Description
"When darkness falls and Halloween approaches, the veil between worlds grows thin, allowing spirits to travel to other planes. Alvirah comes from a dark place, yet she carries light. She is familiar with the ways of the witch, yet she is no witch’s familiar. She is independent, yet she longs for a human companion to share her journey. Will your eye be that which beholds her beauty? Alvirah’s alternative look is a Tennessee Walker, and she possesses the smooth gaits of the breed no matter how she presents."
Unique Features
Color Changing
The Alvirah is a magical horse with the special ability to change colors. When the player presses the "h" key or the magic horse icon on the horse's character sheet, the horse will change from its neutral colors to its natural (magic) colors and vice versa. The horse will not change colors during races or while the player is unmounted.
The Running Walk
Note: The horse must reach level 7 to perform this gait.
While most breeds in SSO only have five gaits, the Alvirah has six. This special gait is called the "Running Walk". In SSO no other horse breed is able to perform the Running Walk. To perform the Running Walk, the horse must be walking. The player then must hold down the 'Shift' key and then simultaneously hit either the up arrow or the 'W'. The Alvirah will then begin to perform a Running Walk. During the Running Walk, the horse cannot move to a faster gait or jump. To stop performing the Running Walk, simply slow your horse down like you would with any other.
Colors, Pricing, and Location
The Alvirah is sold for 950 SC. and can be purchased during Halloween in the Galloper's Keep. It comes in one variation.
