Remin's attention was drawn to a disturbance at the eastern edge of the field.
A massive warhorse—no, it was like a beast with its bulky frame and its wild eyes, nearly eighteen hands high and built like a mountain of muscle—trotted toward him.
It was a rare hybrid of the warhorses, called the black daguns. It had a black mane, thick and long around its head, like flames fluttering in the air. Its legs could easily crush a man, muscular and powerful, propelling the beast forward with frightening speed.
Its bloodline mixed with something more than mere horse, giving it strength and ferocity beyond ordinary mounts.
Upon the creature sat the Phoenix General Iorina, one of the six Great Generals of Arshiks.
