Welcome to Tempered Calamity! For as long as horses can remember, this place has been their santucary far removed from the presence of any humans. Well protected and abundant in food and space, equines of all kinds have called these lands home. Over time, the original horses who settled here spread out to explore and established the territory boundaries known today.
On the surface things appear peaceful between the different bands as well as the free roaming horses, but all is not as it seems. The inhabitants here are under constant threat. Not only do they have to survive the elements and natural disasters and outwit predators, they must also face rival herds or individuals looking to steal land or other horses.
Tempered Calamity is a semi-realistic wild horse rpg inspired by old school play by post forums. Low word count and minimal activity requirements, come check us out or say hey on our discord!

A vast grassland that seems largely unaffected by the changing seasons, horses of all kinds gather here for all sorts of reasons. Within the edges of the prairie, all are equal and must leave their disputes or prejudices behind. Some horses who remain unaffiliated with any of the major herds call this place home or form smaller bands, though not all free roaming bands are friendly. [/presto]

A great divide that serves to separate the northern lands from the neutral lands, the earth here has been split open leaving a deep crevice that is treacherous for wandering horses who aren't careful to watch their step. [/presto]

No vegetation grows here, the land void of anything green. Formed by molten rock that has since cooled, the ground is black and unforgiving. Horses who come here may find their hooves hardened or even sharpened upon striking the rough terrain. [/presto]

An extremely narrow sandbar stretches between The Mainland and The Archipelago and only surfaces during the Summer and Autumn months. Even then the sand is loose and shifty, likely to disappear from underfoot at any moment. Not only that but various sea predators lie in wait for unsuspecting horses to make one small mistake and plunge into the waters. [/presto]

[/presto]
Located at the northern most part of the lands, the mountain range is both vast and well protected. An ever present cloud of fog covers the territory, providing excellent cover and serving to confuse any would-be intruders as they can easily lose their way in the dense forests that cover the lower parts of the mountains. |

LEAD OPEN

An expanse of elevated clearing nestled to the northeast side of the mainland, it shares a border with The Great Expanse. The ground is a patchwork of grass and rock intermixed throughout and is said to have been the first established territory when horses were still discovering the lands and settling here. |

Located to the west, The Overlook gets its name for the numerous scenic views over The Valley below. In the distance, one can also see The Misty Mountains, as well as the edges of The Great Expanse. The land is made up of several smaller rocky hills and the meadows that lie inbetween. |

Full of lush green grasses and gentle rolling hills, The Valley is a paradise for the horses who live here. However because the land shares a border with not only other territories but also the free roaming lands and with little in the way of protection from natural land formations, they are at an increased risk of intruders. |

Hot and dry during the day and cold at night, The Desert is home to only the toughest horses who can withstand the extremes. There is little to no shelter from the sun or protection from the winds that blow over the basin from the sea except for in small pockets if one knows where to look. |

Spanning almost the entire southeast most tip of the lands, The Swamp is lush with greenery. There are plenty of places to graze on sweet marsh grasses or swim but the horses who live here should always keep an eye out for the various aquatic predators that lurk just below the surface. |

LEAD Cepheus
[/presto]
A large island south of the mainlands it is known for its towering cliffs and lush foliage. The beaches here are made up of ground coral and seashells, making the sand coarse and giving it a distinct colour. Palm trees dot the landscape as well as beach grasses that grow throughout. |

A series of islands to the southeast of the mainlands. The main island in the group serves as the connecting point to The Crossing and the mainland and is covered in thick jungle. Surrounding it are a few smaller islands with varying terrain. The island to the west is relatively flat and only comprised of a large beach and dune grass. |
