Giant Steeds

Customs

In the Kingdom all tech and information around tech is tightly controlled and monitored by The Society of the Bond. Tech is generally seen as something undesirable, something that unbalances the natural order. The religion encourages the use of tech only when there is no alternative. Vehicles which also often pollute and use up a lot of precious and scarce energy are generally discouraged and rare. The most common means of transport is on the back of giant steeds.

These are the descendants of colossal creatures genetically engineered by an ancient culture that destroyed itself and about which little is known beyond speculation and rumour. While genetic engineering is now only permitted by the Society in the rarest of cases they do allow the riding and breeding of creatures whose ancestors were genetically engineered.  On the icy Tundra the Houses of the north ride Giant Wooly Rhino, in the desert baronies they ride giant serpents and, in the lands covered in forests, there are warriors on giant hounds. The Houses are proud of their steeds, they are part of their identity, and prized possessions.
