Mount Description

The Blackroot Steed is one of the original Midsummer Festival mounts, which took their names from different regions of Gondor. These horses/ponies are in full ceremonial regalia.

For the standalone mount, this one is a mid-brown and white pinto/paint horse with a simple harness. It has some plates down its nose and the back of the neck. The caparison, flag and saddle all sport colours to represent the Blackroot Vale - white and black.

Example Dyes

Only the Caparison dyes in these "regional" war-steeds. Arguably, no item should be dyable, given they are the crests that represent those regions! Anyhow, here are a couple of dye examples:
