Origins:

 

The origin of the Tuvian Purasangre breed can be traced back to a significant event in the history of the Kervallen Family. Legend has it that the first patriarch of the family, Edvard Kervallen, was bestowed with a remarkable horse named Windfola by the Elven Princeps Minuvas Melphestaus of the Orenian Empire. Windfola was not an ordinary horse, but a magnificent steed of elven breed that was unmatched in elegance, manners, speed, and agility.

The gift of Windfola proved to be a momentous occasion, as it set the stage for the creation of the Tuvian Purasangre breed. Windfola was bred with a white and wild mare that was tamed in the warm deserts near Balian, resulting in the birth of the first Tuvian Purasangre foal. The breed quickly gained popularity due to its unique combination of the elven breed's grace and the desert mare's hardiness and resilience.

 

Today, the Tuvian Purasangre breed is renowned for its speed, agility, and beauty. It owes its origins to the benevolent gift of the Elven Princeps and the astute breeding practices of the Kervallen Family. The Tuvian Purasangre is a testament to the power of collaboration between different cultures and the beauty that can arise from it.

Sir Ephrem Kervallen, Baron of Tuvia

 

[Shmeepicus 3942]

Alexander I nodded approvingly, sending a letter to the Baron of Tuvia himself. "Lord Kervallen, I wish to be the first within the realms of Almaris to own this fine breed of horse, this Tuvian Purasangre- it would honour me greatly. Let us hope that this encourages others to name their own breed of horse- and perhaps foster the creation of horse lore."
