Posted 2024-11-09 13:45:18 (edited) #1326895 CS: link RP: link OOC: link Herd Character: The Herd of Tranquil Waters is a beacon of serenity and harmony. They move with the gentle ebb and flow of the water, embracing a philosophy that mirrors the fluidity and adaptability of their environment. They are deeply spiritual, often drawing wisdom from the stillness of lakes and the rhythmic motion of rivers. Elders are revered for their knowledge of ancient traditions, and their words are considered law. The herd values community, family, and the interconnectedness of all beings, often engaging in rituals that celebrate these bonds. Food: The diet of the Herd of Tranquil Waters is diverse, reflecting the bounty of both land and water. They primarily consume: Aquatic Vegetation: Lotus, water lilies, and pondweed, which are rich in nutrients and easily accessible in their watery habitat. Algae: A staple for its high nutritional value, often found in the shallows. Watercress: Foraged from the edges of streams and rivers, providing a peppery crunch. Berries and Fruits: Wild berries and fruits from trees along the water's edge, especially fond of the juicy red fruits of the chokecherry tree. Occasional Nuts and Seeds: Collected from the forest floor, adding variety to their diet. Herbs: Essential for their health and rituals, the herd utilizes several key herbs: Water Mint: Known for its digestive benefits and refreshing scent. Reedmace: Used to treat wounds and infections with its natural antiseptic properties. Lotus Roots: Revered for their calming effect and often used in spiritual ceremonies. Algae Extract: Infused in potions to boost strength and resilience. Sage: Burned in rituals to cleanse and protect, bringing clarity and connection to their spiritual practices. Appearance: The deer of this herd are a sight to behold with their sleek, streamlined bodies and a unique bluish-grey tint to their fur, which provides excellent camouflage in their watery surroundings. Their large, expressive eyes have a slight bluish hue, and their antlers are slender, resembling intricate coral formations. These antlers are not only a symbol of maturity and status but also serve as formidable tools for defense. They have webbed hooves, aiding in their adeptness at swimming. Territory: The Herd of Tranquil Waters claims a vast and diverse territory centered around an extensive network of rivers, lakes, and wetlands. This environment offers an abundance of resources and a natural fortress against predators. Key features of their territory include: Luminous Lagoon: This bioluminescent lagoon glows with an ethereal light at night, creating a mystical gathering spot for celebrations and rituals. Crystal Rapids: A series of cascading waterfalls that provide both a source of fresh water and a natural meeting place for the herd. The sound of the rapids is considered soothing and sacred. Seer's Cove: A secluded bay known for its tranquil waters and reflective surface, making it the perfect place for meditation and spiritual seeking. Willow Bend: A grove of ancient willows where the herd rests and raises their young, providing shade and protection with its drooping branches. Eelgrass Meadows: Shallow areas covered in eelgrass, ideal for foraging and feeding, and a favorite spot for playful fawns. Landmarks: Luminous Lagoon: The glowing waters of this lagoon are a natural wonder, providing a magical setting for important herd gatherings and rituals. The bioluminescence is believed to be the spirits of their ancestors watching over them. Crystal Rapids: These sparkling waterfalls are both a natural source of water and a sacred place for important discussions and ceremonies. The constant, soothing sound of the flowing water is considered the heartbeat of the herd. Seer's Cove: A quiet, secluded bay where the most respected elders go to meditate and seek visions from the depths. The reflections on the still waters are said to reveal glimpses of the future and the past. Eelgrass Meadows: These shallow meadows are rich in eelgrass, providing ample food for the herd. The area is also a playground for the young fawns, who enjoy frolicking in the shallow waters.

"Wolves…? My, I didn't think wolves came to these parts of the wetlands." She cocked her head. "Hopefully the Stomping patrol will be able to flush them out. We are lucky to have as many deer as we do."
