Flying Mounts
#1
Sparked by the discussion of Tarns/Rocs over in the Thonia thread, I began wondering about which flying creatures would be used by the various cultures:

Tarns/Rocs
These huge birds are found mainly in the Superstition Mountains. The Duchy of the Peaks have trainers and riders for these and are willing to hire out trainers with mounts to any neighbouring culture. Blackmoorians and Tenians have been known to use these creatures.

Pterodactyls
These creatures live beyond the Goblin Kush. Afridhi train and use them as mounts. The Egg of Coot has also been known to breed some of these creatures.

Dragons, Evil
Dragons are higly intelligent, but sometimes make alliances with humans. The Egg of Coot has some dragons in its service. When the Duchy of Ten was run by lord Ran, he was known to provide that country with large numbers of dragons. It is unknown whether the Afridhi now have access to these. The Skandaharians sometimes ally themselves with White Dragons. The Froglin have a few Black Dragons who have joined their cult. The Dragon known as Watchworks lives in the Peaks of Maus. His spawn sometimes work as mounts for the various Orc tribes of the North.

Dragons, Neutral
Many Neutral dragons live in the Dragon Hills. Some have befriended Peshwa who have learned to ride these dragons.

Dragons, Good
There are only a few good dragons left in the North. Some of them have been willing to serve Blackmoor. There are rumours that many other Good dragons are trapped in the mysterious City of Father Dragon.

Thoughts?

Cool Havard. Is afridhi on Pterodactyls your idea or did you get that from somewhere?

Thanks!

Yeah, that's mine. There are Pterodactyls in DA4, but they are said to be bred by the Egg of Coot. I like the idea of linking the Afridhi to lizard-like creatures though, and Pterodactyl riders strikes me as very Sword & Sorcery...

Some ideas for landbased mounts

Skandaharians:
Wooly Mamoths
Wooly Rhinos

Orcs:
Dire Wolves

Egg of Coot
Skeletal Horses
Nightmares

Afridhi:
Raptors

Peshwa:
Steppes Charger

Blackmoor/Dwarves:
Mechanized Chariots

Note: The above should not be considered the standard mounts, but rather exotic ones used by leaders or elite warriors of each race.

More ideas?
