The human race always thought it would last forever, but it only brought along its own destruction. It's been a couple thousand years of pollution, city expansion and destruction, and they've finally killed themselves off. However, the mess they left behind is extensive, spreading over every single foot of land, and many species have gone extinct. Even horses are endangered, and somehow every single one of them is gathering together on a small island known to the humans as Cumberland Island, just off the coast of Georgia. Some are still coming, some are already there.
Comprising of partially or fully dead forests, littered and polluted sand, and salthingyer marshes, the place that they know as Adica Island has become home to the surviving equines. The conditions are harsh, but they are better than anywhere else. Then, one day, the island between the solid mainland and Adica Island was blessed by a single, drifting feather of pure white. No one knows where it came from, but most of Stafford Island was reborn, so to speak. It is now filled with lush grass, and a multitude of trees for shelter, among otehr things. It's the stopping point for all newcomers, and many who wish to get away from the terrible grounds they have to live on. The sand bridge that was raised with the touch of the feather makes it even easier to get onto the larger island, the closest thing to a safe haven that these survivors have.
It wasn't long until each and every herd leader began to realize what would happen if they could take over Stafford Island, or even get a feather for their own lands. Unsure how to accomplish the latter, they began aiming for the first option. It was already difficult to live, and full of fights over better terrain, but with the current incentive, the fight has reached a peak. Not only is it herd against herd, but horse against horse. In this new, decaying world, have the horses any hope of survival?

Feather is a future-day wild horse roleplaying game which has no 'light versus dark' theme, but rather every herd for itself. It focuses mainly on realism, but there is a slight bit of fantasy to it as well. No longer is there simply the creation of new herd lands if they are all taken. No, on Adica Island, it takes in character events to make this happen. There are new regions to be named, herd lands to be blessed, and a possible war on the horizon. Anything could happen to anyone, and the only thing that may bring peace is the blessings of the heavens and the mystical feathers which bring such wonderful transformations. Will the previous Cumberland Island ever return to the natural beauty that the planet earth used to hold centuries back? That depends entirely on what you choose to fight for; The finding of a feather, or the bountiful land that the first one created. The choice is yours.
