Hanoverians are athletic and intelligent horses that take quickly to instructions, are very willing and cooperative and have the "warmblood temperament", which means they are level headed and do not tend to panic under pressure. They aren't often flighty and unpredictable, and are resilient, reliable and self-controlled. They bond deeply with humans and are very mild mannered and gentle.
Imperius - Lusitano
They are another athletic breed that was bred for mounted combat and charging at bulls. Lusitanos are very loyal to their rider and are very willing to take risks and show bravery. They have a very fiery temperament, but can stay calm under pressure and when they need to perform. However they are very sensitive to commands and can respond quite erratically to heavy-handedness and tend to be dramatic and overly protective if they feel mishandled.
Auriel - Andalusian
Andalusians are very elegant and graceful and work well for horse shows, making both really good dressage horses because they can switch from energetic to calm on command, but also horses that have historically been used for combat as well. They don't tolerate heavy-handed riders and prefer a patient and gentle and harmonic approach. They are also very reactive to the rider and need only the smallest movements to pick up what is asked of them.
Malthael- Akhal-Teke
They bond only to one handler, and can be aggressive, standoffish and hostile to other people. They tend to dig in their heels and refuse to submit to controls and instructions they do not wish to perform. They can be very independent and self reliant, as this breed was bred to survive living and traveling in the desert. They can actually even hold grudges against people who have wronged them. But they are intuitive, calm and can pick up the smallest cues and act accordingly.
Itherael - Trakehner
The most intelligent, sensitive and observant of all the European Warmbloods, they tend to be very perceptive of their surroundings and can predict and avoid things that might set them off or pose a danger. They tend to be quick learners, so with consistent riders they can even respond correctly before a command is given. They are not very flighty until they deem the situation unsafe, however being very sensitive and observant can make them prone to anxiety, which means they require patient and gentle handling, even though they are usually calm.
I wrote a little treatment (summary, sequence of events, outline) about Zora, how she lost her family and the way she and Tyrael met and ended up traveling together. I tried to keep it simple, but I hope it will be a fun read ✨
Zora (37) – (former) Knight Errant of the Cathedral of Light and escort to scholar groups
Kyril (40) – Zora's husband and a scholar for the Cathedral of Light, interested in Horadric Vaults
Boris (24) – Kyril and Zvezda's assumed half-brother and apprentice scholar to his siblings. They believe him to be their mother's bastard son out of wedlock, but unknown to them, he is a half-demon child she took in.
Zvezda (35) – Kyril's sister, Boris's assumed half-sister, and a scholar and sorceress interested in Horadric lore.
Zarek (13) – Zora and Kyril's son, who is interested in helping his father, aunt, and uncle with the research.
Tyrael (?) – Former Archangel of Justice, now a mortal roaming the West.
(locations: Fractured Peaks, a village near Kyovashad, the homestead of Kyril, Zora, their son and their in-laws)
Kyril is investigating a relic tied to an old Horadric journal he found years ago. As a self-taught Horadric scholar, he can't determine who the badly damaged journal belongs to, though over the years of studying these relics, he has picked up the script on his own. Together with Zora, who was sent as a Knight Errant of the Cathedral of Light to retrieve dangerous artifacts, they recover an item from a Horadric Vault infested with minor demons that have somehow managed to break in.
Zora, along with her sister-in-law Zvezda, leaves for Kyovashad to retrieve gems and tools Kyril requested, as he attempts to repair the relic they found. Before she departs, she tucks her son Zarek into bed, despite his protests and insistence that he is a "man" now. She warns him not to meddle with his father and uncle's experiments, and tells him to go to sleep.
Kyril, together with Boris, tries to decipher the Horadric engravings and runes on the item and is joined by Zarek, who disobeyed his mother. They consider the current research to be harmless, and Kyril takes the time to teach his son more of the Horadric language. He believes it to be a cylinder press, used to create prints on parchment.
Boris, slightly more curious about all things demonic, believes the journal gives instructions for a summoning ritual of some sort, surely connected to the Horadric relic. Despite their better judgement, they attempt it. Tragedy strikes when a horde of demons attacks the village and ransacks the homes, looking for Kyril and the relic. When they reach him, the sorcerer does the best he can to hold off the demons and protect his son and his brother, but the fight seems lost.
Suddenly, Boris transforms into a demon himself, revealing a true nature he has only recently discovered and kept hidden from his family. He uses his demonic powers to fight off the attackers, but he has no control over the hellfire, so the battle spirals and half the village is set ablaze.
