Herd Amorosa

Herd Amorosa (“loving”) prides itself on spreading love and taking in outcasts. They strive to elevate the misunderstood and shower them with love. All horses are able to join the herd and, upon their arrival, are given a flower from the Amorosa Bush. Aphrodite, the patron and founder, created the herd in response to the disappearance of various other groups. She hoped, by creating an overflowing abundance of love, she would be able to bring back the lost herds.

This Herd lives on the island next to Naastrand Sound, called Caritas Cay. The palace is located near the inlet to the east of the island and features a flower garden, a tower, the main hall, and the grand library. The most important part of the castle is located at the back of the garden on an elevated piece of land. Here, the Amorosa Bush grows, surrounded by a small moat. The most magnificent flowers bloom in this area and butterflies are never far away. Aphrodite is also often seen here, guarding the flower and nurturing the blooms.

The Amorosa Bush
The Amorosa Bush bears light pink to white flowers with heart-shaped leaves. Once given to a new member, the flower becomes one with the recipient, usually in the mane or tail. The members of the royal family add their flowers to their forelock. Their flowers also turn a bright red and fade once their rule is over.

Royal Family
Amor and Venus are the current rulers of the herd and are joined by their three foals Cherub, Celesta, and Pirouette. The king and queen spend most of their time in the main hall, taking in new arrivals and corresponding with other herds. The younger twins, Cherub and Celesta, are often seen galloping on the beach or playing with the local wildlife. Pirouette, the oldest and next in line for the throne, helps Aphrodite with the flowers. If the patron is not in the garden, Pirouette can be found studying in the library. One of her closest friends is Lily, the herds' jester. Countess Dreamer is also close to the eldest princess, first as a foal sitter and later as a teacher.
