Welcome to Divinus Elementum
Divinus Elementum is an elemental equine site with a twist. Here, we have not just the four usual elements, but two of the elements often forgotten, Heart and Spirit. But there are secrets surrounding these unfamiliar equines, and alliances are being made, as the threat of war is breaking out among the lands of Elementum. There are rumors, rumors that some of the elements want to destroy the element Spirit, and all those who follow it, due to the fact that they are more than different... And now a new power has been whispered about, a power that could bring forth the destruction, a prized trinket created by Divum herself. A trinket that some will do everything they can to guard, while others will stop at nothing to possess.
WINTER
year one
Temperature
High: 37 degrees
Low: -5 degrees
Winter is slowly ending in Elementum, and spring is beginning to show through. Grass is beginning to grow, trees are beginning to bud, and the snow is finally melting. Spirit, Water, and Earth are all in their elements, their powers coming easier, while Fire and Air are both lacking in strength at this time. Heart, as always, is in complete control.
Divinus Elementum is brought to you by Dyzz. Graphics made by Dyzz, as well as plot. Credits for image are as follow; horse: roar-shack-stock @ DA, wings: solarka-stock @ DA, background: dracoart-stock @ DA. Codes from proboards support, and similar sites and are credited to their makers. But this site would be nothing with out members. So do not steal any characters or posts you see.

And so you've made it, child, to the land of Divinus Elementum, well Elementum for short. We're glad to welcome you here. But who are we, you may ask? Well, we are the creatures you should best watch out for. We rule over this land with a iron grasp, taking what we need, and giving very little back. We are the gods that blessed the mortals with these gifts. The gifts of the elements. There are six you see. Spirit, Heart, Air, Water, Fire, and Earth. Each one of our children, whether born or arriving, are blessed with one of these gifts, one of these elements. Along with these elements, they have a creature bond to them by soul. A single friend who is closer to blood. Connected by thoughts, by emotions, and by soul, these creatures act as guardians, family, and friends. Able to see through one another's eyes, hear through one another's ears, and help one another through all of their actions. Together the two form a bonder tighter than blood, and tighter than anything that could break them apart. One cannot live with out the other, together they are whole, they are complete. These are our children, our world, our salvation. Now come inside, join our numbers, and be part of the new race of Elements.
Divum and Caedan
You've heard the stories. The tales of
creatures who can control the different elements.
But the thing is, you haven't heard this story, which
is to bad... Because, this story... This one is the real one
And it's the one everyone will be talking about. Trust me, I
know. How... Because I'm the goddess of these lands, and not
a single thing gets past me, ever. This is our story. The story of
the elemental lands of Elementum. But are you ready to face the
facts, and fall into the labyrinth yourself, and face the music. If so...
Be prepared, for all is not well, in these lands. So arm yourself traveler
Because you are treading into unfamiliar waters, and those floaties won't
help you this time.
And then we saw them... The horses. At first Cae was leery of the idea,
but I had to prove to him. They could handle it. At first it was just one or two
horses for each element, but slowly he gave in, my mate, and more gained
elements, first Fire, then Water, then Air, the Earth, then Heart. And Lastly Spirit.
Now every horse born receives one. They have grown closer, these elements, and
we grew proud, like parents, to see our children, our creations mixing so well for once.
But then trouble started to brew. Being different, it has become an almost crime. Spirit
equines have become outcasts, with only water and heart to back them up. Earth, Fire,
and Air have sided to destroy Spirit, and anything that stands between them. But is
war really necessary. Is there a way we can avoid it? No one knows anymore. But this
isn't about the possibility of war. It's almost become certain, the problem know, is
the threat that still continues to remain.
Rumors have been circling throughout the citizens of Divinus Elementum....
rumors of a secret power so devastating, it could wipe the other elements
off the face of the earth...
Will it be the end of life on Divinus Elementum as we know it, or will a hero
arise to counter the threat that wants this object? Or will the citizens
simply stop caring, and go on pretending it doesn't exist while
continuing to shun Spirit and plot their downfall?
Whose side are you on?
And what are you going to do now?

All the sites have them, the secret liar of the staff. Well this is ours. It's super top secret. So don't try to peak! It's were we do all of our plotting, figuring out new twists for the site, and things like that! Hope you guys like what we come up with too! But until them! I'm going back inside to snack on some more cookies.
Shhh, Polls in session. This is where staff can go to participate in some of the polls, like our nominations for OTM, and other similar things. Any member of the staff can post a poll here - but please remember to keep them in regards to bettering the site! Thanks.
This is where all the different major discussions regarding Gods and who is appointed that role; takes place. Here, applications are posted up, looked over, and then after a few days, and votes of consideration, we will either deny or approve of the existence of a new god.
This is the board where those who play gods get together to discuss any plot lines, or ideas regarding the gods and their relationship with the mortals they rule over. These discussions are to be OOC or IC depending on what is announced in the title.
