"Shahazar
Order: HOUSE SHAHAZAR of the AUTUMN SANDS
Motto: “Lighting the spark within.”
Patron: Fiona
House Shahazar, the royal house of the Autumn Sands, was founded to honor Fiona for her creativity. Like Fiona, the horses of House Shahazar love to express themselves through art and create works of beauty that inspire others. They also value thinkers who come up with great new ideas or invent better ways of doing things. Horses who show exceptionally creative thinking may be granted the Order of Fiona and invited to join the nobility of House Shahazar.
Realm: Autumn Sands
The Autumn Sands, a vast desert of unsurpassed beauty, begins northeast of Trails End and extends to the shores of Withers Sea at the northernmost edge of North of North. The Autumn Sands gets its name from the way its dunes change color with the seasons, from winter blues to spring pastels to sparkling summer white. But the rich olive, crimson, rust, and golden colors of fall are always the most spectacular. Small cities of stone buildings spring up wherever there is water. The largest is clustered around the lush, green oasis that lies in the shadow of Shahazar Castle.
Castle: Shahazar castle
Shahazar castle is a majestic desert palace rising above the autumn dunes like an ancient protective guardian. Sand dunes can be seen from all sides of the castle. A verdant oasis with lush date palms and all manned of colorful flora lies as the gateway to the castle. It is the finest display of Shahazarian architecture crafted from perfectly hewn sandstone and marble - the grandeur of Shahazar is in evidence from the carved stone columns, to the wide sweeping staircases that lead to the multi-tiered ramparts – but it is the towering entry-arch that is most impressive of all – an entrance so inviting it beckons all to enter. Horse statues reside at every entry, garden and terrace a tribute to the horses of the Autumn Sands.
