Rahur

Rahur was Andrahar's war-horse for many years, and all throughout the Ring War until September 3019.

Biography
Rahur was a stallion by virtue of the fact that no one had ever dared to get close enough to do anything about this fact. Considered unbreedable due to temperament, but with all the strength and speed of a battle-trained horse, the stallion was the terror of Dol Amroth's stables, and a challenge even for very experienced horsemen:


 * Brand looked up and froze. One of the war stallions had apparently broken free from its master's grasp, and stood there, stamping nervously, its ears laid flat against its head. Serl stuck his head up over the partition and gasped, and the horse's head immediately snaked in his direction. A squeal issued forth from the stallion, and he bounced, his shod feet clanging on the paved aisle of the stable.


 * 'A bad'un, the worst I've ever seen, Brand thought in dismay. Three years as a stable boy had exposed him to a great many cantankerous horses, but this one, he realized, was genuinely dangerous.- "The Bad'un," Noble Jewel.

The knight from whom Rahur had broken loose, Badhron, and who had been asked to hold Rahur specifically because he had been thought to be equal to the task, ended the day with a broken collarbone.

Meta
The name "Rahur" first came up in an aborted story that never saw the light of day. A month later, in December of 2003, Andrahar's horse finally was named in Discovery.
