	*'''Horse:''' of course. We'll make several types but the differences are basically cosmetic until I find a good horse-expert to help me.

Some are more useful in one terrain and less in others, some can be trained to fight, some can be ridden, some can carry loads, but no single type can do it all. A heavy horse (with armor) can be ridden to break enemy lines, or face off against another rider, but they're not very fast. Light horses are fast and agile, but can't carry heavy loads. Chariot horses pull chariots, of course, and transport PCs (or rescued NPCs), but can't carry much or break enemy lines (unless the enemy is also riding chariots). Cart horses mainly carry cargo. Etc., etc.
	*'''Llama:''' this is mainly for humor-value. Llamas cannot be used as draught-animals, so when a chariot ''says'' it can be pulled by anything, it's lying.		*'''Llama:''' this is mainly for humor-value.

	*'''Camel:''' because camels are smarter than horses. Basic camels are dromedary (one-humped, warm-climate camels); but there are also Bactrians (two-humped, and capable of surviving the cold), and other varieties: possibly various species of Ice Age camels, and possibly some magically-bred varieties with up to seven humps. Colors are indicative of rarity: brown or sandy camels are common, reddish are uncommon, white are rare, black are exotic.		*'''Camel:''' because camels are smarter than horses.

	*'''The Basic Chariot:''' A basic 2-wheeled/1-horse chariot is the smallest available. It cannot be pulled by anything other than a horse. This provided no benefit over a standard horse except that the rider does not suffer the 50% mounted combat penalty when using a ranged weapon.		*'''The Basic Chariot:''' A basic 2-wheeled/1-horse chariot is the smallest available.

	*'''The "Ramses II" Model:''' 2-wheeled/2-horse chariot. Can be pulled by anything and gets a 40% bonus to movement speed.

	*'''The ~~Ceaser~~:''' This is the big chariot. It's pulled by four large horses and can hold 3 people. It also gets a 50% movement speed bonus. As with all chariots, anyone riding in it gets to ignore the 50% movement speed penalty.		*'''The Caesar:''' This is the big chariot. It's pulled by four large horses and can hold 3 people.

	**'''Double ~~Ceaser~~:''' ~~A variant of the Ceaser, this~~ one is even bigger. Eight horses and 4 wheels (still one axle though, so it's not a cart). 100% movement bonus and holds 5(very crowded) people. No ranged penalty (obviously). The Double ~~Ceaser~~ is also armored around the crew compartment, giving everyone inside a 25% AC bonus.

	===Litters===		===Litters===
	One type of "mount" you can get is basically a litter ~~chair~~ carried by eight [[Sauro-Taru]] or [[Viverren]]. It waits patiently for you outside of dungeons and even has a little storage on it. Or you can pack the whole thing up and shove it in a special bag (apparently no one has campaigned for Viverren/Sauro-Taru rights just yet). It goes as fast as a horse with the added bonus of a sapient lifeform that sometimes makes wise-crack comments.

	The litters are more expensive but come with a few perks. Extra storage, for starters, and you have the option of purchasing additional carriers to gain extra speed (up to 12, which gives you about 30% over the speed of a horse). The Litter can still be ridden in combat and is more maneuverable than a horse; while you are riding it, the litter does not melee. However, if you wish to dismount, the carriers can be trained to set the litter down and fight beside you (this might require some skill-checks or background, etc.). The catch, of course, is that they can (probably quite easily) be killed, and then you have to walk out.		The litters are more expensive but come with a few perks.
