Antelopes

As the deer are the archtypal grazing animal of the temperate forests, so the antelope is in the dry southern country. The Gamekeepers Guild of Pezarsan names thirty kinds of antelope found wild in Near Harad. They range in size from the Kingshorn of the desert oases of the Marg Murak, to the Lise, the Fern-dancer of the Pezar Cataracts. A Kingshorn bull can match a war horse in strength, while the Lise is not much larger than a cat. Listed below are the most notable of the antelopes of Near Harad, all of them fair game for travellers where local law permits. They are here classified as large (ox-sized,) medium (sheep-weight,) or small (half the weight of a sheep or less, half of that edible.)
