Appearance. Standing
at an impressive 6 fores high these horses dwarf all other domesticated
creatures save the ulgaroth. They are heavily muscled and honed for power. Their
weight is approximately 240 hebs. They are covered in fine fur that is normally
tan in coloring. The main and tail tend to go towards darker brown or black. The
interesting difference in this breed besides their pure size has to do with
their legs. The coloration around their hooves and for about half their leg is
normally white. Along with that there is a trailing of white hair that tends to
feather out as they run.

Special Abilities.
These are warhorse of the first order, not only due to their size but their
training as well. While it must be said that they do not have the best endurance
they more than make up for it in their sheer power and size. They are trained to
kick and bite on command. This comes in very handy in battle, and is another
reason why they are prized.

Territory. This
particular breed of horse is found most often in the foothills of the Celeste
Mountains, as they are native to this area. Also those that use them keep a
pretty tight hold on them. However, some will
occassionally be traded, and when done so are highly prized and thus well paid
for.

Habitat/Behavior.
Despite their fearsome reputation as warhorses Kev'lor Horses
tend to be rather gentle when not in battle. One will often see a group of
Kuglimz children climbing all over a
Kev'lor and pretending to be warriors while it stands there grazing contentedly.

Diet.
Kev'lor horses are fed on Alth'ho grass when
they are out at pasture. When they are stabled they feed either on dried
Alth'ho or a mixture of grains and oats.

Mating. When the
mares come into heat, the lead stallion will sense this and attempt to mate with
the mare. One stallion can service up to a herd of 40 females. This can be quite
hazardous to his health, as the mares will try to resist and will kick at him.
The mare will give birth to a live foal after a gestation of several months.

Origin. The Kev'lor
were orginally the heavy calvary horses of the
Mynian Kingdom.
They were selectively bred to encourage size and power. Endurance wasn't as
necessary as they would trot their horses and as they neared then gallop, using
the weight of the horse to help in shock value. During the fall of the
Mynian Kingdom,
many of the soldiers that survived and fled left on these horses. Over time with
the dilution of pure lines the horses have actually shrunk a little in stature
and bulk to become today Kev'lor horses.
