'''Horse''' mounts were the first type of mount introduced at [[Rumor Woods]] as part of a new [[Mount System|mount system]]. Mounts are summoned by a [[summoning item]], such as reins, which stores their information, but are considered a separate item. There were three tiers released: [[Horse mount#Common|common]], [[Horse mount#uncommon|uncommon]], and [[Horse mount#rare|rare]]. All horse mounts share a similar set up with their appearance.
'''Horse''' mounts were the first type of mount introduced at [[Rumor Woods]] as part of a new [[Mount System|mount system]] in 2019. Horses are summoned by reins, which are a [[summoning item]] that stores their information but is considered a separate item. There are three tiers of horse mounts: [[#Common|common]], [[#Uncommon|uncommon]], and [[#Rare|rare]]. Some uncommon horse nouns have restrictions on which races can ride them as a mount. All horse mounts share a similar set up with their appearance. As with other mounts, horses can be given a name visible to the owner with a [[Potion of Naming]], available at [[Evermore Hollow]]. Common horses can be unlocked to the uncommon tier via [[Uncommon Mount Foods]], expanding their verb messaging, ambient message, and available feature options. The [[Saddle Me Up saddle]] is a highly scripted saddle that can be used with a horse mount.

[[Unicorn mount]]s, while sold alongside horse mounts, are technically not classified as horses. See their article for more information about them.

Rare mounts are the highest tier available for purchase and offer additional verbs unavailable at common or uncommon tiers. Rare mounts are available during their initial run, and are normally discontinued in concurrent runs. For 2019, the rare horse mount was '''a fiery-eyed nightmare steed'''. Nightmare steeds were also sold at the 5th anniversary of Rumor Woods in 2023.

Nightmare steeds have unique appearance fields unavailable to other horse mounts:

===Special Ability===
As with all rare mounts, nightmare steeds have a special ability unique to them. Associated with one of their random ambient messages, a nightmare steed may drop '''a strand of silver horsehair''' onto the ground. The horsehair is a [[weavable item]].
<pre{{log2}}>A fiery-eyed nightmare steed rears back, her hooves glowing brightly for a moment before fading.
<pre{{log2}}>Several gnats swirl around a fiery-eyed nightmare steed which causes her to shake her head powerfully in an attempt to exterminate them. A strand of silver horsehair flutters to the ground.</pre>
An additional special ability was introduced in 2022 with the release of the rare [[unicorn mount]]s. Nightmare steeds also have a chance of giving their owner a nightmare while they are summoned. Receiving a nightmare causes the owner to briefly fall to the ground asleep. Upon waking, a physical item may be found in hand as a memento of the nightmare. This cannot happen while the owner is mounted. There are a wide variety of possible nightmares and mementos from them.

Rare mounts are only available during their initial run, and are discontinued in concurrent runs. 2022 featured two new rare mounts: '''a gold-horned immaculate white unicorn''' and '''a silver-horned raven-sheened black unicorn'''.
===Appearance===
====White Unicorn====
<pre{{log2}}>With a regal bearing, the unicorn observes the world through cerulean eyes, and dense white lashes frame her steady gaze. Her coat, from muzzle to rump, is immaculate white, with only a bit of pink found within the shell of her ears. The forelock, mane, tail, and fetlock feathers are a different story, having a subtle opalescence that reflects a pastel rainbow. Her hooves bear a glittering golden sheen within their natural keratinous formation, and her spiraled horn boasts a far more lustrous finish.</pre>
====Black Unicorn====
<pre{{log2}}>From muzzle to tail, the unicorn is an uncompromising shade of black with a blue-violet sheen resembling that found on a raven's wing. His eyes are onyx-hued, flecked with bits of silver so delicate they seem little more than curls of metallic leafing. His mane and tail are long and silky, and the tufts on his fetlocks bear the same lustrous coloring common to corvids. A subtle shimmer of silver glints in the natural keratinous formation of his hooves, and his horn is a matte-finished argent spiral.</pre>

You share a moment of quiet reflection before you both turn away and you murmur something about a rematch.

A gold-horned immaculate white unicorn glances invitingly around the area, turning her head side to side as though in search of something. With a subtle snort, the unicorn whinnies and turns around, beginning another search on the opposite side.

Noticing an ebon-laced orange monarch butterfly, a gold-horned immaculate white unicorn begins to curiously follow the bug around the area. The unicorn stays within reach for a long moment before the orange monarch butterfly twists around and flutters down to rest upon the unicorn's gold spiral horn.

Feeding a mount is not mandatory, but it is a fun roleplaying option. Mounts will not eat anything that is not part of the basic food system OR a foraged item, but they all trap on specific nouns. Below is a list of those nouns for each mount subtype in the equine category.

Latest revision as of 07:54, 10 September 2025

Horse mounts were the first type of mount introduced at Rumor Woods as part of a new mount system in 2019. Horses are summoned by reins, which are a summoning item that stores their information but is considered a separate item. There are three tiers of horse mounts: common, uncommon, and rare. Some uncommon horse nouns have restrictions on which races can ride them as a mount. All horse mounts share a similar set up with their appearance. As with other mounts, horses can be given a name visible to the owner with a Potion of Naming, available at Evermore Hollow. Common horses can be unlocked to the uncommon tier via Uncommon Mount Foods, expanding their verb messaging, ambient message, and available feature options. The Saddle Me Up saddle is a highly scripted saddle that can be used with a horse mount.

Unicorn mounts, while sold alongside horse mounts, are technically not classified as horses. See their article for more information about them.

Appearance

He/she stands just 16 hands at the withers. He has a well-muscled body with a healthy dun coat. He has a square face, a short forelock, and pointed ears. He has a long mane that flows loose down his neck and a full black tail.

Common

Common mounts are the least expensive option when considering purchase. They are restricted to being just "horse", and are limited in alteration options that may be allowed through the Ostler.

Rare

Rare mounts are the highest tier available for purchase and offer additional verbs unavailable at common or uncommon tiers. Rare mounts are available during their initial run, and are normally discontinued in concurrent runs. For 2019, the rare horse mount was a fiery-eyed nightmare steed. Nightmare steeds were also sold at the 5th anniversary of Rumor Woods in 2023.

Nightmare steeds have unique appearance fields unavailable to other horse mounts: 

He stands just over 18 hands at the withers. He has a muscular body with a sleek ebony coat. He has a gaunt face, a black-streaked forelock, and perky ears. He has a wild mane woven of moonlight-silver and a long flowing tail.

Special Ability

As with all rare mounts, nightmare steeds have a special ability unique to them. Associated with one of their random ambient messages, a nightmare steed may drop a strand of silver horsehair onto the ground. The horsehair is a weavable item. 

Several gnats swirl around a fiery-eyed nightmare steed which causes her to shake her head powerfully in an attempt to exterminate them.  A strand of silver horsehair flutters to the ground.

An additional special ability was introduced in 2022 with the release of the rare unicorn mounts. Nightmare steeds also have a chance of giving their owner a nightmare while they are summoned. Receiving a nightmare causes the owner to briefly fall to the ground asleep. Upon waking, a physical item may be found in hand as a memento of the nightmare. This cannot happen while the owner is mounted. There are a wide variety of possible nightmares and mementos from them.
