ALLIANCE CREATION CONTEST

Yes, you heard right! We are officially hosting an alliance creation contest to help promote activity for the site. This will be the fourth alliance and you will have the honor of making it. More than likely it'll stick around forever even if you can't rule it any longer so come forth and make history! We are currently looking for active members looking to rule the alliance, not people who will join to try to win it but then decide to walk away if they don't. That is not how this is going to work. Therefore there will be some requirments before you can audition.

- Must have made at least 5 IC posts with one or more characters.
- Must have been logged on for three seperate days.
- The character you are auditioning to lead the alliance must be created from scratch for this very reason. If you lose any items paid for this audition will be refunded if you desire but only if you are willing to give up the item.
- You must be willing to get on daily and post twice every week to run an alliance!
- You will have free reign over your alliance as long as it does not break the TOS or rules.
- Have fun while auditioning. There is no set end date, when an amazing tryout comes along then we will close it and announce the winner.

So to be able to build an alliance you will need to fill out the following form:

ALLIANCE CREATION ENTRY

Alliance Name: Valora
Alliance Name's Meaning: Great courage in the face of danger / in battles
This (made up) word in particularly a word those who are courageous, brave, honest and loyal
Alliance Royal Land Description: Valor is surrounded on all sides by a treacherous landscape - mountains, valleys and Hell's River. Many have perished trying to reach this mythical land. However, those with enough valor to find their way past the natural obstacles will come across a beautiful paradise. The grass is forever green and many plants with unique properties and uses can be found here. There are many hidden waterfalls and caves with enough resources to sustain a large herd for many centuries.
Alliance Morals and Culture Description: Those who join this Alliance must agree to do the following:
- Not speak of the land Valora to others outside of the Alliance-no exceptions unless appealed to before a monarch
- Pass a Valor test
- Once accepted into the Alliance, must always wear the base Symbol of the Alliance, an eagle feather, in their manes or forelocks- it can be hidden or displayed, but random checks will occur by the reigning monarch. If you are not wearing the base Symbol of the Alliance, a punishment may be served out.
- If you have lost your Symbol, you must appeal to a monarch or herd leader for a replacement, depending on your situation.
- The symbol stating your position in the Alliance must be kept visible and reapplied as needed (blueberries for the blue marking, crushed leaves for the green)
- Leaving the Alliance is an option, although an oath must be sworn to never reveal the location of the Alliance
- Different Ranks amongst the Alliance will have different Symbols on top of the eagle feather
- Punishments are decided by the whole Alliance, however the reigning monarch has the final decision
Alliance Plans: The Alliance is a secretive group who pride themselves on their honesty, bravery, courage and loyalty. Anyone who does not have these same morals are considered vermin and need to be dealt with accordingly.
Strategic members of the Alliance are to be placed among the lands to spy on other Alliances. If other beings among this land are treated unkindly or badly, the Alliance step in and will attempt to overpower the monarch who is treating others unfairly. The Alliance will then replace that monarch with another being deemed fit for the role.
The Alliance is not one who wishes to rule multiple kingdoms - merely test their bravery, loyalty and courage on others who are unkind and cruel towards others and replace those beings with ones who are honest. Anyone from the Alliance is not allowed to become a monarch for another land unless they leave the Alliance
Alliance Ranks: is posted in order of ranking
Monarchs / both king and queen are considered equals, although the Kings word will outweight the Queens if the situation arises
- King - Eagle feather + a blue hoof print on left flank
- Queen - Eagle feather + a green hoof print on left flank
Judging Panel / fall under both King and Queen equally. They are a selected number of horses who test those wishing to join Valora.
- Judges - Eagle feather + blue ring inside a green ring around the left eye
Army / under the direction of the king foremost and the queen as a substitute. Soldiers fall under the direction of their captains.
- Captains - Eagle feather + blue ring around left forearm
- Soldiers - Eagle feather + green ring around left forearm
Healers / tend to abide their own rules but report to the queen foremost and the king as a substitute
- Lead healer - Eagle feather + blue cross on shoulder
- Healers - Eagle feather + green cross on shoulder
Anyone else / refer to the King and Queen equally. Captains and those on the Judging Panel also have a small amount of authority. Soldiers have authority int he time of a raid or danger is present. Those who are not given a title including youngstock, mares, bachelor stallions and sub-herds fall under this classification. A series of test will be given to those who show promise for a certain rank and their position will be re-evaluated.
Alliance Rules:
- Always listen to those who hold a higher ranking than you. Severe punishments will be in place for those who disobey orders
- Never mention the Alliance to one outside the lands/Alliance unless express permission is granted from a Monarch
- Respect, honesty, bravery, courage and loyalty are valued above these traits. If for some reason a being displays a lack of one of these things, a trial will be held and a punishment will be given out.
- Rewards are to be highly valued and not handled lightly. Only those with a higher rank than you can give you rewards and all must be approved by a monarch
- Always wear your Symbol/s.