Failing to stop the demonic horde and the fire despite his newfound power, Boris realizes his brother and nephew have been killed in the attack, and their home burned down. Through it all, he notices that the relic is missing, and that the horde withdraws once it gets hold of it.
Zora and Zvezda arrive quickly, having passed fleeing villagers on the road, but it's too late. They help the survivors and drive back the remaining demons. Zora spots one demon in the ruins of her home, different from the rest, and locks onto it. She hounds it all the way to the woods before she hears Zvezda's screams.
She returns quickly and finds Zvezda crying over the remains of Kyril, as well as Zarek, or what little is left of the boy. Zora's heart shatters, and she wails over what remains of her family and her home. Zvezda fears Boris might be dead too, as she searches for his body.
Boris arrives at the ruins, naked and covered in soot, gore, and dirt, but surprisingly unharmed. Happy to see him, Zvezda embraces her brother, and he hides what really transpired while they were gone. Zora feels a wave of relief that quickly turns to anger, and she demands to know how this could have happened. He tells her the demons came for the relic they were studying. In her fury, she tries to destroy every remaining Horadric artifact, scroll, and trinket that survived the fire — even the journal that caused all this grief.
This leads to an argument with Zvezda. Though they are both hurting, Zora decides to go off and grieve on her own, parting ways with Zvezda and Boris. Knowing this has been her brother's life's work and her nephew's greatest wish, Zvezda gathers up the old journal and trinkets and leaves with her brother.
(locations: The Fractured Peaks, a town near Kyovashad)
Zora has all but abandoned the Cathedral, traveling around Estuar as a knight-mercenary, but mostly drinking and getting into fights. She is barely keeping herself together, and is in no state to help herself, let alone anyone else — being constantly hungover, injured, or both.
Eventually she goes to see Zvezda and Boris, after passing out in the mud of their cattle yard while trying to stable her horse, Vranec. The siblings-in-law try to welcome her despite the way they parted last time they saw her at Kyril and Zarek's funeral. They still love Zora and feel pity for the miserable state she is in.
While a guest at their house, she spots the Horadric journal and other trinkets Zvezda has saved, kept neatly on a shelf and regularly tended to. She goes through them, and a revelation comes to her when she looks at the relic her family died for.
She sobers up for a while and asks Zvezda and Boris about it, once again discussing the topic with them as fellow scholars. She points out that Kyril was wrong to believe this was some sort of seal, meant to be inked and pressed onto paper to copy the text off the cylinder. This is the hilt of a weapon.
Together with Zvezda and Boris, they work out that one of the other relics mentioned in the journal — a pointed crystalhead — was meant to fit into this hilt and complete the weapon. Excited by the discovery, Zvezda and Boris start planning to venture out and finish Kyril's work and find this piece.
Having no interest in another scholarly expedition where she might lose the rest of her family, Zora seemingly agrees with them, before stealing the journal and all translations of the Horadric text, and vanishing in the night.
Studying the texts on her own, and building on what Zvezda and Boris had already worked out, she comes to believe the other piece lies in a Horadric Vault in the West. With her horse, she sets off to travel there, retrieve the piece, and bring it back to Kyovashad.
(locations: Kyovashad to Kehjistan, on a ship from Gea Kul and across the Twin Seas, to Westmarch)
Zora travels west in pursuit of the relic. Along the way, she improves her understanding of the Horadric language and runes, and learns the location of the Western Vault. Her path leads her to Gea Kul, where she is hired by a rich merchant family as their knight-bodyguard in exchange for passage with them to Westmarch. Once in the city, she parts from her patrons and sets off to find the Horadric Vault.
As she asks around town about the site, her inquiries catch the attention of a stranger who keeps tabs on the Vaults and pays informants to alert him whenever any mention of the Horadrim surfaces. Despite trying to keep a low profile, Zora isn't careful enough with her words, and a young boy passes the information along to the stranger for a few gold coins.
Once she learns the Vault's location, Zora journeys there, only to be intercepted by the stranger at a tavern, who warns her of the dangers ahead. She asks his name, and he introduces himself as Faysal, a fellow traveller. He tries to gauge the extent of her knowledge of Horadric matters, but she keeps it to herself — even over the food and drink he offers her, as he sees the miserable state she is in.
When she leaves in the morning, he follows at a safe distance, until she leads him astray and confronts him. He admits he hasn't been honest with her, that he too is searching for the Vault, and suggests they split whatever valuables they find inside. She tells him she needs only one thing and he can have the rest, which comes as a relief to him.
