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!

[attr="class","calamity-post-body"] Drooping eyes turned to face the mare, an apathetic expression on his face as he watched her unblinkingly. Dandelion's legs wobbled and he stumbled from the cliffs edge. Fully facing her now, he took in the unknown horse. Squashing any thought of them being one of his herd and the desperate hope that came with it.
His ear's went lateral, blinking slowly as he lowered his gaze back to the grass he had been absently chewing. But curiosity dug it's claws in before he could resume and he blurted.
"Have you seen anybody that- looks like me? Anybody?"
It was a shot in the dark, but he couldn't not try.

[attr="class","calamity-post-body"] He teetered on the cliff’s edge, staring into the face of certain death had always intrigued Dandelion and in a way gazing down into the valley below was doing so.
Death was just as much a part of nature as life was, maybe even more so. Equines were eaten and their bones left to rot, their flesh and blood fed others so they may continue. When they were taken by the earth did they support it as well? Did their blood flow into its crevices and feed whatever lurked beneath? He didn’t know, that was for other horses to contemplate. Horses with the time to philosophize and argue amongst themself.
Dandelion took in a heaving breath and bent down to gnaw at the grass surrounding him, trying to shake off his thoughts and do what he came here to do. But his mind still wandered even as he ate.
Just as he was surrounded with death he was with life, and it was truly beautiful. Plants trampled beneath his hooves and the bugs crawled underneath. Squirrels and song birds in the trees behind him. Each with their own cycle of life and death, their own families and their own lives.

Dandelion has no love of violence and refuses to engage with it unless there is truly no other option, he is a colt of few words and tends to express himself mostly through body language or short sentences. Being separated from his herd at such a young age has made it so his social skills are a bit malformed and he tends to be quite off-kilter when it comes to other horses. Having trouble reading others moods or being especially tactful. This has also led him to be especially susceptible when it comes to manipulation and trickery.

History
[attr="class","maintext"]
Dandelion was born uneventfully to a small herd. He was a healthy newborn and quickly gathered his bearings. Though him being hard of hearing was discovered a few days after his birth he had little trouble navigating the world. In his first few months he grew to be a kind and gentle young foal if a bit eccentric, often spending hours on his own frolicking or studying the world around him even when the other foals invited him to play. His favorite of the things he discovered being beetles, specifically June bugs.
[break] It was this fascinated that saved his life, as one night when he was spending time by his lonesome a tiresome beast emerged from the foggy mountains and attacked his herd, scattering them and leaving him stranded. Only having a puddle of crimson where his parents once stood.
