[Public] Wodes of the Swamp

[Andranis]

Within the western swamps, a herd lives. Magic runs deep, though not all is quite the magic of fairy tales. Some magic is more mundane, like the magic of 'knowing what plants might heal or hurt you' while other magic is the truly explicit 'the unicorn healer' type of magic. Secluded and somewhat secretive, but not hostile to the stranger willing to seek them out, the herd refers to themselves as the Wodes of the Swamp.

Rules
1. Have fun
2. No your pony doesn't have to be pure and good, but know that actions will have consequences
3. Don't antagonize the kelpies
4. No really don't
5. Unless it's a Herd Helper, not everybody is expected to stay forever. If the pony finds the swamp not so to their liking, they're free to go with no ill will from the leaders

Uuuuuh, more as needed, I guess?

Joining
Want to join? Just drop your pony in the thread and let us know! They ARE free to create new clans within the herd, if they're not joining an established clan! (At this time, Sinclair and Potter)

History of the Wodes

Many more generations ago than anybody knows, the first Soquili to reach the swamplands the Wodes herd live now found the area enchanting. In those days, they only bore horns, cloven hooves, some had leonine tails - And some bore dual pairs of wings. All bore magic, referred to by long-gone herds they'd passed as witches. These early Wode dwellers took the name with pride, perfecting their crafts, weaving their magic into the land around them.

They weren't alone, though. Eyes watched from the waters of the swamp, horse heads that bore fins, bodies that tapered and others that had tails that were broad and ended in fins, all with mouths filled with sharp teeth perfect for rending flesh. But they were also filled with curiosity about these magic-bearing strangers.

As some might expect, first contact between the witches and the water dwellers was violent, as there were those among the water dwellers who didn't like these intruders in the lands. The fighting went on for three seasons, before a stallion of horn and wing had a mare of land and water pinned, poised to kill... And then he really looked, and realized she was, in the end, still a horse just the same, if a different kind. He'd only been a foal, when the herd had been moving across the lands to their new home, had heard the harsh words of those who didn't want to understand, and he now looked into the eyes of this mare and saw a scared foal, deep inside, who didn't understand these strangers in the land.

Races in the Wodes

The only answer is, the Wodes allow for all races, be they horse-based or familiars, big or small. They are a community, and act as such in their swampy home. They recognize, too, that unions can come from anywhere, as the stars have clearly spoken before.

Clans of the Wodes

The Wodes herd is made up of multiple clans. Some are big, some are small, some are led by a mare, some by a stallion, all have at least one member full of magic. From unicorns to Angeni, even charmed Walkers both Pure and Cursed - Though the Walkers might be more prone to a LOOSE clan structure than a tight one like most of the others.

Some of the clans might be more heavily influenced by one breed or another, such as more heavily unicorns, or more heavily Ulun-suti. Each also specializes in doing something, with some overlapping - After all, the more clans specializing in one thing, the better chances of it evolving.

The only Soquili not found in any clan of the Wodes are uncharmed Walkers, Pure and Cursed, due to the nature of what they are. There may be some sort of uneasy alliance, but uncharmed Walkers aren't permanentaly in the area.

Current known Clans of the Wodes

Clan Sinclair - Headed by Saoirse "Peach" Sinclair
Clan Potter - Headed by Hari Potter

Wode-Adjacent

There are those who live in the swamp, but don't wish to formally be members of the herd. This is okay! At least, it's okay so long as an individual behaves and doesn't outright attack the herd. If they make it clear, members of the herd are expected to leave individuals who wish to live alone alone, so if there's a swamp hermit, foals are told to let the hermit be.

Known Wode-adjacent individuals

The Sirens - Part of a larger group of kelpie-suti mixes, they're the most friendly with the Wode herd so far of the greater herd, but show no inclination to join the herd. They all have a penchant for singing, hence Uriel's nickname for them
