Cormyrean Destrier

The Cormyrean Destrier is perhaps the finest warhorse in all of Faerûn. The breed is relatively new; King Azoun I ordered and supervised their breeding sometime around 400 DR from Nar and Thaurr stock. Although it is now encountered throughout western and northern Faerûn, the best Cormyrean destriers are still found on the ranches outside Arabel and Waymoot. Cormyreans are the most commonly depicted warhorse among castle and palace walls across much of Faerûn. Outside of Cormyr, the Cormyrean destrier can also be found as a workhorse pulling beer wagons and heavy plows. A mature stallion stands 17 hands (5 feet 8 inches) high at the withers and can weigh up to 2,200 pounds. It has wide-set, expressive eyes and a noticeably convex nose. It is often bay, brown, black, or gray, and costs more than 1 gp per pound, averaging 2,600 gp (a normal warhorse costs 680 gp).
