Vengeance is Elhokar’s stallion, a fine animal of the best Shin stock, though he cannot rival Dalinar’s Gallant. During the hunt, a broken saddle girth leaves the mount at the center of an uncomfortable mishap. The horse remains a small but memorable presence in the royal party.
Description
Vengeance is a well-bred stallion, described as being of the best Shin stock. The text gives no reliable detail about his coat color, markings, height, or other distinctive physical traits, so these should be left unspecified. He is used as a riding mount and appears with a saddle and girth. His quality is evident in the comparison to other horses, even if he does not match Gallant.
