Herd Valeryk

Herd Valeryk was created to honor Thunder's courage. Like Thunder, the horses of Herd Valeryk stand up for themselves, protect others, and speak out when something isn't right. They are brave when faced with challenges and dare to keep trying until they succeed. Horses who show amazing courage may be granted the Order of Thunder and invited to join the nobility of Herd Valeryk.

This herd lives high up the great Midwinter Mountains in the center of North of North, next to the vast ice lake known as Wintermere. With its snow-covered evergreen forests and icy blue glaciers, these mountains made a perfect home for cold-loving horses. Herd Valeryk has Sleetmane and Snowdreamer as its king and queen and Thora as its princess. Inspired by Thunder’s courage, they in turn chose their court from the bravest horses in the herd. Right on the shore of Wintermere, they found a natural hot spring and decided this would be a great spot to build their home. Thunder stomped his hooves and called the lightning to carve Castle Valeryk’s great towers from the mountains’ rock and ice. From this winter wonderland, the horses of Herd Valeryk guard the heart of North of North.

Herd Valeryk is full of horses that love winter, from those with actual ice powers, like Iceking, to those with winter themed cards.
