Iron Age - Animals

Animals

Animals are creatures that currently lack the capacity for sapience. 

Mounts

Large strong domesticated creatures, bred for their speed and endurance. Mounts are typically faster than humanoids or at the very least offer a significant advantage to a rider. 

Table of Mounts

Ram A trained and domesticated ram, surefooted and stubborn.  6 (12) While Galloping Medium 2 16 Charge 50 kg 10 Silver 100 Silver
Racnid Giant spider-like creatures, bred to be superior mounts. While they lack the wall climbing and web spinning abilities of their smaller cousins, racnids make up for it in speed and size. Able to keep pace with the average racehorse and fully capable of defending itself, it’s clear why Racnids are the choice mount of the Under-Realms.  7 (14) While Galloping 2 m 3 22 Bite, Claw 80 kg 90 Silver 900 Silver
