The horse is a commonly domesticated animal in the world. Horses are large, standing at several metres tall, tend to come in various shades of color, from white, through browns, beijes and grays, to black. Most commonly eat bread, wheat, apples, and sugar lumps. Horses are generally used as beasts of burden, being able to be trained to pull heavy loads. Given their ability to run far distances much quicker than most other animals they are typically used for transportation. Horse routes were established between many settlements in Asulon to allow quick transport between them. These routes often co-existed or competed with boat transport. Riding a horse is usually a simple process, although some are difficult to tame and may try and buck off any rider.

Horses are also used in battle, some using armor of great durability to survive the arrows and blows it gets. Horse archers have been a great military unit in the past, for the great speed of the horse allows for easy flanking and retreats if the archer requires some rest. These war horses forced a development in weapons to combat them. Pikes and spears are used with great effect on the horse and horserider, which if hit correctly will find himself out of the horse and dazed, in the middle of multiple enemies. Even dismouting arrows have been created.

They are very hard to breed, and even harder to breed good horses. Some horses can lead very high, others sprint very fast, and some can take many hits and survive. This makes good horses very expensive, though the weak ones can be quite cheap.

Behavior

Horses can be very docile or very mean. The difference is normally associated with how they were raised, and for what purpose. War horses are normally meaner and have less fears than a horse trained to travel. They enjoy a multitude of food, such as bread, apple, a sugar cane, yet it's the rare golden carrots which they completely adore.

Types

There are multiple types of horses throughout the realms. They fit into the culture and the owners of said horses, which shape them to what they need. To some, a horse is a great symbol of prestige.
