This is the place where you can hang out, talk... all that good stuff. Heh, it's 'General'! What did you expect?

This is a place that you must go to and read as a new member or maybe even a guest. It is essential -- you may get banned if you break the rules!

Here is the area where it all began. View all past important happenings and the current plotline. You may also find several significant cats. You can, too, discover more about each tribe.

Self-explanatory; guests welcome to criticize or praise.

Do you have any questions of any kind? It could be questions about proboards, the history, or which wire to cut first. This is for pretty much everything... but I suppose it's created to mainly focus on the site xD. So, go have fun. Guests welcome for asking.

This board is where you'll find all of our activity checks and stuff ^^. Oh, and don't forget -- if you are going to be gone or not going to be as active, please post in the correct sub-board. Thanks!

This, my friends, is the place in which if you're not staff you should not be reading this, because you are wasting your time. All you're gonna be told is what you already know -- you're not going to get in. So, I'm going to say it now, 'cause you're still reading this if you're reading this. One, two, three... *takes breath*. >.< You're supposed to leave! Okay, fine. I'll say it. You're not coming in if you're not staff :3. THERE! x3... heh. Now, if you are staff, I apologize for the large intro. Just click it. CLICK IT!!! o3o random outburst.

Do you wish to advertise or affiliate with TNL? Did we advertise on your website, and you've come back for revenge? This is the area in which you may do all of that -- and this is the only area.

Really, this has a snazzy name and all, cuz it's the awesome book of awesomeness! xD Actually, it's to keep track of your cats. Please post in the correct sub-board ;3.

Do you have your cat in mind? Are you ready to roleplay? I sure hope you are, because here is where you make them! It's where the fun begins...

Once a staff member has gone over your application and has deemed it worthy, it will be moved here. The second you see that your 'puppet' is here, you may go roleplay all you want with that particular character. :3 Congratulations.

This is a sad place; a sad place indeed. If your application was moved here, it means that there was something wrong with it. Don't worry, it wasn't defective or anything xD. Perhaps you just didn't follow the requirements or something? That would probably be the issue. Your character is not disowned and you're not going to die -- the staff that denied it will most likely explain the problem to you so that you can fix it. Once properly fixed, it will be accepted ^^.

Are you looking for the proper mate, or has a new litter of cubs/kits been born? Come here and show them off -- or even put them up for adoption! If you're looking for a mate, simply post a thread containing what you're looking for in a male or female, and which tribe you want that male or female to be in. Get creative! xD Err... not too creative, though ;p.

So, have too many kitties, eh? Or p'rhaps you have too little. Whatever may be the case, cats are prone to be put up for adoption all over the place -- all you need to do is meet the requirements that the creator of the cats or the poster that is selling the cats. You may be asked to 'audition' or pay a certain amount of coins. Whatever the case may be, this is a win-win situation, you might say :3.

Mwahahaha! Yes, plot evil plans with your friend! ...Actually, this is for any kind of plot, whether it is concerning the main plot or you're creating a mini plot ;3. Good luck in finding your comrade and getting ideas!

This desert covers a majority of Merjrag's territory. It is dusty and dry, but the Merjrags [who mostly consist of lions] are very much used to it. This great desert has a few palm trees and water holes, as well as some grasses which are scorched dry by the hot sun. The Merjrags, however, have developed a way to catch the pesky meerkats, find the smallest mice, and detect the faintest trickle of water. You must say, the Merjrags actually like their portion of the island!

If you haven't already guessed, yes, this is a volcano. Luckily, it's pretty much extinct so it doesn't erupt anymore, but it still is very warm and it is believed to be 'sleeping' rather than being extinct, but all of Eiko sure hope it's extinct. It had erupted once before, and it swept across most of the island, wiping out two thirds of Eiko's population. Fortunately, they have recovered since then. Merjrag enjoy living in the caves at the foot of the volcano. The smell of ash and the feeling of warmth is win according to Merjrag members.

This is a decent-sized field that used to be full of splendor and lush, green plants; at least, it was pretty to Uka, which was why a lot of disputes were over it. Merjrag hadn't even desired to have it, but the urge to just have authority over more land was too much for them, so that won over logic. Eventually, however, when the volcano became active, pretty much all was lost and Uka no longer wanted it. It was vacant of any prey, so Merjrag didn't want it, either -- until when it started to grow back. But this time, the ash was falling and continuing to fall for weeks. Soon enough, it was a field of ash and what was better: prey dwelled in it! So, now it is a favorite of Merjrag. The ash continues to fall from the fiery depths, especially in the summer.

