Welcome to the original birthplace of Dahak, Zara, ???, ??? This journal is maintained by TawnyAngel, Kaelyndra, tani! duh, and DareDelvil  Height: 16h Dahak's Stats Skill level: 70Power: 8 pts Strength: 12 pts Intelligence: 14 pts Wisdom: 14 pts Courage: 6 pts Luck: 10 pts Speed: 7 pts Agility: 15 pts Adaptability: 6 pts Stamina: 6 pts Special Status - Shaman Skill level: 70Control: 9 pts Efficiency: 7 pts Recovery: 11 pts
Personality: Dahak is intelligent, sharp-witted and guileful to the highest degree. He is loyal to and truthful with only the Queen, the Illusionist, his own family and those few he considers friends. Everybody else will deceived where convenient and possibly manipulated to the tri-coloured stallion’s purposes. He is proud of his status as the Katilenuck’s Shaman and does not hesitate to use this position to get what he wants both for himself and for those he cares for.
Location: Fyhi tel Oren
 Height: 15' 2" Zara's Stats Skill level: 0Power: 8 pts Strength: 6 pts Intelligence: 12 pts Wisdom: 14 pts Courage: 5 pts Luck: 11 pts Speed: 14 pts Agility: 12 pts Adaptability: 5 pts Stamina: 8 pts
Personality: Zara is a Nequus out for her own gains and no one else's. She doesn't particularily care what happens to the world one way or another, so long as her little chess game is played. Underneath her skin she's a severe control freak, though she won't admit it on the surface, and she uses her words to shape people in whatever way she feels necessary. She cannot stand losing, and will often walk away if she feels its a battle that she can't come out on top of, leaving her high aura with it. Her dreams are to follow in her mother's footsteps in the jobs of a tactition, and it is something that she will surely accomplish.
Location: Fyhi tel Oren Exclusively, she's afraid to venture out farther.
Their Tree is located in the Northern Quadrant

Currently
To do:
Work on my stock of healing plants. I need more varieties, which will mean trips off the mountain, and I need to encourage them to flourish and multiply. I don't know if my healing powers can fix withered plants, but it might be worth a try sometime. Other than that, I need to work on my magic, obviously, I always need to do that.
I am feeling:
Good. I am now respected and recognized in my own right and things haven't completely blown up with my family. I have a few good friends, and Virgil is always about so I'm not alone... Still, I'm starting to think that I might be missing out on something. A lot of other Katilenuck my age have love interests, some have even taken mates already. I've not seen anyone within our herd that catches my eyes, though. How would I know that any mare loved me for myself rather than my position? It's a dilemma, certainly, but I'm sure I can find a solution in the end.
My physical health is:
Good enough. I've been a bit preoccupied lately and have on occasion forgotten to eat. It's not that bad, but I am a bit skinny right now. Once I've got a few more plants settled into my patch, I think I'll feel more relaxed and remember these mundane little things like food and sleep; haven't forgotten that drinking is important yet though so that's one good thing.

Information on me
If a Jala does not know his flaws, he will soon fall.
If a Jala does not know his strengths, he will never rise to begin with.
Physical:
Appearance:
Tall, thin and strikingly coloured; I stand out well against any background, not least the ruddy rock and soil of my homeland. I have been told I look somewhat like a gangly mare in the past, but not lately for some obscure and magical reason. Still, people may say what they like about my height and slenderness; I feel it gives me an air of authority and grace, so there. My mane and tail are curly like my parents’, and predominately white but I have two thick red streaks at the front of my mane. Oh, yes, the rest of the colours; red and white from my father, blue eyes from him and blue and white from my mother in her patterning for the most part. My wings are the exception to that; their pattern is more uniform; white on the fore, red in the middle and blue at the back.
Strengths and flaws:
Well, physical strengths are... shall we say limited. I am not strong or tough or fast and I have next to no stamina whatsoever. About all I am fortunate in is my agility; I have always been surefooted and I am graceful both on the ground and in the air. Still, luckily in my line of work grace is about the only useful thing in that vein anyway. Nobody cares if the healer’s a weakling, but if he falls over his own hooves every three seconds, people would be prone to looking less well upon him, I feel.
Mental:
Personality:
I’m arrogant, I’m deceitful when it suits me, I’m witty, I enjoy good conversation and I can’t stand idiots. Rudeness I can put up with, disrespect I can tolerate to a degree but idiots really, really get up my nose. If you don’t have anything intelligent to say around me, you would be wiser to either keep your silence or only speak when spoken to unless you wish to earn my singular disdain. Other things about me... Well I can be loyal, I suppose, it’s just that very few people earn said loyalty. The Queen has it, Mordre has it, my parents have it and my brother Urien has it. There are a few that border on earning my loyalty, a few of the younger royals mostly, but other than that I’m as likely to use people and then drop them as to keep them on. Selfish, perhaps, but I’m a busy stallion; I only have time for so many hangers on at once.
Strengths and flaws:
Ah, this is the good news, I have more of these. I am both sensible and classically intelligent, as I’ve said I’ve a good sharp tongue in my head and I’m also good at honey-coating it when I need somebody to like me. I lack bravery, I suppose, but the herd has plenty of muscle that can fling itself into situations which require heroes and only one Shaman to patch them up once they’re finished. On the whole, I think it wiser to keep myself out of trouble. Other than that, obviously, there’s my magic. I’m not that efficient with it yet, but I recover it swiftly and my control is pretty good too. I don’t have anything to compare myself to on this score really, though, so I couldn’t say how good at it all I truly am.

