Courser

"I will admit, of the things the Assarian Empire has to offer, these take the cake." - Visiting Nobility to the Assarian Empire

Embodying many things, the Coursers of the Aldarian plains were a unique thing created in the world of Te'za. A unique combination of the Spirit Realm and the wild north lands that Aldaria once was, these creatures were elusive, powerful, and strong above all other creatures so much so that they captured the imagination, and faith, of the original settlers of the land. With the changing terrain around them, they became intertwined with the settlers of the land and through a long process of attempting to tame more than a horse, but a creature of intelligence, they came under the sway of the Assarian Empire, and in turn Rauzel the God of Freedom.
