Hex Crawl 23 #186: Gazelles of the Dhuga

Three hexes north and four northwest of Alakran.

 

This is a marker for encounters with the abundant gazelles of the Dhuga.

The most delicate breed of antelope in domestication, gazelles are kept mostly as park and pet animals. Their usual coat is fawn-colored with a white belly, although different-colored breeds have been created for various nobles and vassal kings. Horns are backward curved, spreading away from the head. When gazelles are hitched to carts the weights are light, except for the famous Black Gazelles of Gilded Horn, bred large (and some say, hybridized with sable) to draw the eponymous Wahatti hunting company's chariots. Their family groups are small and they appear in herds of 2d6 individuals, of which there are 20 or so within their range.
