History
The Sleipnir race just kind of showed up, out on nowhere. No one know where they come from or how they came about.

Magics & Abilities
The Sleipnir have speed magic naturally and they seam to have other magics as well. There armor is hard to pierce so they are quite tough and will stomp something when threatened as well as use the blades ob there helmets when they headbutt, though it seams they are just doing a headbutt an are unaware of the blades. They just know they do damage and really what more do you need to know.

Culture
Sleipnir for the most part act like normal wild horses, but taming on is vary hard and can lead to injury and even deadness. They are not monsters in any sense and will not attack unprovoked, they'll run first if they are spooked. It is said that they will bow to a person with "a true warriors spirit". It is also said that ones that die with enough magic energy stored in there body live on as spirits and continue to frolic or serve it's tamer even after death.
