Creature
Ashari Charger
The Ashari Charger is a strong breed of horse, arguably the best that can be found in The Empire.1
Origin
The breed belongs to Whitefall, the province where the finest horses of the Empire are bred. It was created ages ago by crossing a strong stallion with a mare that Lord Fangol Silvarel had given in person to Count Valigrant Welsh.2 Fangol Silvarel is one of the few elves who still carry eternal life within them.3
Temperament
Ashari chargers are neither as intelligent nor as fast as elven horses. They can, however, carry heavier weights and are remarkably fearless, which makes them a suitable choice for cavalry in war.2
