A traveling herd of wild horses that all rely on each other to survive.
History
There was once a horse by the name of 'Wild as the Wind'. He was a 'gray', but his beautiful fur was white. The other horses in the barn simply called him Wild, for there was no containing his free spirit. His owner loved him and treated him like a king. One day, she died, and Wild was sold to a harsh man. He used a bit that drew blood from Wild's mouth, when Wild obeyed with a soft pull of the reins. He was whipped and mistreated. The gate on his musty stall was open one day, so he freed all the other unfortunate horses. They followed him, and when he died, named their group 'The Herd of the Wild'.
Founders
Wild and the other horses of the barn.
Beliefs
The Herd believes in a herd of ghost horses. They influence the Herd, but do not expect to control them. The Herd will do almost anything these spirits tell them. The spirits protect them from dark
spirits as well. They call the ghost horses, 'The Ancient Wilds'.
Traditions
The Herd travels somewhere different every two moons. They sometimes use old places, but more often then not, they go somewhere new. They prefer valleys, but will go anywhere with food. Every twelfth moon, they return to their original home, a valley with plenty food, almost no predators, and the Ancient Stone.
All band leaders, the Lieutenants, and the Head Horse travel to the Ancient Stone every twelfth moon.
Full-on fighting is prohibited, with the exception of a battle between the leader and a challenger.
Members of the herd are given a burial upon death.
You may change from your band to another as you become a Yearling.
