#1 The Sava, owner: *Chrysanthi
herbivore
Name: to be decided
Gender: to be decided
Average Height: 135cm
Lifespan: normal, mortal
Build: pony like, comparable to Dales pony, very thick and messy mane & tail
Breed characteristics:

The Sava are a very family and friend loyal breed, which live together in smaller clans. Every clan or tribe has their very own symbol which is painted somewhere on the body of the little horse. They may be not the biggest out there but their intelligence and cockiness balances this fact. Although they are more likely to stay in the background, they love to joke around with others and play pranks on other creatures. Actually they are quite adventurous and seem to live under the motto: no risk, no fun!

Nobody knows how they got there but they are most likely to be found on the isle Kasia. There they are quite undisturbed in their living and a free to live the way to want to live.

The most troublesome about those little guys is their curiosity and the need to literary live on the edge. Sometimes when they are pranking around with some quite dangerous creatures it may take a bad end, since the Sava are likely to overestimate their powers. This incidents can cause big mourns among the clans, since every member is loved until death and beyond.

Since they live in tribes, they also created some quite interesting rituals in which they don't only connect to the spirits world but also get in flush like circumstances. They are often found to celebrate something and actually just live their life as much as possible.
After all they'll always stick to their optimistic way of seeing things.

Colours: earthy tones such as olive, brown and beige. Their mane is just slightly darker or lighter than their actual body color. They often show some slight pangare or mealy markings. Typical for this breed are their 'rimed scale markings' which can cover their neck, belly, back and bum.

Breed origin in Lambadria:
Rumeysias, Dilmaren, Cinnae, Risdor & Meshtias. Mostly found in the plains and moors, at times also in lower mountain areas

#2 The Nesteache, owner: ~pegasus4422662
herbivore
Name: to be decided
Gender: to be decided
Average Height: 150cm
Lifespan: normal, mortal
Build: light, comparable to arabian horses, thin and short to semi-long mane, long tail
Breed characteristics:

The Nesteache is a very spiritual breed. They are actually mages and cultivate a strong connection to the Lambadrian spirits. Due to that they are quite experimental and found ways to stay alive easier and to protect themselves of the darkness and evil spirits. However they live in some kind of pantheism, not adoring one single spirit or god but believing that everyone of them has a special role in their world. In their culture every spirit is represented by one color. If this colors appear in the coloring of the iris in some members of the breed, it's said that they have a very strong connection to this one spirit. Due to that foals that are born with black eyes are feared because they represent the dark spirit Mingol, while foals with white eyes are admired since it's the light spirit, Ephastria's color. However this two are extremely rare

Based on the eye color, they paint different signs on their bodies to strengthen the connection. However you have to earn some of those markings, so the more of this paintings exist on them, the wiser is the horse and the stronger their abilities.

The Nesteache are some kind of nomads, travelling alongside the big river which is their water resource. At times this river is caring just a small amount of water or even none. They are able to deal with high temperatures, have a great stamina and don't need much water to survive.

it's also said that there lies a curse upon them, but no one who doesn't belong to the Nesteache knows what it is exactly.

Colours: nearly every normal horse color appears on them. If they show paint markings they will most likely look a bit like petals, like this one here shows.
Breed origin in Lambadria:
Yseis & Isle Esiras. They live in very dry, desert like areas of Lambadria

#3 The Marvala, owner: *abosz007
herbivore
Name: to be decided
Gender: to be decided
Average Height: 158cm
Lifespan: normal, mortal
Build: mustang like build, thick & messy mane & tail which is often quite long.
Breed characteristics:

The Marvala are the moor horses of Lambadria. They know how to deal with the swampy conditions and know exactly about their own steps. They can tell by the look of mud if you'd get stuck in it or not. Also, they are great at track reading. Marvala live in big camps, together with their family members and often also together with other breeds such as the Leris. Though they are not the strongest nor the most powerful breed of Lambadria, their knowledge about the nature and especially the moors makes them superior survivors.

Their colors make them nearly invisible in the red-brownish swamp landscape and they are intent to nearly move without a sound. Though they are often hunted by bigger predators, their ability to make themselves 'invisible' is making it hard to even find them. It's more likely that they've already spotted you before you even know they are around.
Some braver ones of this breed use this knowledge to confuse their enemies and disorient them. Due to the high grass in the moors it's easy to get lost there... but a Marvala would never be one of those.

