Glittermane

Glittermane is a talking horse, ridden by the artist Lugra.

He is snow-white with a small, light blue spot on his left front, painted by Lugra through mistake with a very lasting paint.

Glittermane gained the ability to talk when he was enchanted by head Librarian Lingvios of Libraria. He speaks with a highly sophisticated accent, enjoying conversations about tea sorts and academics. His favourite dish is cool rye stew, and his second favourite dish is strawberry bread. His relationship with Lugra is a mix of being entertained and tired of Lugra being a person constantly in a dream-mood. But all in all, he is content with life.

His ability to talk is regarded with either accept or deep unease. Some people accept that animals might be enchanted or not, and other people simply cannot fathom the idea of an animal altered by Magic, and therefore simply won't accept it.

A good example of this is seen among the Messenger's Five Couriers; Tenex would first ignore Glittermane, hoping that it would be a dream, then later accept it to a degree. Gabriel would place the prejudice on Lugra for the uncommonness. Ohre and Rhè would be totally neutral about it, with Rhè embracing Glittermane as a fellow creature, just like his own steed. And Lugra would be, well, Lugra.

History
Glittermane was born under Sethius in central Dinacia. As a fowl, he was sold to a nobleman who enjoyed spending his outside time with tea and litterature. Around Glittermane reaching adulthood, the nobleman lost his life and money during a raid by cultists of Searana. Glittermane survived the raid and was found by a merchant, who sold him on to a mount-dealer in a Crossroads settlement.

Some time later, the Five Couriers (at that time only four) came across. Lugra saw Glittermane and became infatuated of him by the instant. Thus, he accompanied the party to Libraria. This was where he developed his taste for strawberry bread, and also gained the ability to talk
