Welcome to Gaia! ::

Originally starting through the shared affections of Cuauhcoatl, an Angeni of the South Americas, and Ikinya, an Usdia from Africa.

With a love that many would not understand, the two decided they would welcome all who were 'Good people' that were outside of the norm of regular society. May all who enter be blessed, and all with good in their hearts are welcome.

At first, life seemed to be... Serene. Cuauhcoatl had found the love of his life, an Usida named Ikinya, and was helping a single father care for his children as he sought for one lost in the woods, and had returned with not only her, but their mother as well. They had an adoptive Usida son growing into a fine young man, and a young women he had met while she was still but a foal, came for family and sanctuary shortly after they rescued another young stallion from possible death.

And they had a dear friend, who had agreed to acting as a surrogate mother since he and his beloved could not bear children together... And had just given birth to three children, placed lovingly by their biological mother into the enchanted baskets that would keep them safe and fed as they to the state of development lesser 'horses' were born directly into, and their Usida mother waded into the middle of the three baskets, happily thanking their friend for the gift she had given them.

However, that was when things began to change.

While their biological mother was a good mare, and only had the best of intentions, she stole away in the night during a thunderstorm with one of the baskets, hiding it away so she could return for the others, fearing her children were to be reared believing the smaller soquili was their true mother, that the stallion she had hoped would realize it was madness to be with an Usida and would instead love her and be just friends with the other one rather then the other way around, truly was in love with Ikinya.

However, as she came for the other two, the father stood strong and protective of the other ones, pleading to know where the other was, and why she was doing this -- she wouldn't be left out of the family, she could still be with her children, they would know she was their biological mother, just as Ikinya was their adoptive mother. Kayla could be a part of their life, but they were just as much theirs as they were hers, so she could not take them away from them.


Upset, confused, and unsure of herself, knowing she wouldn't be able to get past the large angeni to 'rescue' any more of her own children, she lashed out verbally, spilling her feelings out -- That Cuauhcoatl was sick for wanting to raise her children with, not only an usida for a mother and brother, but around meat eaters such as the quarter kalona kaliska and the mutant Kalona mix of Darius "Chompy". That something was wrong, and that she'd die trying to keep the one child she had managed to save safe from his madness.

And then she fled into the darkness of the stormy night, where the stallion was grounded and would be unable to bring light to follow.

--------

The aftermath shook the small, unnamed herd to the very root. They knew Kayla was a good mare, and a kind caring soul -- with everything combined about what their group was finally broke her resolve, it was more then possible that they were not a group allowed by regular society. And to make matters worse, Mecho returned without his son from a trading trip -- Harpy's had taken Cabriole as a pet. And they were not large enough in number to rescue him.

Feeling powerless, Cuauhcoatl stayed with the remaining two baskets, he shifted into his human form and began to carve a totem, putting his heart and soul into into it, and put some of his angeni light into it as a blessing that would hopefully steer evil away.

Exiting his longhouse, he planted the tall totem into the ground, and declared their herd to be Yectenehua, which in the Nahuatl language he felt most at home with, meant "to bless".

He then shifted back to his horse form to pray that all of those who moved as members of yectenehua would remained blessed even outside the gaze of their totem, and for those who were good could find a sanctuary to call home.

With this blessing, The first Sanctuary of Yectenehua was born.

None yet.

Q: WTF? An Usdia and an regular template Soquili?! You do Realize they can't breed, right?

A: We are quite aware that the mated pair that created the herd, as well as any others that follow suit with similarly unbreedable pairings such as homosexual or cross 'species' breedings, aren't actually able to mate -- breedings would be handled adoption and Surrogates if at all, by the choice of the owners -- but are rather pairings developed through RP and heavy plotting. We encourage cross template Roleplay at Yectenehua, since many people who RP Usdia, mers, and Seathi, have given them stunning personalities and are unfortunately find it difficult to find RP for their unusual species.

Not all Roleplay has to eventually lead to the possibility of baskets, and even if you can't RP an Usdia yourself, you're not the one who's controlling them. Due to the set up of the (semi-non-canon) area the herd is settled upon, it is easier for Mers and Seathi to interact with land Soquili of the non Kelpi sort.



Q: omg u hav purdy ponies, can i have one?/ lol

A: Beggers aren't welcome anywhere on Soquili, much less in locations such as herds. Please locate yourself to the main thread, or to newbie introductions catagory. Do not post in other people's threads, it is rude.
