Uncommon

The Umbral Court of Pangolais has held Nidal as its unquestioning thrall for millennia. Zon-Kuthon is its one and only master, and to many of the country's citizens, it seems inconceivable that anyone could escape his chains. Most accept this fate as stoically as possible. But with Gorum's recent death, some have gained the strength to finally fight back. After all, if one god could perish, why not another?

Many riders of the Atteran Ranches have begun to gather under the banner of Horselord Iriatykis after she forged the spear known as Shadowpiercer from a fallen piece of Gorum. Iriatykis's crusade has brought hope to a place that never believed it possible. Now, war casts its own shadow over Nidal. The freedom of the riders and their horses is at stake, and perhaps even Zon-Kuthon's dominion may crumble.

You count yourself as one of the horselords who are ready to take up arms against the Midnight Lord and his Umbral Court. Whether you were born into one of the ancient, close-knit families of the Uthori Steppes and learned to sit in the saddle before you could walk or have spent years working for the stoic ranchers, you have formed a strong bond with one of the nation's breeds of horses. From the swift, stoic nidarrmar to the wild, gray-dappled chiardmar, these animals are considered by many to be the finest horses across Golarion. Their lineages are as familiar to you as your own blood kin and are equally dear.

Through your connection to a Nidalese horse, you understand the hardships suffered by the nation's people. You perhaps even survived them yourself. It is time to fight back against the darkness, so that all this suffering is not in vain.
