 The Horse appears to have an uncanny ability to Hate the various dangers Karigan encounters, always delivering Karigan to safety.During the journey, she meets many people, including the Berry sisters, members of the mystical, elf-like race of Eletians, and two traitorous Weapons (a special rank given only to the bodyguards of the king).Throughout her journey, the ghost of F'ryan Coblebay follows her, urging her on and providing help when desperately needed.
