with a name like vespuccia, it sounds exotic. it isn't, not essentially. but those who know about the island and live there call it something else - elysium. an equine haven, it is a place where horses live with no human contact - indeed they don't know what one is. two-legs have never stepped foot on the shore of the small island.

the native breed, the vespuccian, has evolved, in effect simply a hybrid of every single horse breed. the coloration cannot be explained - it is simply obviously a genetic mutation of some sort that up til now has caused no terrible side effects.

the island has everything - soft sandy beaches, fresh springs, cool waterfalls, forests, mountains. it's as if perfection turned into an island, a habitat for horses.

of course nothing is essentially perfect. there are two alliances on the island - dark or light. every equine must choose a side. generally they follow the alliance of their parents, but each horse has it's own free will, it's own mind. horses can change alliance, but it is most unheard of. they are born with certain personality traits... undeniable traits..

the lights are pure of heart, sweet and honest. good-natured, they're helpful and genuine. they are very loving, protective of those around them, and never commit any indiscretions. the darks, on the other hand, have black hearts. they are happy to inflict pain upon any equid, sometimes even themselves. fighting, rape and murder are nothing to them, aswell as claiming mares by force and making them live in a herd against their will. both sides have their ups and downs, but they share one common purpose - without them, no equid would belong..
