SUMMARY
Basically, this is a nomadic group of peaceful herb-gatherers and healers. They travel the lands, gather medicinal plants, heal those in need, and trade their surplus with surrounding herds. It's not necessarily a herd, because those that join along the trail can leave at any time while they travel.


HISTORY
The group started when Stasya left her parents to go off into the world and use her powers for good. Being raised by two unicorns that regularly taught her about her gifts gave her an edge that saved many a small woodland creature. One day she had stumbled across a large unicorn crying over an injured wolf. This was Alucia and her wolf familiar Emerald.

Alucia explained tearfully that she couldn't even stop the bleeding. She was adopted and never tapped into her magic. Her familiar was in pain and she couldn't do anything about it. Stasya stopped the bleeding and then showed Alucia the plants to press into the wound. Enamored with the seasoned unicorn, Alucia begged Stasya to teach her everything.

Alucia and Stasya then happened upon Jasmine, who was struggling with the loss of her mate who had died in the Kalona war. Her children were grown and off doing their own thing, and she was lonely. She tagged along, becoming fast friends with the two unicorns and learning all she could about what plants to be on the lookout for.

And so the trio set off to travel the lands and help those in need.

MAIN GUIDELINES/BELIEFS
001. A Soquili is not to be judged by their appearance or breed, but rather the content of their character
002. If you are good in heart and mind, you are welcome
003. The injured always come before yourself
004. Violence against another is only ever a last resort

GOALS
001. Heal the injured and help those in need
002. Collect a large variety of medicinal plants/herbs
003. Bring together other like-minded healers in a safe, nurturing environment
004. Teach those that wish to learn

JOURNEY
Because this is a nomadic group, they are constantly moving. Their trail is not set in stone, but it is usually not far from the water's edge, due to the need for some aquatic plants that only sea-dwelling ponies can acquire for them. Their route changes with the seasons and they will never gather in the same spot twice in a year in an effort to prevent over-picking.

GATHERING
While the group will pick certain plants as they travel, they will settle in a spot rich with foliage (forests/jungles/etc.) for a few days at a time and actively forage for herbs in the surrounding area.

TRADE/ALLIED HERDS
Along the way the group may run into traders or herds that are interested in either the plants that they have gathered or their healing services. What they trade their goods for is decided among the group, but generally they will give their healing services for free if they're needed.