Information on my powers
It’s a bit disorganized for now, might think of a better system later, but for now here is some information on how my powers are developing.
Stage one: I don’t have any idea how I did it, but I healed my leg. There was a gash along it, huge, bad enough to lame me I think though I can’t be sure because I never actually saw it. I feel oddly tired, tired in a way I haven’t ever felt before. I suppose that must be because I’ve used up magic? It can’t be an inexhaustible thing I suppose, it must be like everything else, like how you can only run or fly so long before you get tired, only think so long before your mind becomes weary. This is a bit difficult to get my head around, but I’m sure I’ll manage it in t he end.
Stage two: I replicated my healing on a scratch I sustained from a bramble. It was like there was this red patch of wrongness, and moving and chanting the right way made a wind spring up, which pulled it apart. It’s good to know it wasn’t just my imagination, that first time, but I would like to practice on something bigger than a small scratch. That means I shall have to hurt myself. Great.
Stage three: I seem to have hit a snag. I made the red wrongness go away just like before, but most of it came back after a few minutes. The cut I made on my leg isn’t as bad as it was when I created it, but that isn’t the point. The point is that I’m doing something wrong, not controlling it right. I’m sure I did everything the same; I moved and chanted and the wind came down but then somehow the magic unwove itself. I’m not sure where to go from here.
Stage four: I’m still having trouble getting my work to stick, but I have made some progress. Small things will stay healed for me without any trouble, so I suppose it must be the degree of the injury that is stopping me. I can make the healing happen, but I can’t keep it happened. I have a feeling I need some help here, and I think I know where to go to get it too.
Stage five: Right, I have the theory now. I need to somehow finish the job, put a bit more power in after the injury is gone. I am, after all, changing the way the world works with the power of my will alone, I suppose it stands to reason that I have to make sure my changes stick. I now also know that there are some places in the world that are more magical than others, and I shall seek these out as often as possible.
Stage six: I noticed something looking at a plant today. It looked right. Odd, I know, but it did. I looked at it for a while longer, and I just got this unshakeable knowledge that when eaten dried it helps with headaches. I think this knowledge must be a part of my magic, and it seems to me to be a very useful part. I shall find myself a fertile patch of land and start planting useful herbs and such in it. Once I am announced as the herd’s Shaman, I shall share my knowledge of the plants I find with our doctors.
Stage seven: Success! Aeolus was injured by an Aeri, and I healed him. All the redness was frightening, but I beat it off and kept it that way. He was on his hooves within seconds, and we escaped with our lives, and unscathed. It is time now for me to approach the Queen and tell her about my magic. I have a lot to learn still, but now I can actually start being of use to the herd. I can hardly wait!
Stage eight: I’ve discovered something today. If I half look at the real world and half at an injury, I can see the redness on the Nequus I’m healing. I’m also starting to feel like there are different qualities of wrongness, which makes sense. A cut has one feeling to it, a wrenched limb another, illnesses another still and so on and so on. I think to work most efficiently I need to see the kind of wrongness and adapt to it. Not sure how to go about that yet, but I’ll work on it. In other news, the herd patch is coming along quite well.

