A world of magical horses
The lore can be fluid, as imaginative play often is, but these are the basics:
- Their natural form is that of horses
- They may take on human forms for practical purposes (crafting, building) but, to most of them, their horse form is the most fulfilling. The human tasks are in service of their equine life
- Their human forms may wear clothes. Their human designs wear them for characterisation, but they don't see human nudity as shameful. They're just more fun to draw
- They live in herds. Each has a distinct social structure, traditions, and material culture. Family ties do not necessarily correspond to herd affiliations
- In horse form, horses don't communicate in words, but via a form of telepathy that allows them to share images and ideas with each other. This doesn't prevent misunderstandings.
- Some horses may prefer to communicate mentally in their human forms too, while others enjoy speaking out loud once in a while
