Uses, Products & Exploitation

The crown sheep are highly valued for their high wool production. A crown sheep starts producing wool at 2 months old and continue their entire lives. Their wool grows four times faster than normal sheep and with their bigger body, they can produce an average of 120 pounds of wool each year. The crown sheep can also be used for their meat when they grow old and stop producing as much wool. Their horns are also sought after because of their beauty and shape.

Geographic Origin and Distribution

The crown sheep are originally native to the Karathian Moors west on Tyrania where they stroll through the highlands eating grass and heathers. A large portion of the sheep were moved to the east of the continent during the third age and have been living in the plains around Thrustenwull ever since.
