Herd Islandar

Order: HOUSE ISLANDAR of EQUINESIA Motto: “Open hearts, open hands.” Patron: Jewel

House Islandar, the royal house of Equinesia, was founded to honor Jewel for her generosity and kindness. Like Jewel, the horses of House Islandar take pleasure in sharing the riches of their realm with others. But they believe it is even more important to share their kind words, warm feelings, and cheerful help with everyone around them. Horses who give freely and show outstanding kindness may be granted the Order of Jewel and invited to join the nobility of House Islandar.

Realm: Equinesia

Equinesia lies just beyond the Equinesian Islands, beneath the tropical waters of the Celestial Deep at the far eastern edge of North of North. Colorful fish and other ocean creatures play hide-and-seek among the anemones and seaweed. Water horses graze on a lush, undersea grass called sweetwater, which covers the sandy seabed like a green lawn. Buildings grown from living coral cluster in reefs decorated with bright shells. The most magnificent of these is Islandar Castle, a great palace with towering pinnacles lit by glowing sea jewels.

Castle: Islandar Castle

Islandar castle is a magical jewel at the bottom of the sea. The castle appears to grow organically from the reef that it sits upon; structures and towers are formed in the shape of sea shells with intricate coral patterned walls and ceilings. This aquatic paradise is alive with a phosphorescent glow that shows off the vibrant pinks, oranges, blues, and reds of the various structures. A vibrant coral reef teeming with life surrounds the castle grounds. Seahorses and other ocean life can be seen amongst the castle walls with the sun producing shafts of golden light from the world above.