MONARCH AUDITION:

Ares

Nicknames: Nope
Gender: Male
Age: 5
Alliance: Valora

Appearance:
16.3hh
Palomino with 4 white socks
QH x Warmblood
Strong, muscular build
Eyes are a vivid glowing green
Green glowing zebra markings on his legs, stomach and on the underside of his neck and head
Scar running up his left back leg reaching up to his spine which gives him a slight limp due to muscles not setting right as he was healing. However, it does not effect his fighting ability

Weaknesses: Ares is a very strict leader who hates being ordered around and will get quite violent and disruptive if not at the top of the 'pecking order'. He can be merciless at times and extremely violent and unpredictable as well, particularly when his authority is undermined and people disobey him
Strengths: Ares is a very strong leader who is loyal, honest, brave, courageous and wise. Is very intelligent and good with words, especially when twisting the truth
Personality: Ares is a very impressive stallion who loves attention. He is born and made from leadership material and believes that all should be treated right. He hates being ordered around and will very rarely bow down to others. Ares epitomises the 'Valora values'
Ares is known to be a quick-thinker and always makes wise decisions. He is adept at getting others to follow his lead, twisting his words into an imitation of the truth (but never lying) and is a strong leader. His opinions are strong and he believes that he is always doing the right thing.
However, when his leadership and authority is undermined, Ares can be merciless and violent. Because of this he has always tried to hang around calm horses who can control him when he gets into his blind rage.

History: Ares was born to a pair of royals who were extremely strict. His parents were one of the first on the huge metal ship that carried them safely from the chemical-ridden land and they were one of the first to claim land in this new world. They tolerated no disobedience and treated their subjects like slaves. At a very young age Ares was struck down by his Sire who left him with his permanent disfiguring scar. Ares was left alone in the forest surrounding his parent's kingdom and would have bled to death if an apprentice healer had not found him. This healer took the 6 month old colt to his leaders where Ares stayed for the next 3 years.
It took the colt 3 months for his leg to fully heal. The apprentice healer had not enough skill to do anything more but keep infection at bay.
The healer had bought Ares to a rebellion camp, one that was aimed in dethroning his own parents. Somehow, his identity of 'Prince' was kept secret. For the next 2 and a half years Ares was trained in multiple areas - combat, assassination, learning of the different plants and their properties and how to travel and navigate lands stealthily and with ease. Ares contributed hugely to the Rebellion movement against his own parents, including leading the Rebellion against his parents. It was under his leadership that he got close enough to strike the killing blow to his father. However, in his dying breath his sire revealed his identity and Ares was forced to flee the rebel movement in fear of his own life.
It was at this stage that Ares stumbled across the huge valley that provided the only access to Valora. Exhausted, he stumbled through the valley for 2 days, fighting exhaustion and dehydration until he came across the centre of the land. It was here he spent a week recovering from his fighting and fleeing. For the next 2 months, Ares explored Valora and it's many secrets - discovering the hidden waterfall that masked the cave he made his home in between the two mountains that closed in two sides of the land. Discovering the watch platform which could only be accessed from a dangerous and treacherous path and learning of the different plants and their properties from his extensive training with the Rebels. Ares thrived on the land and the land seemed to thrive for him, although loneliness soon gripped the stallion and he set out to find mates and herd members.
