Description
The elves of Ofica recount that when their forebears communed with the spirits of the enchanted Elmwood forest, elf druids would assume the forms of the various fey creatures. However, an ancient curse laid by the vengeful sorcerer Morgalth trapped these druids in the forms of animals. Just as the ancestors of the Ofican elves guide their druids in their rituals, the spirits of these druids can awaken power in a steed to create a companion worthy of a champion.
Chokurri Steeds are awakened to advanced intelligence and powered by the touch of an ancestral spirit. Traditionally, these steeds choose Ofican elves as companions, reflecting a bond between the ancestors of elf and animal. To be chosen by a Chokurri Steed is a great honor, and any such elf is treated with respect and reverence. Still, on the rare occasions when a Chokurri Steed chooses an adventurer of a different ancestry as a companion, it is universally accepted.
Variant: Ancestral Traits
Each Chokurri Steed can be customized with an ancestral gift, a supernatural trait granted by its ancestral spirit. Choose a trait or roll on the Ancestral Traits table for each Chokurri Steed.
