So you've obtained an import in your Royal Bank, and you aren't sure what to do now?
Then you've come to the right place!

In more recent years, we've directed you to note NordannerDesign in order to use your imports. However, we've made the decision to change this and update our way of processing imports to make it easier and less frustrating for both members and admins. 
Now, instead of needing to send a note with your design, then waiting for an admin to transfer it, you can download the import lines and design your import yourself!
**STOP**

The Nordanner Import lines belong to Nordanner only.
They CANNOT be uploaded to personal accounts.
Access to the lines for import design are NOT for personal usage.
If uploaded to a personal account, we WILL ask for it to be removed. 
DO:
  • Use these lines to design your starter Nordanner.
  • Accept commissions to design a Nordanner on these lines.
DO NOT:
  • Make adopts with these lines (i.e. you cannot design a horse on these lines, and then sell the design using these lines).
    • ​Designs on these lines must be for a horse which already exists through either ID number or in a member's Royal Bank. ​
  • Upload them to your personal account.
  • Pre-design imports with these lines to sell them as a custom Nordanner import.  Only the group may sell customs.
  • Use these lines for any Nordanner which is not a starter.
  • Edit the lines in any way (you may color in the lineart, so long as it is still visible).
  • Use these lines to design a Semi-Custom import. (see semi-customs below).

Imports 101

Imports are starter Nordanners. These have no known lineage, as they are descended from the wild stock roaming Kisarana. There are only a few ways to get an import, and they have varying degrees of customizability.
Different types of imports:
  • Custom
    • This is a completely customizable import. You can choose the genotype and design it yourself!
    • This includes both natural and mutation imports, along with imports where you have used an attachment stone to create a BP or Anomaly import. 
  • Grab-bag 
    • Send a note to Nordannerdesign to get two randomly rolled genotypes and an assigned ID number. You will then pick between the given genotypes and design your horse on the import lines.
  • Semi-Custom
    • Send your preferences in a note to the Nordannerdesign account. The form is on the front page of the account, and the bullet below. You cannot pick the genotype and it will be designed by one of the Nordanner Design team.
    • Base Coat: (Dark, Medium, or Light) 
      Min/Max White:
      Favorite Genes:
      Least Favorite Genes:
      Preferred Gender & Height:
How to Submit Customs and Grab-Bag Imports:
  1. Download the import lines above.
  2. Design your horse.
  3. Upload your import to stash, including a desired phenotype, height, gender, and genotype.
  4. Send it via note to NordannerDesign and link the stash file. Do not upload to your personal account.
  5. It will be reviewed using the Design Guides - if edits are needed they will be given. If no edits are needed, you will receive a message letting you know it's all approved and it will be added to the uploads list!

Please note: If you include a desired genotype, it may need to also be edited in order to stay within gene limits. This will be one of the edits we will let you know about! If your horse is a Grab-Bag, you must​ pick one of the selected genotypes, and can not edit it. 
Where can I get an Import?
  • Grab-Bags, Semi-Customs, and pre-designed imports are all sold at monthly sales, which take place on Discord in the Monthly Sales channel.
  • Customs are sold during the Winter and Summer sales. This is the ONLY place you can buy a mutation import as well. 
  • Additional genes can be added to an import for $5 per gene, which can be paid in GC, Gems, or USD. Purchase should be submitted with the import. 
Import Genes, Attachment Stones, RNG Traits:
  • Most imports are restricted by number of genes, and unless stated otherwise in the bank for your import you have 6 genes to work with.
    • We only count after ee and aa -- they are included. 
    • Genes such as flaxen, pearl, cream, lilac, and mushroom still count as one whether they are in heterozygous or homozygous form. 
  • If you want to add an RNG trait to an import, you must use the item. You cannot just request it.
    • Luck potions cannot be used on an import as they are a breeding item designed to randomize an RNG trait on the resulting foal. 
  • Attachment stones are needed if you are adding a:
    • Anomaly
    • Breedable Potion
    • Touch of Glimmer
    • Radioactive Stone
    • Mutation Genes (unless you have been sold or won a Mutation import instead of just the genes)

Special Imports

Nordanner has three types of special import: Jokers, Quinns, and Riddlers. 
About:
  • These horses are sterile, but have almost no design limitations. 
  • Offer great prizes when ranked up through the Queens Reputation system, including imports, rare items, and other exclusive goodies!
  • When redesigned, these horses can completely start over on the kaaring ladder and re-earn prizes, regardless of if they are transferred to another user or not. 
  • Purchase of these imports are only available twice a year during sales. Only one of each is sold per sale. 
  • These imports are also offered as prizes in the Dragon Hunt each year for 1st-3rd places. 
​
Rules:
  • Designs cannot have text or copyrighted materials.
  • Cannot be bred. 
  • When renaming, they do not need a renaming token. 
  • You will need a redesign token if you wish to redesign the horse.