This is a flat plain with a few shrubs scattered here and there. It storms a lot in this particular area, and even when it isn't storming you can feel the crackle of static electricity in the air just because there's so much lightning. You can always hear the rumble of the thunder in the distance...

If you travel into the heart of Lastrang territory, you will find the Shimmerlight Hollow, a gorgeous place that is sacred to the Lastrang. It is a dip in the ground, as if a giant paw had come forth and scooped the sand out of barren grounds and spread the hollow and the regions around it with plentiful grass and trees. Indeed, Shimmerlight Hollow is one of the prettiest places in all of Eiko. It has evergreen and decidous trees alike, and through the leaves descend sunlight, some strands being tinted by the green atmosphere. Shimmerlight Hollow also has a considerable amount of moss, and there is a clear pool in the very center of it.

This forest is full of the tallest trees you have ever seen. They loom over you, and their bark is smooth. It is not only smooth, however; these trees carry the color of bright red. The light reflects these red trees, or redwoods, and make the air tinted with red.

The tribe of Uka mainly hang out here, nestled in the high branches of the extremely tall and thick trees. Vines are descending everywhere, some winding around the trees or touching the ground. There is a good amount of moss, making it quite slippery. Of course, the Black Jungle must have gotten its name from somewhere. Well, it's dark. Very, very dark. But the majority of leopards that live here have very keen eyesight, which is great for Black Jungle. Beware, though -- there are more things that lurk in the darkness, like snakes and crocodiles...

'Dense growth' is a large few acres of land that are insanely.. dense! Uka does not bother to tend to these plants and make them nice, for this dense growth is extremely... abundant. It grows quicker than any of the other plants, and if you give it a nice, neat cut it'll be the same as it was before you cut it in two days! Dense growth is the most tangled, dense place in all of Eiko.

There must always be that decidous forest with pretty oak trees towering over your heads, so that is why we have created it. It is quite pretty, with glittering beams of sunlight filtering through the branches, full or bare. It is a popular place -- for Uka, at least. Plentiful in prey.

This is a very wide river, with freezing cold water. Reeds sway in the gentle breeze, poking out of the banks of Haku. The shore is very sandy and your paws sink into it. A portion of the bank is covered by long rocks; they are called the 'Blaze Stones'; these Blaze Stones, indeed, are perfect for stretching out on and sunning.

This is a group of stones that are settled beside a portion of Haku River's shore. The sunlight descends onto them, and it is easily stated as the most popular sunning place. Sometimes other tribe cats steal over the border to sun here! It's the perfect spot, and they often quarell over it.

If you enter these woods, expect to be infatuated by the gorgeous leaves which are always magically lush, even in the winter. It is believed that a certain panther female sent a prayer to an otherworldly essence that enveloped her when she stepped inside of the forest and thanked the creator of all the world... but that is only a legend, some say. Who knows? But whether or not the tale is true, the woods were named after that event when the panther first discovered the wood. It is breathtaking, you must admit, and it contains a majority of evergreens and a lot of beeches, redwoods, and birches. Ancient oaks are to be found in the very center of the wood; sunlight streams through the leaves and touches your fur, making you warm whatever season it may be.

All of these streams branch off of the main river, Haku. They beautifully slide over the rocks and gracefully glide along the banks. Most of these streams are thin and can be easily hopped over, but some are half the width of Haku, which is pretty big.

Since the tribe Drakor just love the earth and its contents, they chose the most barren land -- more barren than Merjrag's territory, even! A quick wind does settle in the Dusty Waste, though, which is how it is seperate from the other regions in Drakor's territory. It isn't hot at all -- actually, there's just a major lack of water, so there isn't much prey in this place. But there are some places in Drakor that are grassy and nice; great for finding food.

