Baron on Aralez
About
The majestic aralez live out on the plains in small family groups. Often mistaken by the ignorant for chimerae, these large dog-like beasts are well-known for their unique ability to heal minor wounds by touch.
Many adventurers, lost and exhausted in the wilderness, tell of an aralez coming to them in their dreams and afterward waking fully refreshed, their scrapes and bruises healed.
Aralez can be fiercely loyal, and the champions of the League are sent by the dukes to claim them as their companions in a ritual known as Binding.
Man and beast hunt and live together for seven days, and after this time, if a bond is formed, the aralez will serve at the champion’s side as their faithful steed as part of the Honour Guard until the death of one of the partners.
The oldest, wisest, and most powerful of the aralez watch over their packs as guardians and will only form a bond with those who wield similar power and responsibility.
An aralez whose champion has died returns mournfully to the plains and lives out the remainder of its life in solitude, never seeking companionship from any other species ever again.