They eventually reach the Vault, and once inside, find it has already been ransacked by demons clearly searching for something. Judging by the disturbed dust, this has happened more than once, and some of the damage looks very recent. Zora finds the same symbol she and Kyril once saw in the East, where he retrieved the first piece, and uses the stolen translations and her husband's notes to speak the chant he once spoke, and break the seal. The stranger watches warily as she works, but the moment it breaks, he rushes in and tries to lift the item with a sleight of hand before she notices.
Zora catches him in the attempt and draws her sword, ready to fight him for it. Reluctant to hurt her, Faysal doesn't draw his own blade, instead using the sheath to deflect and parry her attacks so he can get away. Their fight is cut short when a group of demons attacks again, forcing the two of them to fight side by side. Realizing the demons are after the relic, they work together to keep it out of Hell's grasp, and in the effort to save Faysal's life, Zora is badly injured.
While she lies unconscious, Faysal draws his angelic sword and cuts down the rest of the demons. His power, combined with the damage from Hell's assault, begins to collapse the old vault, and he has to get Zora out fast before the outer structure fails and seals off the levels below.
Once clear, he tends to her wounds and carries her and her horse to a nearby village. After leaving her with the healer, he prepares to go, but she wakes and tries to argue him out of taking the relic. He tells her it will be safe with him and walks away. She pushes back, pointing out that she has the journal, and that without it he won't know what to do with the piece. As he steps closer to look, she snaps the journal shut and asks to come with him and help decide the relic's fate. He gently turns her down and departs.
Before he gets far, he realizes she's pocketed the relic while they talked — which explains her uncharacteristically meek behavior — and turns back to confront her. But Zora has already left with her horse, still injured, and all he can do is ride after her. He finally catches up, and the two talk it out. He confesses that he, too, has sworn to protect these Horadric relics, and he has to see this done, so the two conclude that they have to find some compromise on the matter.
(Locations: Westmarch to Kingsport, on a merchant ship across the Twin Seas to Gea Kul, across Kehjistan, to the Fractured Peaks and Kyovashad)
To keep things fair, Faysal suggests she hold onto the relic while he keeps the journal, correctly assuming she'd never go anywhere without it in her possession, given how protective she is of it. This effectively chains her to him and makes sure he can keep an eye on the relic. He also asks for her translations. She questions whether he can even read the Horadric script, and he simply explains that a friend in Westmarch taught him the basics years ago, back when he'd taken an interest in the Order.
Faysal tries using the journal to locate nearby Horadric Vaults, but with no luck, as it mostly covers the two artifacts, and most of its pages have been torn out or burned in the accident. He considers what to do with this knowledge, that wouldn't involve endangering anyone or travelling halfway across Sanctuary with Zora.
As the two of them rest at a tavern, they talk about the artifact, and Faysal asks about the missing piece. Zora describes it to him and explains that a demon took it, and that as a Knight of the Cathedral of Light, she feels it has been her duty to recover the other piece and keep it safe. Faysal asks where she means to put it, and she explains the place where they first sealed the original piece still stands open, and that perhaps she could do the same with this one. He seems satisfied with the answer.
That night, while they rest in their rooms, the town is attacked by a horde of demons searching for the relic. Faysal and Zora fight alongside the town guard to protect the people, but the destruction is severe regardless.
Mournful, the two of them leave the town, and Zora shares how the stolen piece brought destruction to her village and concludes that nowhere will be safe until this piece of the weapon is out of the world and it falls upon her to seal it back in the Fractured Peaks. Faysal agrees, but stresses that if she were to die, the piece would fall into Hell's hands. That is not something they should allow to happen, given that the piece is now their responsibility, so he suggests it would be safest with him instead. She mocks the idea, unable to see why an aging man like him would be more suited to guarding the weapon than a trained knight like herself.
After their brief argument, they agree that travelling together and seeing this through gives them a far better chance of success, and keeps innocent people from getting hurt. Reluctantly, they shake hands, mount their horses, and set off on a long journey to Estuar.
Their plan is to ride to Kingsport, take one of the trading ships to Gea Kul, and then ride on to the Vault Zora spoke of. The road from Westmarch to Kingsport is long, and over those few weeks they help a lot of the local people, as unwise as it is to stop for them, while never staying too long in one place so as not to draw the attention of the demons that keep coming after this relic.
