There is a first for everything..... - Archam - 04-27-2016
The way she soars in the giant empty field; so free, able to stop at any tree. The only eyes able to view her was the slave of Thrace.
1 from 1 herd for 1 BQ year

Empty Field- Golden Plains
So free- Reference to New Romantics in the song by Taylor Swift titled New Romantics,"The best people in life are free"
Slave of Thrace- Reference to Phaedrus
Blocking New Romantics from Phaedrus of Golden Plains
Quick question..... Can she save herself?

A character cannot block themselves, someone else has to do it for them. But say you suspected it was a steal for yourself, then you can definitely alert someone else within your herd/kingdom. Also the rules state that no herd mare can block a steal for their herd. Hope this answers your question!

The way she soars (https://www.google.com/#q=besra besra means bird, birds fly) in the giant empty field; so free able to stop at any tree, the only eyes able to view her was the slave of Thrace. (google what are plains: Description a large area of flat land with few trees.--- http://www.behindthename.com/name/phaedrus phaedrus, a slave of Thrace)
Besra of the Golden Plains
Success?

I would like to ask why "soaring" is a good clue for "bird of prey" (that would be the exact definition of Besra- namely that, that is a particular breed of bird) especially since soaring can apply to any number of things. (I.e. pegasus, planes, bugs etc.). Just wondering. Thank you

Basically, I googled Besra, and pictures of eagle's came up, so you could put two and two together from there. It is not a strict definition though, and I admit, somewhat borderline as a valid clue. I had a hard time deciding.
If you want a second opinion, that would be totally fair. @[kahzie] is the steal queen, and could probably offer her insight.
RE: There is a first for everything..... - Tiny - 05-07-2016
Thank you for explaining Kyra, I just felt that with the clue to the golden plains only being about plains and not golden plains, and then the soars, it seemed like a very criptic steal. I am not sure how much things have changed since the last time I dealt with a steal (about 5 years ago.) And it would be helpful to have a second opinion. <3 Its goign ito take me a bit to catch up with the changes and I appreciate your ability to put up with all my questions.
