an antelope found
most often on the open plains and steppes, and less often in the forests
and foothills. the frequency of rare reflects the sagias amazing
swiftness and ability to absent themselves from the presence of unwanted
observers, rather than lack of numbers. this reticence should not be
taken as
timidity but as a mark of their intelligence, a faculty nurtured by
the careful and un intrusive husbandry of the plains halflings.
if pursued too ardently or unable to flee, the sagia will defend themselves
fearlessly. however the truly dangerous sagia are those trained for
war. with agility, speed, and intelligence un equaled by any horse,
when combined with the skills of their
dimunitive riders the result is fearsome indeed. these attributes and
the capcitey of reaching a land speed of 60 mph have given rise to many
rumors, some of an almost legendary aspect. ranging from the sagia being
raised on and fed a grain meal mixed with the blood of the halflings
enemies to increase their ferocity in combat to their being spirits
summond by halfling shammans and clothed in flesh, ( dms please have
fun making up your own, the more the merrier!) the majority of these
rumors are idel speculation at best and utter hogwash at worst. the
only thing known for certain is that the halfling will not a sagia at
any price, under any circumstance.
