Basic Information
The equines that reside in ashland are more of a hybrid type of creature. They possess mutations(wings, cloven hooves ect.) and some even have powers, but their body type, breed and base colors are the same as a normal horse. These equines that live in ashland are called Hybridae Equus, the scientific term that is tossed at them for their hybrid type. They come in all basic horse colors and carry the genes for normal horse markings but they also carry genes for wings, horns and any other mutation imaginable!

Genetics
All first generation horses(i.e horses not born on EoA) are given all homozygous gene's 99% of the time, though some gene's will be made heterozygous just to keep them from ebing overpopulated(like pinto patterns, common mutations ect). All second generations and onward that are foaled will be genetically correct according to their parents and will be given their set of mutation genes apon birth.

Society
The equines here are highly social animals and they thrive on strict social orders and a dictator like leader. What the lead says, goes, no matter what. The herdmistress is more like a mare to carry the heirs to the throne, nothing more, nothing less. In their society, males are superior and femals are used for breeding. Males are highly territorial and will fiercely guard their females. Most males are reluctant to have more then three extra males in their herd unless they are very war oriented and feel like building up an army. The lead breeds with all his mares, his herdmistress is just their to give him heirs to the throne and is always dethroned from her position if she does not foal a colt on the maiden mating. After that, if she does not foal a colt she is sometimes dethroned depending on the stallion. Fillies are highly valuable after the heir if given because fillies are often used for trading and deals among herds.

Location
This wondrous land that was discovered by scientists in located in the middle of the ocean, towards the equator and close to Australia. Being as such, the environment is nearly always humid and hot, with the winter bringing torrential downpours and sometimes flooding to the lower lands. These equids have never really known the touch of humans, they've seen the creatures but they have never been captured. The island is rather large and covered in rainforests, lakes and mountain ranges. Hidden behind one of the mountain ranges, is an enclosed desert. This area gets no rain due to the placement of the mountain peaks around it and it's southwest location on the island.

Researchers
This island was discovered in 1630 by a Dr.Adam Johanson. In the year 1652, he was slaughtered by G'Henna, at least that's our best guess. You can see his journal here: Click to read. Now, it is the year 1800 and Dr. Wallace Rogue, a distant relative to Dr.Johanson, has returned to study the creatures, but there is only one left, G'Henna and G'Henna isn't to keen on having more humans ruin his home. He needs you to come back to the island and give these researchers a run for their money! Dr.Rogue's journal is here: Click to read.
