OOC: Annoucements This is where every announcement, except the "Times of Himaryn" annoucements. Basically, chech here other for Activity Checks, Contests, and more. Moderator: ‡[V]ES.rian
Of Lore and Language The "language" of the characters, and each sperate...uh..."plot" that each of the species follow. Best to familiarize yourself with these too ^^
Palmali (5 sub-boards) The Northern Region boasts the best array of shifting land masses. A few have stated that the apparent creator of Himaryn resides in these lands also. Rumors only, however. Palmali is no holy ground in terms of appearance. Moutains crown the parameters of the territory, making navigation an epic quest of its own. Apart from the daunting stature of the Palmali Mountains, Ground level navigation is tampered as well...due to heavy forestration. These lands are Royal grounds, taken forth by the rulers of the North. It's expected to have a strong will and constant Flight or Fight demeanour at had. It's the only way to survive.
Senra Plains (7 sub-boards) Senra was, before hand, a flowing river of great magnitude. Due to the shifiting of land, however, it's potency has been greatly diminished, moreso becoming a vast, flat plain. In stark contrast to the heavy forests of Palmali, Senra is rather gentle in terms of visual appeal, along with being far more confortable and laid back in terms of living conditions. A rather large stream still runs through the center of the region, the only remaining fraction of the great Senra River.
Goddess Falls (5 sub-boards) The area of Goddess Falls is blessed with the glourious stock of Water which falls from a mysterious opening in the upper halves of the remanent of Kayana Mountains. The land rifts have caused the water out put to intensify, though the new out put of water has caused the land itself to become all the more glourious, due to a permanent hazy mist emmited from the base of the falls. This mist, however, over takes the entire region, so the land has taken on a cloaked appeal. Apart from all this, the forestation in this area is thick as well, refugees, slaves, and spirits usually make their abode here, in order to flee from their captors.
Carpathian Mountains (6 sub-boards) A place of rocky outcrops, cliffs, and general mountainous terrain. Sturdy pines and old yews find their footing here, along with a sparse covering of strong grasses and bushes. Within the cover of the foliage and the stone, many small animals abound, making for good hunting for the smaller predator or the learning hunter. But watch your footing, loose rock and an unpredictable cave system can leave you injured in a cave without a way out.
Crystal Falls (5 sub-boards) The sound of the waterfall can be heard for miles around, but it’s actually hard to locate this hidden cascade. The water falls from a crevice in a rock cliff, falling down to a small ledge where it splits into four more streams that continue down independently. To reach the source of the water would be folly, but the small, but deep, pool of water at its base is cool and refreshing, drawing many animals from the forest surrounds. Marshier plants live near the water, thriving on the moist air of the falls.
Kypriral (3 sub-boards) From the foot of Crystal Falls extends a sanded area which resembles a Beach-like area. This area is far from normal, however, being permanently encloaked in darkened shades of violets, blues, and blacks. The Kypririal region, unlike the rest of the southern area, is quite outcasted. From the eyes of a winged creature, one could describe this one division as secluded on its own...by an omnious cloak of violet. As depressing as its lands may be, it has a deathly serenity to it as well...like the falls in the Northen hemisphere, it seems and ideal place for slaves, refugees, and spirits to wander without fear.
Palisade's Sheath (5 sub-boards) The name quite contradicts the way this section of the Southern region is laid out. Both a palisade and sheath describe a covering of some sort, but apart from the grand stalks of Palm trees which dot the region, the terra is all open. Golden sands crown the exterior borderlines of the area, pulling out into cascading waves of blue when the end point is reached. Opposite to the waters lies a densely vegatated plain holding a tropical feel to it, diverse in both hunting and living space. The second largest terrain of the Southern hemisphere.
Raven Peaks The South could obviously be tagged for being most diverse in terms of land seperation and so forth. Raven peaks pulls away from the stereotypical description of Tropical, though holds its position in the South merely due to its weather. Much like a past area in Himaryn's history, Raven peaks is continously drenched in a cloak of Rain...never seeing signs of Snow in the winter, or droughts during a severe summer. Raven Peaks is well known for its omnious ebony-sheaned Peaks...having a glossy appeal to them as if they were crafted from glass. The rest of the terra seperates into flatlands...patches of Sandy areas scattered here and there.
Kosov (4 sub-boards) The past name of a past Kingdom still remains, for regardless the land masses shifting...it still stands firm with its proud appearance. The West could easily crown itself for being far deadlier than both the East and North, mainly due to the permanent cloak of Snow it wears. Like the North, Kosov is set apart as the Empire lands due to the mountains which crown its border, chiselled through with what seems like grand blocks of Crystalline white Ice, being pure and majestic in feel. However, new comers and the faint of heart will not be treated kindly here, the lands are for those willing to adapt to a life style around Bloodshed.
Icy Plain This is actually the site of a lake, but most of the year only a pond-sized hole in the center attests to that fact. Though the ice may probably be able to hold weight in the colder months, it is still very treacherous and could crack under a creature’s weight, sending it into the freezing water. In the summer, it is simply impossible to walk across. But because there is little difference between the water and shore, many don’t know the danger until it’s too late.
Delquay (5 sub-boards) A tundra region that lies at the foot of the Kingdom, being constantly cloaked, however, in grains of White Sand. From a distance, the great dunes and crevices of the land look like the purest of Snow, though no snow ever reached these lands...regardless the closeness to the Kingdom. Mind you, however, these lands will feel temperature fluxes, the lack of snow seems to be a blessing in times of Winter. Winged creatures would fare best in the sands of Delquay. Vegetation flourishes in these grounds, though like the surrounding sands, their leaves are permanently cloaked in shades of Silver, White, and Grey.
