» See Marrgerd for Salsola’s communal horses and livestock

Grimrun is a horse stable and reconstructed farm built for the sole purpose of furthering Salsola's breeding program. The animals who make up this populous are pack animals, but not all are trained to work – many exist for the singular purpose of furthering Salsola's already thriving herd.

The barn itself is fashioned much in the style of Salsola's previous project, Marrgerd, though a larger emphasis was placed on pasture placement and agricultural growth.

Horses are turned out in the pastures during the day, though are brought in overnight. Stallions, pregnant or nursing mares, or animals with medical issues are restricted to the corrals.

The horses kept in Marrgerd are owned by the pack, and Salsola's most valuable possessions. Members are permitted to use them for personal use, though because of their unique and identifiable looks, most of these horses are obviously “Salsolan” by design. Their worth is impressed upon those who do handle the animals.

1.  Pauson Horse

» See Salsola's Pauson page for further information on the horse and its breeding program.

Black Silver Pauson Bay Silver Pauson Grey Silver Pauson Palomino Silver Pauson

The Pauson Horse breeding program is several-year ongoing project that began in 2012 and was spearheaded by Salsolan Boss Salvia Eternity to develop a distinctive, hardy northern breed. In the years since its conception, the Pauson horse has become Salsola’s unique creation. Noted for their characteristic pale mane and tails, dappled coats, weight-bearing capability and sturdy footing, these valuable animals are the pride of the Thistle Kingdom.

More here on basic summary of what the Pauson horse is and used for, their history. They're kept in Salsola's Grimrun Stable. ICly how info is kept (in a ledger? who is the bookkeeper? how is passed on? is it a safely guarded secret?). If possible, how characters can get a Pauson. Does SL offer stud services of their horses? Etc. Etc. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
