Small specks of white appeared from the shadows of the ravine, growing to reveal the blazed nose and stockinged legs of a dark bay stallion. His legs skimmed the ground effortlessly in a ground-covering trot. It was late afternoon, and the sun was racing away over the western horizon, leaving long shadows that hid the stallion's countenance from others. He didn't want anyone to descry him yet. He'd rely on a surprise attack to bring down any enemies. But to his pleasure, there seemed to be none.
It was time to reveal himself to all in this kingdom. It was time for him to take the throne for which he was created, the rank for which he had been put on the ship and brought to these distant lands. It was his time, finally, to ascend as the rightful king of the Darks. Oh, how he had been awaiting this day! He rounded a corner and emerged in a small opening where the sun still shone. Marching loftily into the spotlight, the stallion opened his mouth and trumpeted a claim. This land was his now.
Name: Caliginosity Canyon
Description: While small openings in this land are bathed in light, most of the ravine is hidden in eternal darkness except for a few hours in the noontime. Tough, scrubby grasses can exist in the shadowed areas, while lightened areas support grass that will quickly surge to the height of a horse. A swift and dangerous brook winds along one edge of the canyon. The tall, rocky walls house several protective caves, if you don't mind sharing your shelter with a few thousand bats. The towering walls also provide protection against enemies, with only two main entrances and many small, concealed paths.