People
People; important things, even the unimportant ones. Wisest to keep notes about all of them, and how my impression of them changes over time if we meet often.
Nequus: Shadow
Encounters: IDTWIYA
Thoughts: Not many really, I was a bit busy thinking about myself.
Nequus: Udi
Encounters: PMB
Thoughts: A bit dense, kind of gullible, a bit dense.
Nequus: Aquila
Encounters: PMB
Thoughts: Angry, belligerent, violent, idealistic, self-righteous, b***h.
Nequus: Zara, tree-sister
Encounters: HWC
Thoughts: ...Not sure what to make of her really, I feel like I don’t know her that well. She’ll follow in mother’s hoofprint for sure, a good mind she’s got; this much I do know.
Nequus: Mordre
Encounters: OM
Thoughts: Wise old stallion, kind, humorous, steadfast.
Nequus: Lucina
Encounters: JABD?
Thoughts: Intelligent, good company, not as fond as she might be of her rank.
Nequus: Snow coloured bae
Encounters: BaP
Thoughts: None.
Nequus: Vox
Encounters: BaP
Thoughts: Big, green, knows his place.
Nequus: Boned aeri
Encounters: BaP
Thoughts: Scary, insane, intelligent, to be avoided like the plague.
Nequus: Aeolus
Encounters: BaP
Thoughts: Brave, not that smart, loyal, kind, headstrong.
Nequus: Xla’Lanan, father
Encounters: FaS
Thoughts: Proud, intelligent, sometimes stupid, sometimes git. Still, he’s my father and I love him.
Nequus: Xerris, sister
Encounters: MaD
Thoughts: I approve of her ambition, and I love her dearly... Still, I think it would be better for her if she longed for something other than magic. Ah well.
Nequus: Undine, mother
Encounters: MaD
Thoughts: My dear mother. I respect her very much, and I get along with her quite well; better now that I’m not being secretive and such. I love her as well, of course, but I feel that I don’t know her very well. I suppose children seldom really know their parents.
Nequus: Hera
Encounters: TotF
Thoughts: She seems to be something of a flirt, but she’s useful to me. I think her Eilir and my Virgil will have fine strong children.
Nequus: Virgil
Encounters: TotF
Thoughts: Good worker, and very loyal. He does his work very well and willingly too; couldn’t ask for a better bae-slave.
Nequus: Eilir
Encounters: TotF
Thoughts: Eh, she’s a slave; all I need to know is that she’s strong, healthy and going to be bred with Virgil.
Nequus: Queen Savit’Taren
Encounters: AAWtQ
Thoughts: She is a good Queen, and a good person into the bargain. I like her very well, and have endless respect for the patience with which she handles affairs of state.
Nequus: Sekhmet
Encounters: NF, BITYT
Thoughts: A bright, interesting mare. She should keep me sharp.

Encounter summaries
I don’t think we’re in Yisi anymore
Nequus: Shadow
Location: Somewhere in D’ob
Summery: Magic. I think I have magic, healing magic. That would make me a Shaman. Wow.
Practice makes better
Nequus: Udi, Aquila
Location: Yisi
Summery: Well that went badly. Cut my leg on purpose for practice, started fixing it, fell in water. Was nearly accosted by two big stupid Jala, magic partly undid itself, had to go home cold and sore and wet. Not a good day.
How we’ve changed
Nequus: Zara
Location: The herdlands
Summery: Met my sister out in the rain after some magic practice. We stopped to talk a while, went under a ledge for some shelter. Apparently, my ambition pleases her. I look forward to showing her my power one day soon; her reaction should be priceless.
Talk of the future
Nequus: Hera, Virgil, Eilir
Location: central herdlands
Summery: I have arranged with one Hera for a breeding between her slave Eilir and my Virgil. More slaves is never a bad thing.
Of magic
Nequus: Mordre
Location: The herdlands, a high plateau
Summery: I finally got around to going to the Illusionist for help. He has given me some advice which I think will be useful and has taken me on as an apprentice. All in all, a very good day.
Just another boring day?
Nequus: Lucina
Location: The herdlands, a secluded grove
Summery: I had been wandering about looking for one of those high magic spots Mordre told me of. I found one and was relaxing there when princess Lucina arrived. We talked for a while, and it seems that she dislikes the way people treat her because of her rank. She plans to be a teacher someday, and I told her of my plans to be ‘a healer’. After we had talked for a bit, we went for a fly together, and I find her to be a most agreeable mare; I shall have to seek her company out more often in future.
Bones and plants
Nequus: Lucius, Vox, Jacques, Aeolus
Location: Just outside the herdlands
Summery: Went out looking for haling plants, was attacked by Aeri, was saved by other Aeri, healed Aeolus (sucessfully!) ran away very fast.
An audience with the Queen
Nequus: Queen Savit’Taren
Location: The herdlands, a secluded oasis
Summery: I went to see the Queen today and showed her my powers. Everything went perfectly, and I am now Shaman Dahak officially.
Father and Son
Nequus: Xla’Lanan, Zara
Location: The herdlands, a plateau
Summery: Father found out about my magic, and is most pissed off. Well fine, maybe I should have said but let him be. Zara then showed up and was... eh, Zara. Before too long, both of them left me alone and I went to tell the rest of the family about my Shamanism.
Mother and daughter
Nequus: Xerris, Undine
Location: My herb patch
Summery: Ute brought Xerris to see me today. It seems my young sister has decided she wants magic. I can see this going badly.
The buzz
Nequus: Undine
Location: The herdlands, my herb patch
Summery: Ute came to me today complaining of a headache. I couldn’t see anything wrong with her. This is not good.
New friends
Nequus: Sekhmet
Location: My herb patch
Summery: I met a young mare who wishes to join the herd, and after thoroughly insulting me she gave me news of Ute.
Because I told you to!
Nequus: Sekhmet
Location: Just below my herb patch
Summery: Well, Sekhmet is having me take her to the queen tomorrow and had me heal a rit today. Why do I bother with her?
