Species: Horse and Wolf

Deadly Roses
Note: The wolves just roam through the horse's lands, conversing with them and preying on them, while some just take smaller quarry and help protect the Lights and Neutrals, spying, and in return they do not prey on their young or weak. The war begins at 500 Posts.
History: Long ago, before the horses, Deadly Roses was known as the Land of Flames. Fire spewed up everywhere out of the ground, forcing the ancient creatures known as dinosaurs away from it, but eventually the dinosaurs died out, and the flames cooled.
The land was extremely fertile from the ancient bones of unfortunate dinosaurs, and from the lava that consumed them, and humans came to be. These humans brought with them the creatures known as horses. They were a mixed lot, some being pure-blood Arabians or Thoroughbreds, and then there were the little mixed-breed ponies. As more humans came, so did more horses, until there were so many the land was overrun with animals and people.
Life was good, and the humans were happy, but then the wolves came. The wolves were from many different packs that had almost been wiped out by humans, from all over the continent. there were rare breeds and common breeds, but all were starving and had a hunger for vengeance. The wolves started attacking the humans and horses, and an all-out war was begun. the wolves, who were greatly out-numbered, fell, leaving but a few, but the humans were panicked and they ran, leaving the horses to themselves.
The horses were smart, and they escaped, but the Land of Flames was destroyed. As years passed, Nature destroyed and covered up the scars that the humans had left on her pelt of life, and the horses forgot the beautiful land. Until, of course, a young mare by the name of Kiara came upon the land, searching for the legendary lost herb of her herd, the Deadly roses. They used the herb to heal, but it was hard to accurately control the dosage for them, so many of the herd died from the plant. Kiara's herd was in danger from a plague, so she had to find the mystical plant.
She was leading a small band of the herd with her, for protection, and they came upon the beautiful land. They searched for a week without finding the plant, but Kiara was wandering alone and thinking when she felt strangely happy. She looked around her, and the legendary flora was surrounding her. She carefully retraced her steps and found the others and led them to the glen, and they hurried back home to their herd with the wonderful news.
When they got back, they found the herd in chaos and the lead stag dead, from the stress and worry. Kiara and her childhood friend Veer quickly took control of the herd and announced that they had found the flower. the herd was instantly heartened, and they willingly followed them to the lands. however, the journey was foine for a group of only five horses who were young and fleet, but a whole thirty-horse herd was too much. Soon there were stragglers and much dissent among the herd, and a young stag named Radar soon started devising a plan to steal the herd's support. He asked where this mysterious land was, and a good bit of the herd backed him, about a third, and he proposed to lead them off on his own. kiara tried to point out that he didn't know the way, but he said he could find it better than they could, and Veer let him go. Radar went on, and by some unfortunate twist of fate, found the lands, but on the farthest side where the winter ruled the land almost all year around. He and his small herd decided to stay there, and they climed their lands.
Kiara and Veer kept the herd together, leading them on to the land, and they found the darks, as they had taken to calling themselves. The Darks started tormenting the others, and about hald of the herd retaliated, while the other third stayed neutral. Soon, the herds split from each other, becoming the Neutrals and the Lights.
The Lights and Darks kept fighting, but not a lot, just a few skirmishes. Until Radar openly declared war on the Lights, declaring that they knew of the wolves in the lands and wanting to kill them.
Now the Lights and Darks are bitterly warring, hatred and the love of survival spilling into their hearts, or for the Darks, black holes, while wolves roam the land, searching for prey to take.