Older ones of the breed are often telling stories about the 'old-times' and the spirits of Lambadria, but most of the Marvala doubt this believe.
oh and before I forget, you could describe them as some sort of gypsies in the way they are living. They also, do trade a lot and are great merchants. There are often beads and feathers found in their manes and tails ( if you want to you can add them to this one as well)
Colours: everything that ranges between light beige, to bay/chestnut to really dark brown. The shades do vary a lot here. There are usually stripes found on their bodies, wether they are black,brown or white. Also typical markings for this bread are the 'hawk-marking' at their eyes and also the 'dirt-ruff'
Breed origin in Lambadria:
Cinnae, Rumeysias, Dilmaren, Risdor & Meshtias. Everywhere where you can find moors or plains.

#4 The Israi, pl. Israia, owner: =saphiraly
herbivore
Name: to be decided
Gender: to be decided
Average Height: 165cm
Lifespan: up to 140 years, mortal
Build: light to warmblood build, comparable to American Saddlebreds
Breed characteristics:

The Israia are told to be the opposite of the Navesta, being creatures of light. They have a true believe in the spirit of light, Ephastria, and fulfill the duty that was given to them: spreading Ephastrias light around world.
The story tells, that Ephastria was chased off by his dark brother Mingol, but gave a part of his light to some chosen creatures to not let the darkness take overhand of Lambadria. The Israia are sure that those old legends are nothing but the truth ans so they belive that they'll always be protected by their god Ephastria.

The Israia live in smaller herds or groups, consisting of family members and friends, up in the mountains of Lambadria, under the leadership of one leading family. Their bones are very light, comparable to birds, so they don't have any trouble when it's about soaring in the air. They stay in those mountains nearly the whole year, until the winter months arrive and drench Lambadria in darkness. In order to survive, they have to travel down to the forests since the mountains could cause them to freeze to death.

The Israia hate the darkness to any means and try everything to avoid it. They are able to create a bright blue light with help of their feathers, that surrounds them if desired and protects them from dark creatures. However in dark winter the Israias powers fade, making them not only unable to fly but also weakens their 'soul light'. Under this circumstances they often turn into prey during the winter times and a lot of the breed members don't make it through this time of the year.

In warm summer nights, when they are back in their mountains, their lights can be seen from miles away, drenching the mountains in their blue light.

Colours: mealy or creamy colors. their base colors have very low saturation and it always looks like they'd carry a cream gene. However black and white is possible as well. They show no paint markings. Normal horse markings like socks or blazes exist. Unnatural colors appear only on the head e.g. as a blaze (like the one above)
Breed origin in Lambadria:
Rumeysias, Dilmaren and Kayreck range. In mountains and in forests only.

#5 The Qui'srama, owner: *MoonyArsaraidh
herbivore
Name: to be decided
Gender: to be decided
Average Height: 170cm (determined by the front legs)
Lifespan: up to 500 years, mortal
Build: as much as it is comparable a usual warmblood build
Breed characteristics:

The Qui'srama are one of the two equine breeds that live in the oceans of Lambadria. It's said that this breed is very kind, gentle and loving nature. They wouldn't harm anyone or anything for any needs. Qui'srama are actually more calm than energetic and just live in the day, only enjoying the themselves. They are found at the warm water shores of Lambadria and are mostly avoiding the deep water areas. This is not only because they love the warm water at the shores but also because they actually dislike the darkness of the depp just as the creatures that may lurk there. When the Qui'srama feel really safe and sound they are sometimes leaving the water and are found at the beach, enjoying the warm sunlight.

Their very strong and muscular body makes it possible for them to move on land as well, though they are not really agile there, as you can imagine. You could compare them somehow to seals.

However underneath their front leg flins are hooves hidden, which you actually never see. Although they could use them for moving on land, they are more likely crawling on their knees since it's more comfortable and less exhausting.
The Qui'sramas body is covered with scales which sparkle when they are hidden by sunlight. This fact makes it easy to tell where they are in the water since you can see the sparkle shining through the water surface. This breed lives together in small groups but are also often found strolling around on their own. Living in under water caves they are mostly safe from predators. Though they are quite shy, they are incredibly curious. And are intrested in the world outboard the oceans. Actually there are legends of Qui'srama that managed to live on land with the help of some magic that turned their tail fin into legs. Another legend says, that the big patchy markings on their body are the landscapes of foreign worlds..

by the way they have both: lungs & gills

Colours: all colours of the rainbow combined with big patchy markings in a slihtly lighter color than their base or adjustement color. Their fins and flukes are often lighter or darker or dipped in a similar color (e.g. red body, orange fins)
Breed origin in Lambadria:
nearly all sand and gravel shores of Lambadria. Mostly found in Dilmare, Yiseis, Esiras & Meshtias
____________________________

