Shadow Herd

Description
Shadow Herd is a small, fiercely protective band of pegasi. They live in central Anok, feeding on the sparse grasses and dry foliage of the eastern plains. Many of them are lined with scars - from starvation, battles, brushes with the dreaded dire wolves.

Even so, Shadow Herd pegasi look out for one another. They are thought to be the distant descendants of Lake Herd - a shadow of that herd, as it were. They have never had a black foal born to them, and they view the Hundred Year Star as a bad omen for drought and famine.

Shadow Herd loves the skies and storms. A dangerous sport among the younger pegasi is "thunder-catching," which involves flying into the midst of a storm cloud and staying there as long as you can. It is rare for a pegasus to be hit by lightning, but it does happen on occasion - some even go partly deaf from the sound of the thunder.

Founding Member
The founder of Shadow Herd is thought to be a stallion named Darkfrost, who eventually became Darkwing, leader of the herd. He has several descendants in the modern day herd, including Rowancloud, Thornwind and Aspentail.
