the three most important things about Land of the Heavans
Summer
Congratulations to LOTH for a new layout! Oh, and congratulations to our first winners for the "best of the best". As usual pony is claiming that the layout is "a work in progress", and promises to do a great job for when it is finally done, with the quote "I have big plans for LOTH". She also asks for everyone to comment somewhere in the c-box, and to please give suggestions for the side bar, as she also wishes for it to be as long as the forum "for the purpose of aesthetics". The best of the best is an open awards system. If anyone wishes to nominate for a category, please PM the admin, and the entrant will be judged. Please do not nominate yourself! the ice of winter has arrivedAnd on time this time! Winter in the Land of the Heavans is an unusual affair. The eucalyptus trees are ones that have never chosen to loose their leaves, no matter how cold the season. And, as these amazing plants dominate the landscape, Land of the Heavans has become a stunning sea of snow and leaves. Winds are common in winter, sometimes whipping up blizzards so strong that it is impossible to see one's own feet. Only the valleys of the mountains remain unchanged, and the valley of the night is devoid of harsh winds. a new month has arrived, and with it, it is Summer! Beaware of fires, long grass and snakes. The herd of the sun is now (generally) a stronger and more dangerous herd, although the strength has not enlightened them in any way! beware the herd of the sun!Pony has gone crazy... again. as a result, she has spent her time improving the site, you will now find a word count, and functioning "money" to play with - however the rewards are not cheap! and... the new layout! thankyou to inthename-stock@deviantart.com for the background, which has been slightly modified to suit. If anyone has more ideas for the improvement of the site, do not hesitate to PM the admin.
In the tales of old, there once was a land. A land of legend, it was said, that was a table cloth upon a table; so high that it was part of the heavens themselves. Protecting the land were treacherous cliffs, steep inclines and tor upon rocky tor. Select few actually knew of the safe paths into the land, and those that found their way, were considered to be blessed by fate herself.
The land itself was one of beauty mystery and magic, filled with creatures and plants as old as the very land they walked upon. The mere sight of life in this land would have startled most old worlders, for it contained creatures like none other.

Cambyses - King of the Venus « Thread Started on Mar 1, 2008, 4:11am »
Cambyses 6 years 16.2hh Stallion He has a coat of jet black Eyes of warm, honey brown White muzzle and small star Personality: Cambyses is, by title, the King of the Venus, but it is clear who, to put it informally, "wears the pants" in the herd of the Venus's monarchy... and that would be their very own Queen Jewel Tongue, their Queen Narcisse, a born and raised leader. Cambyses, however, is irrational and impatient and overall just very loud and obnoxious. As Narcisse would say, it took him long enough to grow up... and yet, he is still not entirely as mature as one would think, him being King. King Cambyses has a love of luxury and of pointless pleasures, and he has countless little hobbies that amount to nothing. He is easily bored and quite random and enormously humorous, and his herd absolutely loves him, for he is so pleasant and amicable and uneasily irritated. However, like any of the herd of Venus, he can be a bit vain and haughty around those of other herds at times... After all, he is quite handsome and good-looking, so he has good reason... but, we can forgive such a lovable soul for anything, really, can't we? Insensible and flighty, the party-loving Cambyses could never be trusted to make decisions for the herd, so he leaves Narcisse doing that and goes off playing and whatnot instead... Other information: Nicknamed "The Clown King."
Plots involved in: Tulkas/Assassins Herd: Venus Herd Status: King
History:
Cambyses was born to fairly high-status parents. When he was only a year old, Princess Narcisse, the herd's first heir, was born, and they all rejoiced.
Cambyses and Narcisse always had a special bond, which both of their parents noticed right from the beginning. They made excellent playmates, because their personalities seemed to compliment each other perfectly... Narcisse to control and put a damper on the then wild and roguish Cambyses, and Cambyses to listen to Narcisse without involving her status, which is something very few horses did at that time, her being the precious and treasured heir.
They were eventually announced mates, and although Cambyses can be talked into a serious mood now, and although Narcisse can now be cajoled in romping with her daughter and mate like a filly, their relationship is essentially still the same.
The Rules of the C-BoxSimple really: Use your name, and no other. Do not abuse others. Do not swear or use profane language. Ignore pony's tyop's. Otherwise, enjoy!
