Description
Mirelost Drifter. A rangy, weatherworn horse often found wandering the edges of bog roads, forgotten trails, and places where paths dissolve into mist, the Mirelost Drifter carries the look of something that has traveled farther than it should have. Independent, wary, and quietly perceptive, it resists control but proves invaluable to riders willing to listen. Bonds slowly, but once formed, it rarely abandons its chosen companion. Some Mirelost Drifters bear old tack marks… from saddles no one remembers placing. (Ability Score Increases: +2 WIS, +1 CON. Class Affinities: Trailblazer, Windrunner, Shadowstep.)
Stray Road Archetype. These horses have been lost between places. They may lead a rider somewhere important… or somewhere they cannot easily return from. They are skittish, unpredictable, know hidden paths instinctively, are harder to bond with, but incredibly perceptive.
Windrunner Class. Fast, clever, evasive horses with sharp instincts. (Primary Ability: DEX. Armor Training: Light Barding.)
