Horse

The common horse was domesticated by ancient peoples even before the aes arrived, it is said. Although these animals are commonly used for manual labor, transportation, and as tools of war, horses can still be found in the wild. Since horses’ domestication, several breeds have been singled out for endurance and temperament, and in the case of the warhorse, for size and strength.

• SENSITIVE SOUL: Make a Perception test when this creature might sense unnatural, Odic, or magical creatures—or even natural predators. If it’s domesticated and succeeds on this test, a successful Handle Animal roll must be made for its owner or trainer to notice. This will not reveal the cause of the disturbance, just that the animal is troubled. Make a further Handle Animal roll to keep the creature under control if the source of the disturbance becomes obvious or arrives.
