Here on Isles Above, you can create your own herd so long as you have seven members plus the thread of them banding together.   The name of the noble NPC who sponsors your herd will be randomly generated. 

Said members must continue to be active else the herd leader or second in command will need to make a decision in the Updates section below. 

If there is inactivity, the herd will face a RNG roll with a threat of dispersing unless the leaders does:

1. Create a new contract with the noble NPC who sponsors your herd. 
   
   
2. Try and have another noble NPC added as sponsor to make your herd last for two weeks without inactivity.
   
   
3. Make an offering to the NPC King that rules the Isles to have the herd be permanent no matter the inactivity until the leader OR original herd members and their offspring leave.  Be warned, he will most likely turn you down.
   

To keep your herd despite people falling inactive, the leader must reply with the form filled out below. If they're absent, the second in command can issue it.
