Equestrian

*Region: Idir or Peredhel (Perenhia)

Prerequisite: None*

*The region known as Idir has a great many reputations surrounding it, some good, some less so. However, everyone who knows horses can tell you that the best come from the plains of eastern Idir. To have a mighty steed of that stock is a boon to any traveler.

You may have happened upon the horse in a bet. Perhaps your family might even hold lands around the town of Veren. It’s possible you have a bit of wealth from your home in Peredhel. Whatever the reason, you have the fortune to have a gelding or a mare in your possession, though not the paperwork to prove its stock.*

• Benefit(s): You begin play with a fully trained Idirian Wild Horse. Also, choose one of the following skills: Handle Animal, Ride, or Profession (stable master); you gain a +1 trait bonus on this skill.
• Special: Where it is permitted, you may instead begin play with a pure bred Idirian Steed. However, you must pay the difference (10-45gp) in cost to acquire it.

Note: You may instead take a lesser horse and use the leftover gold for more horses or horse gear (nothing else). For example, rather than a fully trained Idirian Wild Horse (25 gp), you may have a Draft Horse (21 gp) and Tack (4 gp); or you may want three Riding Horses (24 gp).