On their way to Kingsport, Faysal finds that he is beginning to really enjoy Zora's companionship, admitting that he has been travelling alone for too long and misses his old companions. She tries to collect information from him, but he chooses his words carefully and doesn't let on too much. Still, a part of him knows that once they are on that ship to Estuar, they won't be able to part ways so easily as they can here. He feels drawn to stay in the West, but has to see this done — yet he doesn't think it's right to keep Zora "hostage" by taking away the journal she treasures.
Before the final stretch of the road, he returns the journal to her, having read all he needs from it, and tells her that he understands it belonged to her husband, and that he left some personal notes for her written in the Horadric script — which he offers to help her translate if she so wishes. Zora has nothing tying her to him anymore, but she still decides to stay regardless, and the two head to Kingsport and board the ship.
During their long travel aboard the merchant ship, he keeps his promise and teaches her Horadric, which only increases her suspicions of his true identity and his connections to the Order.
The trip is mostly peaceful, except for when they fight off a band of pirates and protect the merchants, who find themselves fortunate to have these two on board.
Once on Estuar, they run into strange people and adversaries, and face down the harsh environment of the world, all of which only strengthens the growing bond between them.
Across Kehjistan they help some of the locals, and are helped by them in turn, being provided provisions and advice on safely crossing the harsh desert. Between travelling mercenary bands, as well as merchant caravans, Zora and Faysal manage to safely reach the Fractured Peaks, with only a bunch of dangerous adventures in between.
The harshness of the cold north becomes apparent when Zora loses her horse Vranec to a goatman ambush. The loss of one of the few remnants of her old life, forces Zora to finally tell Faysal about the events of the dreadful night when the other half of the weapon was taken. The way her husband was murdered, omitting the mention of her child — though he suspects her to have lost someone else she cannot yet talk about.
He feels sympathy for her and tries to provide comfort, to which she admits that she has been drinking to numb the pain, but in a strange way, she feels guilty for no longer feeling the same kind of grief since they set off on this long journey. The past few months with him have made her wish for a different life altogether.
Despite travelling together for so long, Zora is no closer to uncovering Faysal's past than the day they met. Is he an aristocrat or a thief? Some lost prince or a liar? A knight, a paladin, or simply a mercenary? And how did a man like him come to wield a magical sword such as his? Every time she presses, he offers just enough of an answer to satisfy her curiosity and put the question off a little longer. Perhaps a part of her didn't want to know more, worried that it could sour the growing fondness she has for him.
Nearing the Vault where they need to seal the daggerhead, Zora asks Faysal about the journal and lets him look at it again in case a spell for sealing the Vault is written there. By his grim expression and the sorrow hidden under his brow, she realizes he clearly knows something he isn't sharing. No matter how close the two of them have grown, through shared meals and quiet moments, fighting at each other's side, tending to each other's wounds, he never lets her in on the great sadness she feels he carries. And in a way, she has no right to demand it, since she never tells him her true plan either.
Still, she notices how he reacts to her faith — to the icons of Inarius, and to the icons of angels wielding swords like his own, which they come across at markets in the villages where they stop to rest. Watching him, she begins to suspect things that are too childish and wondrous for a grown woman to even entertain.
(Locations: The Fractured Peaks, a town near Kyovashad, a Horadric Vault, a pocket realm of Hell)
After a long journey, they arrive deeper in the Fractured Peaks, heading all the way north in search of the Vault. Zora insists on visiting her family first, and Faysal gives her the privacy to consult with them and ask for their aid so they can safely put this to rest. Zvezda and Boris, hearing of the plan, just want the piece gone, but once Zora reveals what she really intends to do with it, they refuse to help her, and she leaves with Faysal once again.
On the road to the Vault, they are attacked by a lone demon that Zora recognizes as the one she saw the night her family died. Convinced she's finally drawn him out and can take her revenge, she attacks the creature relentlessly. Faysal fights at her side, but realizes the demon is trying to take the piece from her, rather than harm either of them.
As they defeat and pin the demon down, Zora is about to deliver the killing blow when Faysal stills her hand and asks her to look at the creature beyond how he appears. He uses his sword to gently thrust the tip through the creature's chest, which doesn't truly harm him and instead forces the transformation back to human. Zora is shocked to see her brother-in-law, Boris, sitting before them.
Furious, she blames him for the deaths of her family and threatens to take his head. Boris explains what happened that night and that all he wanted was to take the relic and run far away to protect everyone. Zora wishes she could continue to blame him, but she knows it isn't truly his fault. Faysal tries to comfort her, telling her that she has done the right thing letting Boris go and that it wouldn't be justice to harm her brother-in-law, no matter what form he took.
