Publisher's blurb:
The Kalanir are proud beasts, loyal to their pride to the last. They are capable of living side by side with the other Species of Urathun provided they are not threatened or provoked. The Kalanir are reliable mounts and once their loyalty is earned by the rider it is a life-long bond. Wild Kalanir prides can number into the hundreds if left alone by other Species. The have few predators, save for when they stray into Markedon or Sobeshuk territories. Kalanir are also favoured as the spirit animal of the Diar Pariuns due to their noble visage and majestic nature of their being. Many songs in which the Diar equate themselves with the characteristics of the Kalanir exist as tales of bravery and woe. Hunting Kalanir for food, unless absolutely necessary, is frowned upon by those in power.