This is the board where those who play gods get together to discuss any ideas for demi-gods or mates to the gods. It's also where they can get permission for their gods and goddess's to breed with mortals. But remember, not all demi-gods will be claimed by their parent god . . . so you may be living next to an unclaimed demi-god now.
Alright, so now you need to read up on the rules. We know that you do not like them, but they are a needed part of any good site, and they must be enforced. So read up on them, know them, love them, and then we will all have fun and be happy together.
Like any good site, we have our own, intense, and amazing plot, carefully put together, and filled with chaos, as well as canon characters for you to adopt, should the plot interest you. So come in, sit down, and lose yourself in these pages. That way you know what is going on in the world of Elementum.
All the latest news, updates, any site wide announcements can be found here, and please read up on them. Also note, often in these announcements, you can find small gestures that will put just a little more oomph into your pockets. So check it often, darlings, you never know when you'll find some good information; or a quick way to get some more divinus shards.
Ya, everyone wants to keep their character's alive, keep their accounts open... Well here is where you post when we have an activity check going on. They will be held once a month, for only a week. If you miss three activity checks, your accounts will be deleted. (This does not count if you have an away notice up). Activity checks will also help keep the Master Rank List, as well as the Character Name list updated.
Our site is filled with important positions that benefit our plot, including god auditions, as well as canon positions. And please remember, if you are interested in becoming a staff member - check out that thread as well. We welcome everyone to our team.
So you're leaving Divinus Elementum for a while? Or forever... well, I doubt you'd be able to do that... but still, if you are taking a leave, post here so we don't delete you in an activity check or something, or if you're leaving forever, so we can move your threads and character threads to archives.
This is where you post your character, but please post in the right board, and remember to wait till you are accepted before you roleplay. You can also find the name list, and master rank list here; as well as all the information you need to know about the elements. Our template is automatic, so just press 'new thread' to receive it.
Accepted characters will be moved here. Once your character has been accepted feel free to roleplay to your hearts desire. Just remember to post or update your character log, so that everyone knows what's up with your new character. Thanks!
So you're expecting a little one to come to the world? Well, unfortunately you don't get to make his/her stats. We the admins do. So if you follow the form provided, and post both the dam and the sires stats, your new foal will be given to you.
Character Logs are mandatory. They don't have to look all professional, but we would appreciate every member having one so that others can locate people's characters easier. It makes roleplaying a hell of a lot easier, trust me.
So you have an idea for a plot with your character, or you want someone made for your character, maybe you're just posting you character to see if you can find anybody to rp with... What ever the cause, post it here, and see if anyone, indeed, will rp...
This is where you can find characters others don't have the muse for anymore, or that they just want to give away. All of these individuals have their own rules for adopting their characters though, so please make sure that you follow them.
Do you have a character you don't want to play any more, but don't want anyone else to play either? Whether you're killing the character off, or maybe just sending them away, this is where you post the character. Just make a simple note with the character's information (name, herd, element, family) and why they are no longer being played (death or going away).
Swan lake is rumored to be the land where the goddess, Divum, is most likely seen. The large lake is surrounded by the ruins of an ancient castle, one of the few reminders of the human world. The large lake that is stationed near the castle is almost always cast in what appears to be twilight. Swans are attracted to the lake, and are often seen near it, or floating on it's surface. And there are rumors that if you go with the intentions of a pure heart, or if you call for her directly; you will see the goddess, Divum herself, among the swans.
Feeble Forest is one of those dark, delirious forests, that have you seeing shadows everywhere. Ghosts of the past are rumored to haunt this land, terrifying the inhabitants. But deep with in this land, you find a heavily guarded meadow. And what is in that meadow might surprise you. Of course, you better watch out, seeing how breeding is allowed in these fabled lands. But it's not just hormonal driven stallions that you have to watch for. Rumor has it, Cae likes to play in these lands, and he'll be happy to teach a mare just what she's missing when she mates with anyone but a god.
This Valley is full of beautiful flowers called Heaven's Lights. They are large, beautiful flowers that keep closed during the day, black petals curled closed. But come night, about 2 in the morning, they awaken with an unearthly beauty, their petals jumping open, and what is described as puffs of light illuminate from them. When the petals open, they reveal the beautiful purple of the inside, and are called Heaven's Lights for the way they mirror the stars. This is a common meeting ground for all equines. Fighting and Claiming are not allowed here, and breeding is highly frowned upon. It's considered one of the safest, and most beautiful places in Elementum.
Sweet, irresistible scents fill the air when one first steps in the this land. The grass is long, and sweet to the taste, while berries of the sweetest nature grow in bushes surrounding a crystal blue lagoon. Called Chia Lagoon, from an old human relic found in the area, it is a common location for mares and foals to gather. No stallion is allowed to enter this land, and no stealing, or fighting is allowed with in the barriers. However, beware; claiming can occur, and some stallions have learned this, sending in their beta mares after that little miss they just can't seem to get their hands on.
