They came to these lands from the east. Back in their homeland, different healing practices were common knowledge. They came from a communal herd where all the young were raised together as siblings by the mares of the herd, learning and receiving affection from each of them as they grew. These six, being born around the same time as each other, grew up together as a close knit group of sisters. From a young age they were taught how to distinguish between different herbs as well as how to use them for healing purposes. As they grew they learned different healing techniques which ranged from the use of pressure points to alleviate pain to even the use of crystals and stones.
One day, a mare arrived asking for help for her herd in neighboring lands that had been affected by a great sickness. A matriarch of the herd went with the mare to help her and her herd. At the time the sisters were still learning and not old enough to leave their herd. Some time passed and the other mares of the herd felt the six had reached the end of their training having learned all they had to teach them. They had not seen or heard from the matriarch in quite some time so they sent the six to go help her and practice their craft. The older mares stayed behind to take care of the younger foals and help those that were expecting.
They went in search of the matriarch, but by the time they reached the neighboring lands the sickness was gone and she was no where to be found. They were told she had been asked to help in yet another land struck by tragedy and so they continued on to find and help her. As they traveled they helped those in need, and learned different techniques along the way.
As time went on, they ventured farther west. They heard of a great fire that had swept through the Kawani lands, and they knew that they must go and try to help them. They also wondered if maybe their matriarch had gone to help as well. On their way to the Kawani lands they happened upon a herd of deer who had fled the lands to escape the fire. Many of them were injured and in need of help. After taking some time to help deer recover they continued on their way, now only with a few new friends who had become attached to them in the time they spent together.
After helping in the aftermath of the fire, they were surprised by the fact that so few in these lands had the knowledge of different healing techniques. They decided to stay to help those that sought their help, often pregnant mares came to them to help during pregnancy. They also decided that they should try to spread their knowledge to others in these areas that had an interest in healing.