#6 The Leris, owner: ~wildheartlila
herbivore
Name: to be decided
Gender: stallion
Average Height: 180cm
Lifespan: normal, mortal
Build: very bulky and muscular, almost resembling a bull
Breed characteristics:

The Leris are the biggest equine breed residents of the lambadrian plains. There they live together in huge herds and are often acompanied by Marvala or Sava since the Leris offer a big amount of protection. Especially the male ones are very strong and actually quite dangerous. The Leris makes a hard prey for predators and if hunts go wrong, the predators death is not uncommon. Towards other herbivores the Leris are kind and gentle, but they won't hesitate to chase troublemakers off. The females are more likely to be the perfect family members while the males, especially the older ones accept little to no nonsense.
The motto of the Leris is the more the merrier. They believe that the mass of a big group or herd are the best protectioon that you can offer. They are moving in this huge groups around the plains always on the search for new food resources and rarely touch the edges of the forests or the swampy areas.

However the Leris may be big and powerful, they are actually not the brightest fellows of the breeds of Lambadria. Anyway some of them turned out to be great strategists which helped the breed to always stay strong and very dominant in the plains.
by the way: Females are less muscular and don't carry horns, also they are more likely to grow a long mane and fetlock.

Colours: Brown, and more likely dark colours combined with striped on the neck and shoulders. Actually they just vary in shades
Breed origin in Lambadria:
Rumeysias, Meshtias, Cinnae, Dilmaren & Risdor. Plains mostly

#7 The Kashia, owner: *Vasination
carnivore
Name: to be decided
Gender: to be decided
Average Height: 183cm (determined by the front legs)
Lifespan: up to 700 years, mortal
Build: lean and wiry
Breed characteristics:

The Kashia lurk in the deeps of the lambadrian oceans and prefer, compared to the Qui'srama, cold a dark waters. They are most violent and cruel creatures what is also told by their looks. They are blind, having hollow eyes. They mostly orientate with the help of echoes, comparable to bats. Also their sent is very sharp so they can make out single smells from far away. Mostly they are controlled by their instics, especially by the desire for food. When they once got into an eating rush they hardly get out of it.

Their Echo voices stay mostly unheard for others but at times you can make them out, sounding like shrill screams. When they communicate with their breed members they use sound levels that are too deep or too high to be heard by others, which makes them appear really silent. However if they really want to they can communicate on normal levels as well, but since their voices are not used to that they often sound exhausted, or really rough.

Their skin is very rough, covered with fish like scales. However they don't have a soft and flowing body like the Qui'srama but a very hard one. Getting stroke by their fins could feel like being wiped out. Also they don't really have hooves but some sharp claws that only resembles them.

They avoid the light surface of the oceans and mostly stay in deep waters, but when winter arises they are also swimming around in places where they are usually not found. Especially then they are feared for their cruelnes. It's said they are the Navesta of the sea and yes when they once found you then there's probably no wway for you to save yourself... your fate would be sealed.

Colours:shades of grey combined with red splatters or red fin tips
Breed origin in Lambadria:
all deep seas of Lambadria, including cliff borders e.g in Minastra.

#8 The Krushka, owner: ~Aecrimony
omnivore
Name: to be decided
Gender: stallion
Average Height: 185cm
Lifespan: up to 100 years, mortal
Build: muscular and strong. perfect warrior build
Breed characteristics:

The Krushka is the one breed that is admired for their fierce warriors. They often offer protection for other breeds in need. However they actually stay neutral towards others. They may have a slightly dislike for the Navesta due to past conflicts but they will always listen to their arguements before they make any desicisions. They are a very dutiful breed and live in a big monarchy. Every Krushka 'clan' has their own leader. Those leaders are surprinsingly nearly always females, since they showed great leadershipd in the past.

In Lambadria there are 3 big clans that mostly reign over smaller clans. Those big clans build up huge underground constructions, which resemble catacombs and are big enough to have enough space for every single member of the clan. There their young grow up and nearly their whole life is setted there. If you do not belong to the clan, then it's very hard for you to catch a glimpse of the inside. Whatever it's told that they build up whole palasts down there which are nearly big enough to be called 'underground cities'.

Up here we have a classical young male. Horned, with dark,scaled skin and a typical muscular build. Well the females do actually look completely different. Their skin is very light, nearly white with just a small tint of brown, green or blue, and they have very long and beautiful black manes. It's said their beauty is eye catching. However you rarely ever see one of the females outside the catacombs. They do exist, but they are the breeds biggest treasure and said to be 'more worth' than the males. Although they are kept in the underground, they are known to be great fighters in the big battles of the past, when they were fighting side by side with their males.

