Introduction

Always faithful companions of humans and elves, horses are one of the most important animals of Eden, and the most common means of land transportation.

In both times of war and peace, horses carry riders, messages, and supplies to any location in Eden.

Description

The most common colors for Eden horses are shades of brown, gray, black and white, in some cases with of spots and dots.

For the few who don't know how a horse looks like, horses have a long snout, wide nostrils, flexible ears, and big eyes. A long, thick mane blows with the wind, attached to the elegant neck, when the horse darts at great speed.

The horse's chest, broad and muscular, is capable of carrying the heaviest weights with incredible resistance. The communicative function of their furry tail is essential for wild horses that move in a herd.

Behaviour

The behavior of a domesticated horse is essentially that of a herbivore. Always restless and ready to dash away if a predator or threat appears.

Wild horses generally have a more aggressive behavior, especially the males of the herd who in nature are the main ones responsible for defending the group.

The leadership of the herd is instead assigned to a female (mare), generally also the most experienced, who maneuvers the herd from the rear and decides the possible behavior of the horses in the event of an attack.

Horses more trained for battle are generally less prone to fear and their experience consists above all in following their rider's orders even in the deafening clamor of battle, even charging head-on a forest of pikes.

It is natural for a trained horse to bond with its rider as wild horses do in the wild with their herdmates.

Horses communicate by using their tails and by changing the pitch and volume of their neighing.

Abilities

Runner: A Horse can move twice when dashing (thus moving up to 3 times its base movement). The Rider can't normally perform actions in the same turn as his horse is using this ability.

Hoof(Wild only): A wild horse can strike an attacker with a lightning strike of its very hard hoof, dealing 1d4+1 damage.

 ==Introduction==
-Horses come in many different sizes,shapes and colors. The most common colors are shades of brown, gray, black and white. Mostly with a big variety of spots and dots. Horses have a long snout, wide nostrils, flexible ears, and big eyes. On the head you will also find a hair layer in the shape of a mane and forelock. The head is attached to a long neck, which has very strong muscles. The torso includes a wide and strong chest, a massive back able to carry heavy loads, and a hairy tail.

 == Behaviour ==
-Horses have a very strong fight-or-flight response. In most dangerous situations their first reaction would be to run away. If running away isn’t possible the horse will defend itself. Horses are herd animals, with a clear ranking, led by a dominant horse, usually a mare (female horse). They are also social creatures that are able to form friendships with their own species and with other animals, including humans. They communicate in various ways, including vocalizations such as nickering or whinnying, mutual grooming, and body language. Horses can sleep while laying down,but also while standing. Horses do not sleep in a solid period of time, but take many short periods of rest. Horses spend four to fifteen hours a day in standing rest, and from a few minutes to several hours lying down.

 == Abilities ==
-Horses are held, because of some great abilities they have. The first and most common reason horses are held by people is because of their strength. They have the ability to drag heavy things like people on their back and the ability to pull carts with them. Another ability of them is that they can run very fast.
