Kinabar Lakefront

A wide expanse of lush sweet meadow grass, kissed with vibrant wildflowers during the warmer months, nestles between a small forest of poplar and maple trees and an enormous man-made lake. White sand decorates the lake's shore, stretching well up the beach. Water fowl frequent the area, as do peaceful grazers such as deer and the occasional flock of sheep. With this healthy, peaceful land so rich in resources, there is enough to sustain a sizable herd and then some. When snow falls and ice blankets the lapping shore, a determined equine will need to scrape away the snow to get to the frozen grasses under. During the worst cold snaps, however, the tender meadow loses most of it's nutrition and forces the beasts who roam here to rip the prickly needles off the few scattered pine and spruce trees in the surrounding forest. In the heart of the meadow, there is a hill that is surrounded by thick gorse and brambles where new mothers can take shelter with their foals. The nursery area is defensible enough to keep the weaker members of the herd safe from attack. This meadow, and the lake and forest tying it together in a neat little package, is jealously guarded by a mare who calls herself Queen.
