Eden
Eden is a place where mortals may safely converse with those of the Afterlife. It is a peaceful, serene place where all ailments are cured - the blind can see, the deaf can hear, the mute can speak. Any powers possessed by residents of the Afterlife are nullified here, as all are created equal.
Videnie
Videnie is a place where mortal equines may become Seers. Seers are horses that are connected to the Afterlife and are sent visions by them of the future. They may serve either Utopia or The Underworld. Seers gain this ability by selling their soul to whichever side they wish to serve. During visions, Seers will become weak and will experience traumatic headaches. The visions they are sent may change, as the future changes, and some visions may be false and misleading as Utopia may send false visions to Underworld Seers and vice versa. Utopian Seers' eyes will go white when they receive a vision and Underworld Seers' eyes will go black, no matter which side sent the vision.
The Freelands Of The Afterlife
All Afterlife residents are welcome to travel in Asphodel, including residents of Utopia and The Underworld. Any Afterlife character with powers will retain it here. There are no rankings and no rulers. Afterlife residents may explore the main Asphodel board, or the Radiant Falls and Hinterlands sub-boards. The residents of Asphodel are kept track of in the Asphodel Resident List.
All horses who end up in Asphodel are welcome to stay as long as they'd like, instead of joining a side. Horses in Asphodel may become injured and will heal slowly over time. They may also breed, but must appeal to the Lord and/or Lady of Utopia or The Underworld in order to do so.
Entry To Utopia Or The Underworld
Residents of Asphodel may appeal to become a part of Utopia or The Underworld by contacting the Lord and/or Lady of that respective side. They may do so by posting in the Judgment board. They may have to fulfill certain requirements in order to be accepted to that side. If they are currently working toward becoming a part of either side, they will start displaying their choice of either horns or wings.
Banishment
All characters banished from Utopia or The Underworld will end up in Asphodel. Those banished will lose all of their powers and their wings/horns will become damaged. This includes seraphs/fiends/daeva, who still cannot be touched by mortals. Those who have been banished may still attempt to gain entry to Utopia or The Underworld.
Stealing And Battling
Asphodel residents cannot steal and cannot be stolen. However, they can participate in battles like any other mortal.
Utopia's Purpose
Utopia is the place where angels reside. Utopia seeks to maintain peace, balance, and justice within the world of Wild Equines. Their ranks are populated by those who are pure at heart and who seek to make the world a better place through Utopian intervention.

Residents in Utopia must remain active and may be frozen if they fail to maintain activity, at which point they must meet privately with the Lord and/or Lady.
Seven Virtues Of Utopia
There are 7 virtues of Utopia. Each virtue is owned by one equine. The personality of the equine who possesses each virtue should reflect the nature of the virtue.
In order to gain a virtue, an equine must fulfill the tasks required. They must approach the Afterlife leaders and seek permission for a virtue, and in return they will will have to perform a task that is specified by the leaders. The tasks might vary according to which virtue is being sought.
Should all virtues be claimed, one may challenge for the rights to them. However, they must first ask the permission of the Lord and Lady of their designation and they may be required to perform a task in order to prove their worth beforehand.
The Underworld's Purpose
The Underworld is the place where demons reside. They are commanded by the Lord and Lady of the Underworld. The Underworld seeks to sow chaos, destruction, and misery to the lands of Wild Equines. Their ranks are populated by those evil at heart who seek to serve the Lord and Lady in their destruction of the mortal realm.
