High Warden Danania's Mahogany Bay Horse

With the spring festival and new Wildemore area and update 10 and 11 reviews, this article got put on hold since May 3rd, but I wanted to show off my new pretty horse, The Mahogany Bay Horse! This horse is the reward for achieving Rank 9, High Warden, in the Ettenmoors. I often joked that this horse is a big reason why I go to the Moors.

This is a picture of my Moors tally sheet as it flipped to Rank 9. I feel like I had more deaths than that. The Rating number is mostly irrelevant. It is an indicator of how long since your last defeat (mine ranges from 650 – 1950, and tends to be around 1100 – 1300). As always, I am thankful to my friends and fellow adventurers (Dana's-Ettenmoors-Scrapbook) and to the Creeps who come out to enjoy a pleasant evening of fun! See playful Creeps @ Ettenmoors-75-rk-armor-audacity and Fall-festivals-end-new-beginning.

Here is an early shot of when I was level 75 and Rank 6. That is some fancy purple Moors armor and Steed of the Runekeeper. I believe that I was inside TA (Tol Ascarnen), circa. February, 2012.

Many of my Moors pictures prior to this one looked pretty stupid. In the Moors, you have to wear your active armor, no cosmetics. However, I didn’t realize that I did not have to show ALL of the armor. So, many of the prior ones I had odd looking mismatched, hooded cloak, etc. Then, I guess my mismatch got so bad someone pointed out that I could uncheck the “show armor” boxes so I didn’t have to parade around in my black hat, with purple robe, white boots, and red cloak. Oy. Of course, one might note that I *could* have dyed items so they didn’t clash as badly. Live and learn.

Ok, here is one of the first ones… level 65… hooded cloak… you can’t see my face, but that is me under there. My first visit to the Moors was June-2011.

I like this picture. This is a shot of a Wintersebb Drake; they can be tough as nails and are generally not soloable.

I am back to having fun at Spring festival, then to Wildemore to see how the adventure with an Ice Giant turns out. Someday, I will make it back to the Moors. After all there is another horse to acquire! (See Tharros on “The Free People’s Horse” at All-the-Steeds/ meta-deed-steeds.)

Rohan: Scenes from Rohan, interlude

Does calling the title an “interlude” seem more interesting than calling it “random pictures I really liked that are discontinuous from rohan-scenes-from-rohan-part-3 such that I didn’t really see it as a part 4”? The interlude term would also indicate that I haven’t finished the series. Well, I haven’t even mentioned Hytbold yet, and have lots of random horse pictures, so it kind of works!

This warg follows me around. I’m not sure what to think about that. But my advice, do not feed the wargs. You might just end up with him as a pet.

This Mysterious old man follows me around also. My advice, do not feed him either, you might end up with him as a pet.

This dragon was singing me a song. He was just getting to the good part, but I think he was out of his upper range.

I took a swim near the East Wall. Yeah, I don’t fly and ride horses ALL the time. If you get out far enough into the lake, you can no longer smell the orc filth.

I flew up to light the Beacon at Eaworth. Someone has to do it, right? Surely we weren’t supposed to use all those tiny steps and beams and hop up… that would have been silly.

I also flew over to an orc camp and rained on the picnic of some orc skirmishers. By the time you realize I am levitating above you dear orc, your will be defeated!

Moria has goats, but Rohan has more realistic goats. I adopted a flock of little horned goats. Mebbe my hobbits can ride them.

Here is a shot of me and my Cliving homeys (from rohan-scenes-from-rohan-part-2). We are stirring up a ruckus in Sutcroft I believe.

I will pick up next time with some of my horse pictures that weren’t included in the Warsteed Traiting Guide (rohan-warsteed-traiting-part-5), the Warsteed Cosmetic looks (rohan-warsteed-cosmetic-looks,) or the many posts on steeds and warsteeds that ended up in the Gallery (All the Steeds). See you soon!
