Horse

The noble horse. Strong, reliable and quick. People across the world use horses in their daily lives, from farm work to pulling wagons of supplies and just pleasure riding through the country. They are a truly wonderful animal for all the work they are needed for as well as companions.
As they are found throughout the world, their appearance varies. The Eledhrim have the largest of all breeds, the Lobor, which is also the fastest and strongest. Long trained by the Lhûg Eledhrim, who dwelt in the plains and wilds of Gîlmunrîel for several ages, they were greatly adapted for life in such a harsh land. Their strength gave them the ability to carry loads, often consisting on the Eledrhim's belongings, weapons and their own person. The Lobor were also used in hunts for food as well as battles with the Drakie-kin when it became necessary. They also could survive the harsh winters that Gîlmunrîel is infamous for.
In Coruscare, the Equos is the horse to have. A bit stock, well equipped for the high heat, it is only used by military forces and tradesmen.
Besides work, horses are used throughout the world as racers. It is great fun to witness a chariot race or see skilled archers display their bowmanship from the back of their steed.