This is a pretty valley at the bottom, with plenty of prey and lots of grass for wild livestock to graze on, as well as nice places to relax. There is a flowing stream with the clearest and coldest water, fresh from the glaciers of Maurea Mountains. The water pours southward, descending down the boulders in Deathrock Valley, plopping into the stream with a continuous flow. There is a catch, however, in this paradise. It's the way to get in and out. You may find it difficult to clime down the slippery boulders or manuever around the sharp icicle-like stones that arch over Deathrock Valley. If you fall, you may get crushed or speared. Thus, you might die if you attempt. For the going up part, it's pretty much the same fate, but it's a different way -- you might fall to your death and get splattered instead of being gourged or crushed :3.

Its name pretty much describes what it is; the cliffs are... well, cliffs! Several cliffs, actually, hence the plural name. Weeds and rocks and stones... all of it can be found here. Sometimes cats shelter under the cliffs when it rains, or just plain to have a home. Some cliffs contain caves.

This is the darkest place on Eiko -- it is even darker than Black Jungle. One could hardly see, and the only light that penetrates through the shield of pitch black is eaten before it touches the ground. Only the slimiest creatures dare to live in this deep forest. You couldn't even tell if you slipped into one of the caves, in which there are many. Some might wonder how Aruken lives in this awful darkness. Well, none really do know how. They just live, feeding on the unknown. There are rumors that if an Aruken that comes from Darkness Devours ventures into the light, they discentigrate. We all know that this is not true, but the other tribes believe otherwise.

The Haunted Wood has 'dead' trees all over the place, and they are all far apart. It has many white birch trees that look ghostly and pale; overall, it's barren and scary. It often has a mist or fog hugging the ground; perhaps drifting around the bare treetops, too.

Mist Valley speaks for itself. It is a mere dip in the ground, with lush grass and plentiful prey. Rabbits are common around here; particularly 'White Rabbits', large hares that are... well, white! And they're hard to catch, too, for Mist Valley is indeed full of a white mist in which you can easily get lost in.

This is a gorgeous waterfall that seems, from the ground, to touch the skies. That is where it got its name from. All but the Fera tribe gape when they see it; but Fera is used to it, for this is where most make their home. The tall trees are very pretty, and shrubs are plentiful. Around the waterfall and the pool that it falls into have huge, gray stones and boulders similar to Blaze Stones, but it isn't nearly as warm. At night, the moonlight sparkles against the falls, making them blue.

The Stretching Moors is a long expanse of... well... moors! Rabbits are plentiful in this particular area, and it is savored by the beasts who live there. Winds tear across the deep green grass, and hills dip up and down towards the west horizon. This is a favorite of the Fera tribe, for they enjoy the plump rabbits that scour the lands.

These hills are very similar to those in the stretching moors, but they are different in one way: they're steep. Well, actually, they're also in the more southern part of Fera's territory and are just closer together. They are, too, more difficult to manuever and jump and run. The soil is hard and packed while the grass doesn't grow very well. :3 So that proves that there's more than one difference...

These mountains stretch on the north side of the huge island [which is almost like a continent], Eiko. Their snowy tips seem to touch the sky. Down at the foot of the mountain, however, lies a beautiful wood which ascends up the mountain until about halfway, where it turns into an evergreen forest. As it continues to ascend, the evergreens diminish, and soon it is only an icy waste where no life dares to step.

The name 'barren path' explains what it is exactly. This path is normally only dared to be stepped on by travelers, and it's barren in appearance, too. Weeds poke through the rocky dirt road and pinch your pawpads. The sides of the unkempt path are crawling into it, making the once-wide road a mere skinny paw-path.

This is indeed a huge bowl filled with gorgeous rippling water. Reeds sway at the edges, while the blowing winds brush against the water's surface, making the delicate matter ripple. Fish dart here and there, and croaking frogs are common. This place is most pretty at the beginning and end of the day. The large lake is always just referred to as, 'the lake', because it is the only one in all of Eiko.

This is the crazy place to free float and stuff ^^. Still pay attention to the rules, though, and please don't chatspeak like crazy. This is just the randomness bored if you feel the need to... you know, yell out random stuff. :3 So yeah! Fun, eh? It's also a way to communicate with fellow members and such. Get to know each other <3.

Hello thar :B. This is quite the magical shoppe, with privileges and such to purchase with the coins you got there. *pokes coins*. It's nice, isn't it? Oh, whatever. Just go in and view the stock, then request a buy.

This is where you may show off your lovely drawings, graphics... anything that has to do with art, I suppose. Go on! Go on... go go go! Have fun ;3. Oh yes, and don't forget; you may also write things here. Share your talent.
