Image of horseborn on the Plains of Slaughter.
The early days of the horseborn are a tragic tale indeed, no tale moreso than that of the Plains of Slaughter, where, furious at man's treatment of horses and conflicted emotions about their own relationship to the beasts, stole and slaughtered the horses wholesale in defiance. As time passed they would deeply regret the decision and withdraw further into horseborn territories, cutting themselves off from the other intelligent races completely.
