Solai Valley exists in a time before humans, a world untainted by the touch of man kind. The earth is not as we know it. The continents remain joined, and a good portion of the animals are still to explore beyond their immediate horizons. The lands are fertile, and life moves along in perfect harmony.
In some undocumented time, a lone mare breaks away from her herd, leaving behind all she has known to venture beyond the rugged and merciless peaks that have been a boundary for her existence. These peaks have no name, and as far as this mare knows, no horse has ever sought to learn what lies beyond their snow covered summits. Through endless days and nights she toils, with no knowledge of where she was headed; only knowing that she must eventually reach a destination. Life must exist beyond the peaks, and she was determined to find it.
Close to death and growing weaker by the second, the mare finally sets hoof onto open land once more. She stands upon a small plateau, and below her stretches a luscious valley, so large that the peaks in the distance are but a pale smudge on the horizon, barely even recognizable as peaks at all. The terrain below includes plains, mountains and forests, enough room to sustain endless equine life. It is then that Solainn feels with utter certainty that she has arrived. Blissful days are spent within the Valley as Solainn explores her realm, regaining her health and committing to memory every inch of this new found paradise.
From beyond the clouds the Greater Gods watch, and a decision is made. They modify the path taken by Solainn to reach the Valley, careful to ensure it is still a challenge, but one that does not seem insurmountable. They wanted other equine to populate the Valley, but they did not want it overrun by the worthless.
Next they made Solainn a Lesser God, granting her control of the Valley, Solai Valley. They detail her role as a Lesser God, informing her that she may not mingle like a mortal, but that she must watch her mortal’s from afar. With this in mind, Solainn chooses a tiny part of the Valley as her haven, a place where her mortal’s may seek her out. It is from here that the Valley’s namesake decides who will govern the alliances, watching the inhabitants of her valley with a mixture of pride and amusement.
:: Solai Valley is a semi-realistic wild horse RPG.
:: It is for intermediate writers.
:: There is no magic allowed, and no mythical creatures. Solainn is simply a character upon which Solai Valley was founded, and the only one capable of throning/dethroning a King.
:: There are three alliances: Light, Neutral and Dark.
:: Each alliance is governed by a King.
:: There are no set areas for the alliances. Light and Dark may live side by side, a sure recipe for drama.
:: Staff positions are available, and will be given to the most active members over time.
