Name Origin:
Timoleon was a good American Thoroughbred racehorse and was later an important sire. Timoleon was the "Pride of Virginia." But racing so long ago, the actual statistics on his career on the track are hard to trace. It seems he might have started 15 times and that he won 13 of those starts, which were over the then-usual distances of three or four miles. It also seems he might have won all fifteen if he'd been entered in better form. Four of his wins were "walk-overs." In his day if a horse like Timoleon was scheduled to compete but no horse could be found to challenge him, then he (or she) would be allowed to canter the course, winning the purse and the race. It is certain he defeated some of the best horses of his time. He defeated the two best daughters of Sir Archy: Reality and Lady Lightfoot, who were both highly regarded. His final race took place in February 1818. He'd suffered with equine distemper a week before, was still entered, but had to be pulled up with respiratory problems, his second and last defeat.

About the Kiinirit Creature

Kiinirits are a type of nature sprite that are intrinsically linked to their trees. Kiinirits will protect their trees as well as any surrounding trees. Some tales say that Kiinirits are a manifestation of the souls of trees. Other tales say that Kiinirits are a type of forest fae. Whatever Kiinirits truly are, they are definitely magical in nature.