This location is one of the most hidden, secluded, and well protected areas in all of Elementum. It was crafted by Divum thousands of years ago, as a place where young, small herbivores could go to in order to escape the larger carnivores. Now, it serves a different purpose, becoming a secluded place for foals to meet and play together in. Lightlife is a small clearing, surrounded by dense, heavy thorn bushes that have grown up, and around the clearing, creating a half dome, allowing light in from only the top most portion of the clearing. A small entrance is hidden behind a layer of ivy, only small enough for a foal to fit through. No adults are allowed.
These plains are coated in a red sand, and no plants seem to grow here. The air is hot and humid, and it doesn't take long for one to work up a sweat, trying to fight of the heat. It is rumored that this land has been the sight of ancient battles from long ago, which is why it is now the place where equines battle it out, whether for positions, lands, or mares. You are allowed five attacks and three doges, no more then one attack and one dodge in a post. When you have finished your fight, pm an admin, with either the goddess or god, and the answering Deity will declare the winner.
Starkissed Divide is the legendary land where it is said that a divine and a mortal fell in love. The large meadow was said to be their meeting place, a guarded sanction that allowed the two lovers to remain together, even as others tried to pull them apart. Large cliffs surround this large meadowy land, and there is only one way into the Divide. Beneath a large archway, is the entrance to the lands. The lands is now used as a place where lovers can find each other, and other equines can find true love of there own. Claiming and Force Breeding are not allowed in this land, nor is fighting.
Casted in shadows by the mountains that surround this valley, the air is constantly alive with the promise of the unknown. Water runs down a small stream in the middle of the valley, cutting it in half. This Valley is where mares, and even stallions can come in hopes of finding a home. The rich, darkened air makes the place both comfortable, as well as a good spot for those darker creatures that go bump in the night. But be warned. Forcebreeding, as well as forceclaiming is allowed in these lands.
Northern Pass is a narrow strip between the mountains, just off of Midnight Valley. Caves and Caverns layer the rocky mountains surrounding the path, and it is in these rocks that many equines find a good spot to breed. There are such a large amount of them, too, that you never have to worry about... a 'line.'
A large pathway winds through this field, and on either side of it long grasses shoot up, often referred to as Elephant Grass. The grass is long enough to shroud any creature hidden with in it, which is why this is the most common of foaling places. The path is wide enough to ensure a pregnant mare's footing, the grass hides her in privacy as she births, and is supplies a two or three day home for the mother and foal, while the mare regains her strength, before she would start her journey home.
Fallen Forest is where mares and stallions can go to adopt a foal that has been abandoned. This land is easy to manuever, and considered safe for the foals to live in till they are adopted. But beware, for a new foal might die before they are reached. Especially if they're extremely young.
Stolen Cliff is a large cliff, that when spoke off of, the entire land can hear your words. Which makes it the ideal location for those who desire to steal a mare or foal. All they have to do is shout their riddle from the top of this cliff. If the equine being stolen is not blocked with in five days, the equine is official stolen. Feel free to read more in the rules or send a message to a staff member if you are confused.
The Air Equine of Elementum are often found in these lands. These homes fit the ideal location for these species of equine, however other alliances are allowed to live among the air, as long as permission is granted... But regardless, it does not meant it's safe for those outsiders.
Powerful, Neutral, Long Standing, With holding. All ways to describe earth-and in turn, ways to describe the lands of those who follow this element. These terras were hand picked by the Earth Equine, and while other's may reside within them, with Lead's permission-Earth Equines are the dominant race.
Rampant Chaos, Destruction, Explosions. All are common with in these Terras, for they are the lands of the Fire, and born from fire-most are still held in Fire's control. Becareful where you tread here . . . or you might find yourself being burnt. Both by the terrain, and the ones who call it home.
These are considered to be some of the most relaxing, and cool terras in all of Elementum, so it would make sense that these watery lands would belong to those of the aquatic Element. But be careful, those who can't harness the power of Water might find difficulty with in this land.
The Land of the Gentle, in every way. These terras are controlled by the equines who serve the rare element heart, and while any can stay with in these lands, the Heart Alliance prefer to take in only those who have-truly-no other place to go.
These are the lands of the rarest equines in the Land of Divinus. Spirit Equine control these lands-but will allow anyone with in them. They could be spy, or killer, demon, or friend; all can find a place among the equines of the Spirit. But be warned, the lands don't accept outsiders, themselves... While the equines won't dare harm you-unless they have no other choice-the Lands and those with in them (ghost or not) won't hesitate.
Yep, that's right, Divinus Elementum officially has a store now. Run by our beloved Eris, you can always find something, or rather, anything here. But beware, you pay with the points you get helping out around the site, or by posting. That sort of thing... So have fun, take a look around. You might find something you like.
Ya, you read that right. DE officially has an amazing, totally awesome graphic team, who need a place to call home. So, tada! here it is. Just go in, request your graphic, and our artists will have it done in who knows how long (for dream it could be years!!!) just kidding.
Here is where you will find games, polls, or anything outrageously random, really. So enjoy, just try to keep it clean guys! We don't want to run across anything scary!
If you have a question about the site, or maybe even a suggestion to make it better, then please post here, and we will gladly try to answer it the best we can. Thank you.
