History
Shadow Warrior Lodge was founded in 1705 by Taegan Mercer and his family 2 years after they arrived and settled on the Island of Lazarus. They originally started out breeding with the horses that the four founding families brought with them to the Island, primarily they used to breed Irish Draughts and in later years they added to their stud list by including Thoroughbred's and Clydesdale's and most recently have added Cleveland Bays to their list, they have also started a program to preserve the Island's Native Horses, the Tanner Marsh.
Many changes have been made to the stud since it arrived, it now sits across 250 acres of flat fertile land nestled in amongst the trees of the Lazarus Forest. Since it was first established by Taegan it has grown and thrived, first starting out on only 50 acres of land and housing only a modest 10 stall stable, which is now integrated as part of their sport horse facility, each generation has added to it and Alex's generation is no different with the inclusion of an overhaul of the stallion barn, housing on site for the managers and their families and a small housing block for the temporary staff.
SWL is known for turning out some stunning looking horses sport horses and top notch racehorses.
In 1756 the stud was almost gutted by a dreadful fire, some of the horses and two of the staff were killed in the fire leaving the Mercer family and the Island to pick up the pieces and to try and rebuild, very few parts of the stables were untouched but one that received the least amount of damage was the stallion block which has weathered to last until this very day where it's still in service housing eight of the most amazing stallions on the island. Six of which live permanently at the stallion barn, the other two living with Alex at the Mercer family house.
Alex Mercer took over running SWL shortly after her grandfather's passing in late 2007.

Shadow Warrior Lodge is a Sims 3 stable, although several features and various other things are based off how a real life stud farm in New Zealand works.
