Our new site, Belligerence, is officially open! :D Click the image above to get there. The RLTW Cbox as well as the whole site will be left open for the next week or so to make sure that everyone has gotten their character info and unfinished IC threads moved over to Bell. If you guys have any questions as to what to do, there is an announcement thread specifically for old members on Belligerence which will tell you everything you need to know! Otherwise, feel free to PM me once you've joined Bell if you have any other questions. I'll see you all there! :P

Hey RLTW! There are a LOT of things going on around the site right now, so keep a eye out! Firstly we have our Activity Check, which is running until December 27th. If you're planning to be gone around Christmas time or anything, you should post to the check BEFORE you go so you don't forget and miss it! Next we have our OTM voting going on, so please take a few minutes to click through the polls and cast your votes on our Contests & Games board. Our Order and Chaos Entities have been chosen, and you can meet them with your characters in their lands of Aurora Caverns and Erebus Peak! The Aether Council auditions are now closed, and the staff are currently deliberating. We'll announce the winners at some point over the next week! The Aether will be inhabiting the mysterious land of Zulus, and soon the Council will be allowing new members into their ranks. Thank you all so much for your continued activity and interest in the site, and happy RPing! <3

THE SKIN HAS CHANGED again so please go to your profiles and select "PAINT IT BLACK AND TAKE IT BACK" which was inspired by the song Welcome To The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. The characters featured here are very close to the hearts of many old RLTW members: Revelations' Devil's Assassin on the left, Flighty's Lashiel on the right, and in the middle is Flighty's Basilisk, a stallion whose blood runs through many RLTW characters and a stallion who played a large part in building RLTW's history.

THE SKIN HAS CHANGED! Please head over to your profiles and change the skin to "THE SUN WILL RISE WITH MY NAME ON YOUR LIPS" which was inspired by "The Driver" by Bastille. This month we're featuring Amity's mare Tanis, who is a free-spirited and very small mare who highly values her time alone in nature. Most everyone did really great on the scavenger hunt, and all of your prizes have been added to the Member Prize List! Keep an eye out for some exciting new things that are going to be happening around the site! The staff have planned for some BIG changes to take place over the next couple of months, so make sure you're reading all of the announcements and various PMs that we'll be sending out! Also, I've been noticing a lot of people who still don't have characters in the directory, so please make sure you're putting all of your characters in there. As always, let me know if there are any issues with the skin, and happy RPing! :)

Happy almost Halloween, RLTWians! The site is getting decked-out for the holiday, featuring Kimimaro in his Halloween garb: a dark, flowing cape, carrying a lit jack-'o-lantern on his back. How it stays on there without rolling off? Who knows. Kimi magic. There are lots of awesome things going on over the next week, including OTM voting (which can be found HERE) as well as the annual Halloween Scavenger Hunt! There are some really awesome and valuable prizes being given out this year, so everyone should at least try to solve some of the cryptic, RLTW-themed riddles. Feel free to customize your RLTW Halloween experience how you see fit! Time to get spooky up in here. :P

The skin is finally done! It features Twiztid's awesome stallion Kimimaro, looking all badass up there on a waterfall cliff thing. Don't forget to post in the newly-created Activity Check, and as always, let me know if there's anything buggy with the skin so I can try to fix it. PLEASE REMEMBER TO AGE UP YOUR CHARACTERS THIS MONTH! Staff will be doing a check of everyone's Storybooks as soon as we've closed the Activity Check to make sure that everyone's stuff is up to date. Happy RPing!

Happy winter, RLTW! Stat aka Nova's character Noivern is featured this month, with her pretty purple hair and jewelry and double-tailed awesomeness. As some of you may have noticed, Altus's leadership has shifted from The Harbingers to Cadomir, played by Sid. There should be a meeting of some sort coming up soon for Altus, so be prepared to at least do a small name-only activity check with all of your Altus characters. Activity has been low for the past month or so, but the staff are planning some fun things, and if activity gets up within the next few weeks, we'll have another round of OTMs (so we can finally fill those in haaa)! I highly encourage everyone to try to jump into open threads, if only for your character to meet another one and have a brief conversation. Sometimes small meetings can turn into big plots! If you guys have any ideas regarding contests you might want to see on RLTW (or really any activity in general) please reply to THIS THREAD. As always, please let me know if anything is weird with the skin or if something isn't working properly and I'll do my best to fix it. Happy RPing! :DConditions
The temperatures drop quickly as autumn arrives in the lands of RLTW. Predators are already on the move, hunting in preparation for what is sure to be a harsh winter. The colors that adorn the trees of the lands are particularly beautiful this season, reds and oranges looking vibrant and welcoming. Heavy rains are to come mid-season, followed by a few stray snow showers closer to the end. Temperatures will be brisk but tolerable in most lands, but newborn foals could be susceptible to some ill effects due to the weather.

Destruction's Reach
This collection of lands to the far west stretches over a vast expanse of territory, early a third of all of RLTW. The wicked forests of Destruction’s Reach are something that not many RLTWians are aware exists. It is hidden deep in the crags of steep valleys behind the Mountains of Malice, a place where not many equine elect to tread. Tall trees clamber up to the heavens, twisted and sinisterly bare of any flora. Bare and bony branches extend like the clawed and gnarled hands of a witch, ready to rake over the flesh of any creature foolish enough to walk too close. The soil is blackened and peaty, clinging to the hooves or limbs of whatever passes through here. There are few trails, many of them little more than impressions from deer passing through the forest over many years. The bare quality of the trees gives the place an abandoned feeling that even the darkest and cruelest of hearts feel whenever they come near this place. This place holds an ancientness, but also a wickedness that haunts all who enter.
Far to the south, Destruction's Reach winds past the fighting grounds of Tiff Cliff before it fades into massive sand dunes and gnarled rock structures. The stretch of desert is one of the largest lands in all of Run Like the Wind, miles long and equally wide. The sand is mixed patches of different hues: brilliant ivory and sinister gold. Animals have attempted to cross the dunes and fallen down into their abyss, drowning in the sand. Bones can be seen jutting out of the sands. At times, entire skeletons are found as the winds blow them into view to warn trespassers. Indeed, the winds are often the worst thing here. It howls and screams, sweeping in low rolls over the land and causes massive storms to arise over the desert. There are few plants, and even less water. Most impressive, perhaps, are the rock formations that erupt from the sandbanks; wind and time have twisted them into beautiful and frightening structures, jagged and brutal. Due to the lack of water and vegetation here, few are ever seen and thus, its known as Solitary Desert – and for very good reasons.
Back in the far-western corner of Destruction's Reach lies a desolate and blackened stretch of shoreline known as Atrocious Beach. Long ago there lay a stunning expanse of ivory sands and brilliant beryl waters. However, all of this was ruined when a massive hurricane blew into the small bay where the beach sits. The crystalline sands were turned to a dark and filthy mockery of what they had been before, while the immaculate water darkened into a stained-ebony hue. The hurricane brought up poisonous red algae that all but destroyed the natural sea-life that the bay held. Carcasses line the blood-splattered sand and stone, decaying and filling the atmosphere with the reeking stench of decomposition. The once sapphire hued waters of the sea have turned into a vile shade of carmine, stained due to the algae that lingers and the constant blood that wells from the fights that go on beneath the surface. High tide is the most dangerous time to be on Atrocious Beach, as it is known; not all things that live in the water stay in it.
