Equites Serpentina are a guild in Corna headed by Runehand. The guild is focused on an empathic bond between a horseman and his horse. Steel Serpent membership will be required to join when this guild opens.

Joining Information

   Runehand says, "You're interested, too, eh?  Me too.  First, let me tell
   you a little about the Equites, so you can make an informed decision." in
   Anglic.

   Runehand says, "Serpentina, as you know, was our patron sorceress.  She
   had quite a storied history, but decided to devote well over a century to
   building and protecting Corna, here.  She was very mysterious -- even up to
   the moment of her disappearance.  I only had the chance to study with her for
   a few months; I was her last apprentice.  Almost everything I know how to do I
   learned from her." in Anglic.

   Runehand says, "Part of her researches was devoted to finding magicks to
   help better defend ourselves.  She knew a few powerful spells of the sort that
   would fry someone where they stood, but mostly she was interested in
   enchantment.  The Dragonsabre of Serpente was one result of those
   enchantments.  Staves of the elements were another.  But her most useful
   invention -- yes, even more useful than the Dragonsabre -- was discovering an
   enchantment that imparted a faculty for horse-bonding upon its bearer." in
   Anglic.

   Runehand says, "This bond is similar to those employed by the daanan, and
   some of the witches of the northeast.  But she honed it specifically for her
   purposes.  She needed competent agents and military leaders to help her stave
   off the threats of her time.  So she shaped the bond for horses, and not just
   any horses, but a kind of horse that she herself helped to breed: warhorses of
   an exceptionally powerful stock." in Anglic.

   Runehand says, "She had an entire private cavalry of men augmented in
   their logistical and military prowess by her own magicks.  They became
   enormously competent, and formed a sort of inner circle of advisors for her. 
   But when she vanished, they disbanded.  In fact, heh, most of them went
   insane.  Anyway..." in Anglic.

   Runehand says, "The point being!  I have rediscovered her technique!  Her
   technique for enchanting persons with the ability to bond our warhorses.  I've
   been using it on a select few of our Steel Serpents.  I learned it by reading
   a scroll of hers, a scroll so potent that I can still detect some of her
   magickal essence within it.  So I've been calling the method of bonding
   "Serpentina's echo"." in Anglic.

   Runehand asks you, "So that's basically it.  In exchange for more of a
   commitment to aiding Corna, I am willing to give you the ability to bond one
   of our war-horses, and become an unmatched rider.  What do you think?" in
   Anglic.

Joining Requirements

1. Be a Steel Serpent. You can talk to Osaka about joining them.
2. Unknown, as nobody's been able to successfully join.

 Runehand says, "Hmm, so you're a Steel Serpent, that's a start.  But why
 don't you get to know the town a little better, first?  If you want to become
 an Equite, you'll be spending a lot of time defending the people here. 
 Indeed, you may even give your life to defend them.  It's better for Corna and
 better for you if you familiarize yourself with the concerns of the
 townsfolk." to you
