this unmatched bond between a Raptor and its rider is an unexpected result of the Biomantic process that created the W’adrhŭn. A small portion of the population is capable of speaking with beasts. While males commonly bond with herbivores, it is female W’adrhŭn who most often bond with carnivores. Raptors are quite possibly the ultimate light cavalry upon Eä, the bond between the rider and its mount turning them into a single unit whose speed is matched only by their ferocity.
