Bonding Requirements
The sleipnir are a race of powerful eight-legged horses said to be kept as personal stock by the god Odin. They do not occur in the world naturally and must be summoned by those with some pull with Odin.
Requires a large sum of theology and a moderate amount of law, tracking, rune lore, legend lore, diplomacy, mortuary, strategy, and tactics skill to be bonded to.
Zetasai have no theology access so be prepared to join Agnihotri, Haruspex, Questors of Tyr, or some other theology access granting association.
One was bonded to with 138 theology, 30 law, 20 tracking, 17 rune lore, 17 legend lore, 20 diplomacy, 12 mortuary, 14 strategy, and 17 tactics.
If you can find someone with phylacteries of theosophy, they'll each give 20 bonus theology when worn/held.
Known Abilities
The sleipnir is a very quick steed, has a small amount of night vision, and can fly if equipped with horseshoes of flight. Only four horseshoes are required to impart flight to the creature, but up to eight can be equipped to provide redundancy.
