of the Sultan's horses has caught your eye and you're looking to breed with them. Either way, you're in the right place.

Breeding
1) Do not beg for someone's foals. You will be blacklisted!
2) You do not have to roleplay to snag a breeding slot, but there will be raffles for discounted breedings held monthly for those who do.
3) For the sake of everyone's sanity, 2 foals will be born per breeding. If I know you're a dedicated RPer, I might do a roll for the chance of a third foal, but don't count on it. And don't ask for the roll. I won't be happy if you do.
4) Foals may not be sold in away way. They must be GIVEN away!
5) Payment must be made in PURE GOLD. Items are accepted only for customs and auctions, and are not accepted for flatsales, raffles, or breedings.


Okay, now. Before we go any further, here are a few things you need to know.

- Breeding costs 10k. The price is to be split between the two owners. If you wish to breed with one of the Sultan's studs, it will cost you 8k. Why? Because normally one owner would have to pay only 5k for their half of the breeding. It works the same way, the Sultan chips in for the fee, but you still have to pay for the use of the stud.
- Normally only 2 foals will result from a breeding. If it's obvious that both the horses are very attached to their owner (have been RPed a lot), I'll feed them a special type of food that may increase their fertility. No guarentees, though.
- You may not cross breed horses. This is important. All our Arabians are of the finest, purest lines, and we will not allow their lines to be tampered with. Mustangs and Arabians may not breed.
- Only stallions and mares can breed.
- One owner may only keep one foal from a breeding. Meaning if you own both your horses, you can only keep one foal.
- If you cannot find a suitable stallion for your mare, you may request to use one of the Sultan's stud horses. This will cost, obviously. But you'll learn more about that later on.


Breeding raffles

Breeding raffles are an incentive to owners who RP. A raffle will be held monthly in the guild. It is open to all who RP. Pairs will be entered into the raffle. Each pair must have one RP detailing the meeting of the two horses, and two extra RPs per horse. This totals to 5 RPs total. Each must be at least 2 pages long with 15 posts per person. This will earn the pair one ticket. Any pair that enters with more than 7 RPs will receive an extra ticket.

The raffles themselves will be free, however, the owners will have to pay a price for the breeding. This fee will be less than the 10k one. Breedings won through raffles will cost 7k, with becomes 3.5k per owner.

Studs may not be used for breeding raffles.



Now, here's where you'll learn about studs.

The Sultan has, obviously, a very fine herd of horses. A few of these horses are chosen each year and put up for stud to the public (of Azale). For a small fee, these studs can be used to help better or further the bloodline of your own herd.

- Using a stud costs 3k, which is to be added to your half of the breeding, making the total 8k. Just in case this was missed back up there.
- If you use a stud, you are entitled to the decision of what to do with both foals born. Meaning you can keep one and do whatever to the other one (except for keep it). You may or may not want to give the second foal back to the Sultan. It is up to you
- You may request RP with any of the stallions currently up for stud. If things seem to go well and the horses fall in love, or something to that effect, the stallion will be taken off stud so that he can share a peaceful life with your mare, and a new stud will be chosen from the Sultan's herd.
- There will always be at least four stallions up for stud. To offer you a larger selection.
