Located in the northwestern reaches of the wavering Bardosi Plains is the
hamlet of Aherindale. A humble, genial society of Tanari, the people of
Aherindale delight in festival, but their prevailing passion is horses.
Skirting the main walled village live three separate clans of expert horse
breeders, each with their own forte. Clan Zharn's specialty is hulking, capably
trained warhorses, while their polar opposite is Clan Morgaine, whose equines
excel in both beauty and performance. The oldest and most exacting clan is Clan
Swiftin, their meticulous methods of tracing lineage to ensure optimum
bloodlines producing some of the fastest mounts in the realm.

Clan Morgaine
- Ghertrude of Clan Morgaine - Ample swells and faultless curves have been expertly assembled to form this Tanari female's sumptuous body, clearly evident beneath the flowing golden cotehardie she wears. Her naturally striking face has been attractively enhanced with delicate cosmetics, from the rich russet tint that augments her glistening lips to the smoky liner that frames her scintillating mossy-green eyes. Vibrant locks of lustrous copper-red hair falls about in spiraling ringlets, as portions of her thick tresses are pinned elegantly up atop her head via golden filigree hairpins set with citrine.
- Marein of Clan Morgaine - Short of stature and bearing pert features, this female is dressed elaborately in a showy costume complete with a flowing white cape and top hat. Gold jewelry of every sort adorns her deeply tanned flesh; flesh that is more than abundantly exposed by the low-cut bodice and diminutive skirt she wears. The top of her reddish-brown hair has been cut short to allow it to curl playfully about her pleasingly painted face, while the back meanders down to nearly her thighs in a thick braid bound at its end by a shimmering golden band.

Flora and Fauna
- a diminutive fluffy dog - Looking more like an explosion of hair with legs than a dog, this mutt is interesting to behold. Fur the color of creamed coffee covers this canine, the individual hairs thick and prone to standing on end. Its tubby body is rounded and bears a tiny head, while a tiny stub of a tail can barely be seen. Sticking up from the mass of fur upon its head are a pair of triangular ears, the mini appendages presiding over black beady eyes and a pug nose of rosy pink. A diminutive fluffy dog does not look particularly dangerous. It weighs about 15 pounds.
- a miniature smoky dun pony - Bearing a coat of a distinctive smoky, grayish brown with black socks, tail and mane, this tiny pony is beautiful to behold. Her small, compact body rests on short, powerful legs, promising an incredible amount of endurance. A handsome, proudly lifted head boasts a well-defined jaw and good width between large, intelligent eyes. Her mane is long and straight, a veritable waterfall of black hair falling over one sloping shoulder, and the tail is lifted high, appearing to be a black fountain gently flowing upwards before quickly falling straight down in a silky stream. This diminutive equine has been adorned with a flashy black saddle and matching bridle that is heavily adorned with silver accents, while silver ribbons tipped with tiny silver bells are braided into her tail. A miniature smoky dun pony seems strong and confident. It weighs about 850 pounds.
