Could you spread a word amongst us on your rides today?"

"I suppose I could as its a bright enough day I'll have to have drink between horses.
A bit early to start planning the festivals but I won't mind letting the folks know."

The Riders
Riding their sure-footed mountain ponies is a very deep part of the Agathyrsi way of life and is even depicted in their art.
They are masters of mounted archery with their short composite bows before learning the art of the pistol.
The reknowned accuracy of the Agathyrsi has become legendary.
The Agathyrsi riders have turned this essential part of their lives into a courrier service called the Agathyrsi Pony Express.
They deliver letters too big for the meenger pigeons as well as small parcels that can fit in their messenger bags.
With a stables in every town, they can race through the gorges, hills, and mountains swapping steeds to deliver their messenger bags faster than anyone else.