Brookhaven Bay (5 sub-boards) Perhaps the most misplaced of all landmasses, over to the opposite borderlines of Delquay, and still rather close to the main Kingdom. However, regardless of all this, the lands still hold onto the peculiar flux of a tropic region. Snow and cold never seem to lay a grasp on these humid lands, though masses of fog have been rumoured to dissipate over the land at random times. This fact has earned Brook haven the Nickname of Ghost Bay. A Temple ruin lies at the heart of the land mass, along with a grand covering of Trees, and of course, the Great Bay
Desert Mer' Cray - 1 Viewing (7 sub-boards) At long last, to the Eastern hemisphere of the Isle lies the water deprived land of Sands. Mer' Crey boasts, by far, the most arid of regions upon the entire Isle. Sands of a soft golden apparel cloak the face of the terrain. Unlike its counterpart land masses, Mer' Cray lacks both sources of much vegetation and water, though as stereotypical as it may be, the central region of the dessert is quite well flourished. Mind you now, reaching the central region is no easy feat...those who can take to the skies are best fitted here.
Naicor (4 sub-boards) Once in the past times of Himaryn this area differed from other areas on the isle. The environment was rocky and sandy, like a steppe with minimal vegetation. The land rifts, however, have brought these barren grounds into the Eastern region...and the lands are now more at home amoung the others.
Heat is not so much of a problem, being rather comfortable all year round, due to its closer vincity to the Southern and Western Hemispheres, and therefore having a contant stream of cool air running through it. However, the obscure structures of Rock and Sand make foot work quite a feet. The lands also unearthed what seems to a be a Temple Ruin. Rumors, however, have kept many away from that one region.
Bysae (9 sub-boards) Bysae, the inactive Volcano of the past has found itself rifted into the border lands of the Great Dessert. However, like most Volcanic lands, the foot of this grand volcano sets forth a well vegetated area. The temperature fluxes, and the near by dessert give the area a bit of a Savannah feel to it, however.
Farther into it's history, apart from being an Inactive Volcano, it is said to be a sacrificial peak. It's also feared due to the fact that it gives off a humid glow every so often, as if it is to go active once more...Though its known it never will again. They say if one reaches the top, Bysae will be reawaken once more...though the task is by far much more easier said than done. The frequent storms make it near impossible to go more than Half-way. The Darker one of Personality seem to appeal to this area most...The Land is also nicknamed the Land of Assassins.
Red Mountain Dens Here is a rockier area of the desert, where large rock formations stick up out of the sand. Within these formations can be found caves, most small and rough, but with a few that are perhaps large enough for a tiger couple. There is also a plateau that could be reached on the largest of these outcroppings, its surface similar to that of a stage, with one of the medium caverns behind it.
The caverns tell lies from their outward appearance, however, plainly due to the fact that within their central region lies the sacred Temple region. Ruins, of course, for the land shifts have unearthed such things...however...reaching to the ruins isn't all that...difficult. Still, best shy away and stay near the Dens.
Malontra Canyon Though the central region is mostly dominated by birds, there is no real claiming of territory, except the peaks. This canyon, therefore, has been taken hold of the "greater" species as the battle grounds. Though fights break out anywhere, these lands are undisturbed.
Somal Plains Located at the foot of the Peaks, and between the Canyon, lies a series of flat lands pleasantly named the Somal Plains. Unlike the rest of the Isle, these lands are meant to remark peace in...hence the closeness to the Battle Grounds. A merging area, if you may...the weather here much like the Southern Region of the Isle. These lands are Unclaimable, and all can trod here without...much fear.
Pramortai Peaks At long last, The creatures renounced as Familiars have laid claim to their own land as well…Similar to past times, a grand peak accessible to only the “Familiars”. The Peaks over look the entire Isle, being a single collection of closely fitted formations ranging from shades of Silver to Indigo. Like the Raven Peaks, the formations of these lands seem to be chiselled from Glass. The apparent “Masters” of the birds are not permitted to lay foot on these grounds.
Unlike the Wolves, Felines, or Foxes, the Birds are communal...they see no need in following Leaders, henceforth, their lands are free from Kings, Queens, or Nobles.

Phenca Silcalla Though the Peaks crown the border lands of this minor landmass, the birds allow for the “Higher Species” of the Isle to lay foot here. As if on queue, the lands are rather flat landed, and easily manoeuvrable for those who are not accustomed to the skies. Birds and the Higher Species come here to meet, Birds wanting to lay claim to a master or mistress wander to these calmer lands.
Search/Plots (1 sub-board) As obvious as the name may be, here is where mini plots, or Internal Site plots can be found and made by the members. Included inside is also the Search section, where a specified role can be found also.
-No Advertising in the Cbox. APPARENTLY this isn't clear enough so I'll define. No Linking to other forums in the C-Box EVER. PERIOD. This means in the text of the post or in your name. We have a subforum dedicated for advertisement, so do it there instead. Sheesh!
Please follow the following rules. For a while, I thought we could go without them. But I guess that's not possible >< And not because of Himaryn's Own members. Because of other members, of other sites. Sad, is it not?
-Be nice. Don't call others "scary"...That sort of stuff...
