These horses are the specially breed steeds of the barbaric wild elves. Normally, these steeds are only gained by outsiders by capturing one after slaying his rider. Sometimes, a Elven War Horse will walk away from the tribe and seek out some deserving paladin. Nobody knows why this happens but the Wild Elves believe that the horse is "cursed by the gods" to leave the tribe. Wild elves never seek to recover these horses but will grant their riders respect when encountered.
Elven War Horses will not submit to wearing armor.
Carrying Capacity: A light load for an Elven war horse is up to 400 pounds; a medium load, 401–750 pounds; and a heavy load, 751–1200 pounds. An Elven war horse can drag 6,000 pounds.
Long Lifespan: The horses bred by the Wild Elves have been bred for strength, speed, and health. Consequently, these horses can live for up to 300 years. A foal reaches maturity after 20 years. After 250 years, the horse starts to show its age. Most horses that reach this age are used to train its master's children in how to ride.
Breeding: The females are not fertile with normal horses although they will attempt to mate with them when in heat. A station is thought to be infertile as well but rumors exist of mythical crossbreads. These crossbreeds are said to have the physical features of their father but lack the long lifespan. This rumor has never been proven true but Wild Elves tend to take extra care around female horses in heat.
