Editing Storm Riders (section)

==Calling horses==
This is making me think of the Pol Joni mounts, which are probably some of the finest horses found outside of the Grazelands. I assume that every Pol Joni has a riding mount, and that to survive on the Plains of Prax that they need to be fast, tough and able to go without water for a very long time. Most likely, Pol Joni horses are similar to the Namid Desert Horse The breed is very new, as the Pol Joni have only been in existence for about 200 years, and likely the result of a combination of breeding, theft, and heroquesting on the part of Derek Pol Joni and other Pol Joni heroquesters.

All Pol Joni ride, and are raised with their mounts since birth. While there are horse care specialists in the tribe and your clan, you all know how to feed, groom and care for your mounts (all First Aid checks are done as if you were working with a human.) Further, as a result of your adulthood initiation rites, Heal spells count for full value when used on Pol Joni mounts for men and for Pol Joni cattle for women (Redaldans get to heal Horses at full value, Storm Bulls can heal cattle for full value, as well.) Your mounts all have names and accompanied you through your boyhood initiations. They can be easily summoned with a whistle, and are as intelligent as Grazelander mounts (which your breeders insist are inferior Yelm-slave animals!) Well trained Pol Joni mounts can easily fight alongside of a footman if properly trained, and there is Derek Pol Joni hero cult magic which can Awaken Pol Joni steeds - these are usually companions to the clan and tribal chieftains, and they lead and protect the breeding herds. Most Rune Lords who lead the tribe in battle opt for Awakening their mounts instead of the more customary Awakened Alynx.
