Located about an hours ride from the walls of Athelen, Thorn Rose Stables is a good sized track of land with stables, pastures, arenas, trails, and breeding and training facilities for horses.
Owned by Cassandra Sinclair, the stables have a reputation for high end horses. Typically horses coming from the stables are trained specifically for an owner, though the stable specializes in war trained horses and those bred and trained for specific uses like racing or jumping.
Those seeking horses from Thorn Rose Stables are thoroughly vetted and only those with a good reputations are sold to. Top dollar is expected, but the stable always delivers.
Particular about her clientele, Cassandra Sinclair has a quiet reputation for breeding and training horses to an exacting standard. Thorn Rose Stables may not be universally known, but it’s known in the right circles.
New to the stables, no one has quite figured out her role in matters just yet. No one beyond Ms. Sinclair, that is. Whatever it is, the demonkin seems to be someone Ms. Sinclair trusts.
A fae with a light green skin and dark brown hair, Adelyn’s age and origin is unknown. All anyone knows is Adelyn has been around as long as the stables and seems to be one of the only people with the guts and ability to gainsay Cassandra.
A capable trainer, Adelyn manages the horses and staff with a calm efficiency. Likely a necessary trait given the fact may of the horses there are difficult on a good day.
A young man with an almost bubbly personality, Corbyn seems an odd person for a member of the staff at Thorn Rose. That is, until you see him training a horse to jump. Cassandra found the young man in Rhiosse and hired him for the stables nearly on the spot. Several attempts have been made to lure him away, but he seems nearly unshakably loyal to either the stables or Ms. Sinclair.
A demonkin with a penchant for finding the best trails to train a horse on, Megs is a regular figure in the stables in the morning and late evenings. During the day, she’s almost always gone out riding one horse or another. No one is quite sure where Megs came from, or when she met Ms. Sinclair, but no one has really bothered ask and neither of the demonkin have decided to share.
The dark haired, dark eyed, not-quite-human individual is a skilled horse trainer, specializing in teams and driving. He has a knack for spotting talent in a horse, and in getting the most out of that talent. While all of her staff have the ability to purchase horses, Trelion is one of the few Cassandra will send to auctions in her place.
Another not-quite-human individual with silver hair and eyes who comes and goes as they please, but always seems to know when needed.