All in all you can say that this breed has one of the longest history in Lambadria. It's said that their saurian look was caused because they are offsprings of dragons. For the Krushka the dragons are the most admirable creatures in this world. They are aware of the other spirits for sure, but they actually don't really care about them.

Colours:all shades of blue, green and brown, resembeling the skin of reptiles.
Breed origin in Lambadria:
Since they live in the underground, everywhere expect of the cold Priasol and Jalor. Their catacomb entrance are nearly not findable.

#9 The Navest, pl. Navesta/ formerly known as Obscure-Demons, owner: *xRedLily
carnivore
Name: to be decided
Gender: stallion
Average Height: 195cm
Lifespan: immortal due to their 'godly spark'
Build: depending on the bloodline, baroque to light draft build, comparable to Iberian breeds and Friesian horses.
Breed characteristics:

Breed-Sheet-Time! [link]

The Navesta ,or Obscure Demons as they are called in our world, are told to be the direct offsprings of the dark spirit Mingol. The legend says that Mingol gave his breath to the dead bodies of Marvala to create a strong breed that is,in his eyes, perfect. The Marvala grew taller, more elegant, and became perfect predators with the aim to help Mingol reigning Lambadria and chase off the ligt forever. However it's said that there are also members of the Navest breed that were not born out of dead Marvala but carry the true blood of Mingol in their veins. Those direct creations are considered 'half-spirits' Having a strong connection to other spirits and have nearly the same abilities as them. Compared to their fellow Navesta, they grow even taller, have a darker appereance, two red eyes and golden Navest markings instead of black ones. However there is just a small amount of this half-spirits known.

Though they are created under the breath of Mingol, nowadays they don't believe in those stories anymore, well most of the Navest. There are a few out there that still try to fulfill Mingol's duty and try to spread the believe in the spirits.

Navest are one of the most feared breed out there since they belong to the 'dark creatures', being nocturnal most of the time and fierce killing machines, especially in winter.
Sunlight doesn't hurt them at all, however they are vulnerable to so called 'soul light' which can be produced by creatures of the light like for example the Israia. This light blinds them for a short time and causes their eyes to bleed, causing them incredible pain.
Though males are taller and actually stronger than the females, everyone knows that you shouldn't joke around with a pregnant Navest mare. In this time they turn into true eating machines and are sometimes trapped in their rushes so they literally go insane. Especially when they are close to giving birth you should avoid contact to them as long as you are not strong enough to handle their bursts.

Colours:take a look at the breed sheet
Breed origin in Lambadria:
Minastra, Rumeysias, Dilmaren, Cinnae, Risdor & Meshtias. In winter they sometimes enter Jalor, Priasol and the isles as well. They are mostly found in the forests and more chilly areas.

#10 The Prenosa, owner: *Dark-Mare910
herbivore
Name: to be decided
Gender: stallion
Average Height: 240cm
Lifespan: up to 80 years, mortal
Build: Draft build, comparable to Shire horses

The Prenosa are the gentle giants of the very north and very south. If you really want to meet one of them you have to travel to the coldest areas of Lambadria, where they live nearly completely separated from others in their own little family herds. They are very caring and loyal towards their family and friends and prefer talking instead of fighting.
Nobody does exactly know how they survive under the harsh conditions in the cold areas. Finding food there can be a challenge but still the Prenosa don't shrink in size.

Not only their thick and soft fur, mane and tail protect them from the freezing temperatures, but they are also able to control their own body temperature. To save their energy to more important things, they can lower their temperatures down to only 5°C without carrying any damage from it. Those giants are true survivalists compared to others.

Not only their isolated home protects them from predators, but also their giant height makes it hard to even get the chance to consider them as a prey. However in winter time some groups of Navest try to enter the cold places and go on Prenosa hunts. The risk of getting injured in such tries is just as big as the risk of freezing to death. Most of the time the Prenosa is the one that stays unharmed after such conflicts.

During some really harsh winters, the Prenosa get snowed in. That's when they wait until the snow starts melting again and for this time period they are on a strict diet, eating little to nothing. However their mass makes it possible to survive this time. They may be a bit hungry afterwards, but that's actually the worst that could happen.

Colours: Actually all horse colors possible. However expect of their typical 'frostbite' markings there are no markings on their bodies.
Breed origin in Lambadria:
Jalor, Priasol & Claw isle

It just seems like we tried to repress the thought of being others prey again, to feel fear again. The most of us don't even realize that we have to leave our homes, the mountains, if we don't want to perish by cold. We loose many of our herd members on our way to the valleys e
