Description: Paksenarrion’s horse (he never acquires a name during the corse of Oath of Gold) just appeared one day out in a field while Paksenarrion was out riding. It doesn’t take Paks long to realize her horse isn’t any mere warhorse, but a true paladin’s mount. He’s far smarter than any regular horse, he never needs brushing, always appears fresh, and has the slightly disturbing tendency to appear fully saddled and equipped when ever Paks is getting ready to go somewhere—even if he was in his stall in the stable five minutes ago.
