Please full view.


Please don't mind me rambling on either. This is basically a ref sheet, so it has a bit of information on these beasties.

The Ferethen are wild equines who roam the Great Forest. They are extremely long-lived, and every bit as intelligent as the mages with whom they once formed partnerships. The herds keep to themselves now, hidden away in their misty hills.

In addition to the ability to speak mind-to-mind, they are believed to be so intuitive, and their comprehension of emotion and threads of meaning so great, that they are able to comprehend foreign languages and translate instantly for others. As for magic, they seem to utilise a different kind of magic entirely to the mages: one that is wild and unpredictable.

There are four breeds, from left to right: Narethen, Merthni, Isderen and Kesenri.

My characters, pictured from left to right are Tamariq, Norethir, Firraen and Arieth. Her colour, ‘swallow’, is a subtle dilution that acts on black hairs, which is unique to the Ferethen, and most prevalent in the Kesenri. Her design has changed since last I drew her - finally I have a drawing that displays her type as I imagine it.