With the piece in hand, Zora offers Boris a way to redeem himself, instructing him to repeat the ritual he and Kyril performed that fateful night and lure back the demon he fought off then. Boris is reluctant, but he can't refuse her, so he repeats the ritual.
Faysal tries to sway her away from this, confessing what he previously kept from her: he learned more from this journal than he ever let on and knows what this relic is — a Horadric weapon designed by a member of the Order who had dangerous ambitions. It was designed to harm demons and angels alike. Zora realizes what a demon frequenting the Fractured Peaks could use it for, and instead of turning her away from this foolish path, she becomes even more convinced to follow it.
Before Faysal can stop them, the ritual is complete and a portal opens straight to the creature's lair. Zora walks in, followed by Faysal and Boris, as they cut through the incoming demons. The hordes stop attacking them once they enter the lair of the demon who sent for them.
He is a huge beast, covered in white ash that gives him the appearance of a frozen corpse, with only his bloody mouth and limbs peeking through. He is chained to a giant stone with a lance made of Light, stabbed through his chest and wrapped around him. Because of this, he is unable to lunge or move. Smaller demons have been clawing and gnawing at him, and his body is covered in burns and scars that have accumulated over the years. He has managed to get the lesser demons to hunt this relic for him, and even though he is in a miserable and crazed state, he is still willing to kill for his freedom.
Zora decides to end his life while he is still tied up, but despite their best efforts, the three of them are overwhelmed by his hordes. The demon manages to retrieve the crystal and put the weapon together. With the weapon in hand, he begins to cut through his chains and set himself free. He tells them that once free, he will come for the angel Inarius first, and save this weapon for those in the High Heavens who chained him here for thousands of years. He is glad that at least the Horadrim who experimented on him is long dead.
Faysal tells the group to retrieve that weapon at any cost, as he uses his sword to channel the Light and push back the demons before his strength fails him. The battle takes a turn when Zvezda joins in and uses her magic to overwhelm the incoming demons. As they fight for the dagger, Zora and Boris — now turned back into his demon form — try to take it from the enormous beast, but with his free hand he easily bests them and keeps them at bay. Boris puts up a good fight and severely wounds him before being overwhelmed, and Zora manages to injure his other arm so he drops the dagger. As he tosses her aside and reaches for it again, Faysal grabs the dagger and pulls it out of his reach.
He manages to run just far enough before the dagger overwhelms him and saps his power, nearly killing him in the process. He understands exactly what this weapon could've been used for, and Zora realizes his warning about how dangerous it is was true.
She takes the dagger from him and breaks it apart once again, and together with Zvezda and Boris, she finally avenges her family, Kyril and Zarek, killing the chained demon for good and putting an end to the threat.
Zora goes to Faysal and tries to rouse him, hoping he isn't dead. As he slowly comes to, she puts a hand on his cheek and softly tells him that she finally knows his true name — Tyrael, the fallen Archangel of Justice, the only one mentioned in the old journal.
When all is said and done and they leave the demon's lair, he apologizes for his deception. He hadn't wished to reveal himself to the world this way, and at first he hadn't known how much he could trust her, but the lie got out of hand, and he didn't want to ruin what the two of them had if she found out he was a former Archangel.
He explains that the journal belonged to a Horadrim of his, Zoltun Kulle, who spent the latter half of his life searching for ways to trap both demons and angels. Tyrael realizes he made this dagger to weaken and bind an angel, and that back then, as part of the High Heavens, it would have included him too. The two of them seal part of the weapon in the Eastern Vault, and Tyrael says he will find a way to hide the other half as well, hoping they will never need it — though ever since Kulle's time, something like this could have helped humanity, even against his own siblings.
Zora says she has to settle things with her family and thanks him for this journey and for helping her avenge them. Tyrael tells her that in the end, it was justice and not vengeance, despite everything. This brings her peace. She still has to deal with her demon brother-in-law and take care of Zvezda, so the two of them realize they can no longer travel together. She has her duties to the Cathedral of Light, and he has his in the West.
Bitterly, the two part ways, and Tyrael travels back to Westmarch.
In the West, Tyrael takes care of the other half of the weapon, making sure it will never be the reason for more death and destruction, honoring Zora and her family. He remains unaware of her whereabouts for months after they parted, until a child comes to tell him about a woman asking about Horadric Vaults, carrying old relics and speaking the lost tongue. He pays the child a few gold coins and goes to meet this woman at the tavern once again, ready to warn her of the dangers she might face if she is looking into the Horadrim, though he wouldn't mind accompanying her once more if she needs someone very well versed in the matter.
