Where'd you get them all?

[ten_thousand_horses]

I won them. My father wishes me to marry, but I will not marry a man that cannot best me in wrestling. If he wishes to attempt, he must bet one hundred horses. If he wins, he may marry me. If he loses, I get his horses.

I have a considerable herd and no husband.

That's marvelous! You ought to meet the Lioness; she's bested plenty of men in her time, too.

[ten_thousand_horses]

I would be pleased to meet any woman called Lioness. You mentioned Horse Lords... who are they?

[wildmage_daine]

I expect she'd be pleased to meet you, too.

Oh--they're some of the gods from my realm. We've got a fair few, and it seems like... [ she pauses, considering, and not wanting to offend anyone who might be listening ] ... well. I don't know if other realms' gods are just quieter, or how it works, exactly. But the gods in my realm are a bit more... present. I haven't met the Horse Lords, but there are other gods I have.

We pray to the Eternal Blue Sky. We also say prayers to Tengri, Bai-Ulgan, Umay, Kayra, Erkliğ, and Erlik.

I like the sound of your Horse Lords. That is what my people are.

[wildmage_daine]

[ Daine nods in understanding; that sounds closer to a reasonable number of gods than most realms seem to boast. ]

I worked with horses back home -- well, mountain ponies, mostly. At least, that's what I did before we started getting all these immortals in the realm, and having to deal with that all the time.
