Pegasai
	 
	''Appearance''
	 
	Pegasai are a legendary specie of winged-horses. They resembles otherwise
	a slender horse but they have two long feathered wings. Pegasai are about
	same size as normal (täysiveriset) horses. Color of the hide is always whi
	te or little bluish. (Sakakorkeus) is about 160cm and weight 95kg. This is
	because Body of Pegasai is magically enchanted so that it weights much mo
	re less than it should. Pegasai have long slender neck which ends in a nob
	le head. Chest is deep and wide and (harja) and tail are long. Pegasai are
	not only strong and durable fliers but they are also good runners.
	 
	Wing is usually about 170 cm long and structure is quite same as in a bird
	wing: Wings are attached to wingbones which resemble human hand. Flyinacre
	age consist of numerous (limittaiset) arm- and forearm feathers, which are
	connected to wingbones, and of shoulderfeathers which are attached to hume
	rus. Wing is more convex above which allows forthcoming air stream raise
	flyer upwards and makes gliding easier. In actual fly it is important that
	when wing strikes downwards feathers bend to dense surface but when wing
	strikes up they turn so that air flows interlocked through them.      
	
	 
	Eventhough their wings may seem to be large enough, they are actually too
	small to carry their weight. However, it is said that flying ability of pe
	gasai is not solely based on wings but magic. Some mountain races use pega
	sai as a mount but this is rare because they do not tame easily and they
	tend to escape when they got a chance, besides they can't carry much weight
	while flying - only 70kg or so.
	 
	''History''
	 
	Pegasai are ancient creatures whose origins lie in the time of the first
	races. They are somewhat magical creatures and old writings claim that pe
	gasai were orginally born when the divine magic of air was mixed with the
	spells of an ancient race and their pet mounts.
	 
	''Philosophies''                                         
	Pegasai are very freedom loving creatures and they do not tame easily. Pe
	gasai usually try to avoid all other races except rare mountain races and
	elven races which may, in rare occassions, use them as a mounts.
	 
	Pegasai tend to shun other creatures and usually they can't be seen. They
	don't go to narrow or otherwise closed places where they can't move freely
	or escape. If a pegasai (ahdistettu) in a such place it will try to break
	out through obstacles and even fight but when it gets change to escape, it
	will do so.
	 
	Because they are creation of an ancient race and were also their pets, the
	re are some ancient spells and items which posses power to call a pegasai.
	If one posseses these spells pegasai might serve him/her as a mount. (Note
	Sages might have these spells since it is suggested that they are remnants
	of ancient races, however, not all of them should have these spells)       
	
	''Society''
	 
	Pegasai live in a mountain areas and other high places where they use moun
	tain plants as their foodsource. Pegasai are rare creatures but they usual
	ly live in a small packs of 5 to 10, searching safety and power from the
	group.
	 
	Pegasai can mate with eachother when offspring will be pegasai. They can
	also mate with normal horse animals but offsprings will be normal animals
	though those offsprins tend to be (valioyksiloita). Even if pegasai mate
	with eachother there is only small chance that offspring will born and
	chance is even lower if they mate with other horse animals.
	 
	Pegasai are not immortal but they have very long live span: from about 300
	to 400 hundred years. Their immunitu to diseases and poisons and their ex
	ceptional regeneration ability usually grants them a long healthy life.     
	
	''Quick role-playing tips''
	 
	Pegasai are extremely difficult to find and even if found they usually es
	cape. They do not go to narrow or tigth places but if cornered they will
	fight but only as long as neccesary. Pegasai will respond to some ancient
	calling spells which sages and mortals may posses but they can't be usual
	ly tamed. Exceptions are few mountain races who live near pegasai and el
	ves. They can carry only 70kg extra weight.
