Leader: Renata

The oracle; She who communicates with the Goddess Lithea and passes on her wishes and knowledge

As Oracle, Renata almost always goes shrouded in a cloak of some sorts. Its fabric is study and elegant, flowing towards the ground as if it was made of waves of the sea. In color it’s the same blue-green as what represents the herd. It holds no design or embroideries, giving of a sense of sobriety and calm. Reaching to the ground it shrouds all but her face from view, her front legs only showing when walking. Its fabric is held together by a small golden clasp that represent the herd’s symbol. The snake’s eyes are made of blue-green crystal. On her head Renata wears a delicate golden circlet, another gem embedded in it to rest between her eyes. It too is the same blue-green color that represents the herd. On her right front leg, one may find an intricate golden band which has been embedded with pearls. For ceremonies she is known to wear glowing paints which are painted upon the mare’s face, the designs referring to their deity in one way or another.

Continent and map:

Reythe is the the territory in which Asharanti herd resides. It exists on an isle several miles of the coast of the nearest mainland and has its own micro climate. Coast are a mix of sand beaches, rocks and cliffs which give way to an abundance of green vegetation as you travel further inland. The middle of the isle is covered entirely in mountains, making it difficult for strangers to navigate. At the heart of the mountain area you’ll find one mountain is not so much a mountain but a volcano, Ithris, considered the beating and living heart of their isle. It is considered sacred land and an area that spreads several miles around Ithris is not built upon. Only pilgrims or those on a similar religious journey may enter the area. Horses are expected not to leave any waste around and many even fast as they enter the volcano’s territory. The weather is generally pleasant though humid, hosting a humid subtropical climate. Clouds of mist can be found hanging around the mountain tops during the mornings. The climate allows for a wide variety of vegetation, Asharanti also known for their many products such as medicine, color enhancers and much more derived from these plants. Many small villages litter the isle, the biggest being near Ithris, the capital Ithrea. Here the Oracle also resides. Houses are generally built of wood or stone, allowing for sturdy settlements.


Mythical familiar:

The knott are tiny cervine creatures whispered to roam the mountain forests. They are small, only the size of a big house cat and are rarely seen. Head and back are covered in tiny scales of many colors, often vibrant in appearance next to their dull brown coat. They have both small antlers as sharp canines to defend themselves if need be, the later whispered to be poisonous. It is said some sprout tiny wings from their shoulder, barely allowing for their bodies to be carried. These shy creatures are not often reported but nonetheless assumed to be there. They are subject to both fairy tales and scary stories, ranging from the tiny creatures appearing and helping horses who’ve found themselves in dire situation to poisoning those who have wandered away too far from the path of morals. Whatever the case may be it would not be the first horse who got home talking about the elusive creature which is seen as the eyes and ears of Lithea on the Isle.
