Geographic Origin and Distribution
It was believed to be originated around the plain near the mouth of the Dirwen River which later became Valone. Some cited it's the bad breed of horses brought alongside with Krin exiles in 400 BVE.
History & Legacy
The chariot of the cloud horses led to the victory upon the Empire of Kritus during their competition sometime around the 2nd century BVE, solidifying the kingdom as the worthy opponent, beefing each other for greatness for the next centuries.
Ikanos the conqueror rode his cloud horse to expand and claim the victory upon cities in the west coast within his single lifetime. His calvary put himself in the frontline rather being in the back, showing his power upon the enemy on his powerful mount of strengh and glory.
It is pretty rare to find these days. After the Horsepower Genocide in 30 BVE, these royal breed were either brought back the Knirk or released into the wild. Someone claims to find the match horse in the wild and give to the family but many seemed to be either underperformed or being dyed. Nevertheless, It has become a belief that finding such cloud horse in a nature might lead to a good luck, or if successfully tame them it will bring the rider all the success racing.
They sound beautiful. It's a shame there aren't many around today. I like the idea that people tried to dye horses and pass them off as cloud horses though.
