The Kelpie is an urban legend developed by the sightings of stallions near bodies of water. It is alleged that this creature is actually some sort of supernatural being, that takes the form of a horse to take its victims. Much about this creature is unknown, as there have been no recorded sightings of it by anyone who currently lives.

Creation/Origin

Beware the mare of the watered beast, for its grip is the vice of mortality

The origins of the Kelpie have been passed down through Orenian peasantry, in an attempt to scare their children to not going near waterholes without their presence or consent. This brutish tale starts with the introduction of a woman in white who drowned tragically in a lake, held down by her horse that her father gave her. After many weeks, the woman rose again as a spectral being, all while blighting and enchanting the lake surrounding it with the powers of witchcraft. One day, a band of vagabonds came across the lake, it covered in the beauty and be-witchery of nature's bounty and ever entranced those who came across it. The lead of the group had wandered to the lake and found the corpse of a woman who had fair hair, her dress tattered and her skin a white sheen. They all gathered the corpse when a fine Stallion of white appeared at the head of their caravan, it's mane drenched in water and smelling of the coast. One by one, each of the vagabonds placed themselves ontop of the creature, letting it ride into the pond and drown those stuck upon its mane in a peaceful few moments. The magics of the lake made it so those who sat upon the Stallion calm and almost disconnected from the world, these men who were put upon a trance were never seen again.

No-one should wander to lakes and try to take what is not theirs, or their biggest wish may come true and bring them a swift death.
