Pegasus
The Pegasus (plural Pegasi) is an Elder subrace of the Kuranta.
Overview
Pegasi have the traits of the eponymous winged horse in Greek mythology. Contrary to the imagination, they do not possess avian features, instead having naturally golden or white hair. Legend says that they have "golden blood" likely manifested from their proficiency in luminal Arts.[1]
The Pegasi are a famous Elder race of the Kuranta who were the former ruling dynasty of Kazimierz. Through their charisma and leadership, the Pegasian dynasty was solidified after seeking support from the Kuranta knight orders and managed to occupy the fertile grasslands of Kazimierz at the dawn of human civilization. However, during the 12th Terran year, the hordes of the Nightzmoras reached Kazimierz, and the Pegasi suffered a humiliating defeat that forced them into a peace negotiation. The knight orders who refused the negotiation openly denounced their legitimacy, and a year later, the Pegasi were ultimately toppled by the Kazimierzian knight orders.[2]
In the modern era, the Pegasi remain prominent in Kazimierz’s politics despite losing their royalty. The Adeptus Sprawiedliwi Kazimierz and the Silverlance Pegasi are all led by Pegasi who upholds the traditionalist viewpoint of chivalry that remains uncorrupted by the country’s rampant capitalism. Several knight families like House Nearl are either fully made up of pure-blooded Pegasi or Kuranta having Pegasian lineage.
