Valishar

Valishar is the underground kingdom of the Nelvarei that expands under the majority of Terrainia. Its society is hierarchical with Great Houses controlling the wildest excesses of its people. These houses in turn answer to the Queen who communes directly with Katrinix, their corruptor and directs their overall efforts.

Those efforts are mostly a crusade against the surface world, often resulting in bloodshed and the taking of slaves for use in unholy rites. Valishar is a realm always balanced on the edge of a knife, its self-destructive tendencies barely held in check as it brings death and destruction to the degenerates on the surface of Terrainia.

When a Nelyani horse begins to age beyond battlefield use, or is injured beyond healing, the Blood Maidens of the Valishar nation will perform a blood ritual to transfer its life force to a younger horse, while that body now shares its life experiences it also becomes slightly more powerful. After a few such transferences the creature is less horse and more beast, these creatures are called Blood Steeds, stronger, tougher and nastier, these steeds are taken by the Sanguinors, an elite band of Ebon Guard that ride these beasts into battle. Capable of performing a ritual on the corpses of their enemies they can transfer the blood of the defeated to both reinvigorate and empower their steeds.
