Herd Airistos

Herd Airistos honors NIke's quest for excellence. The horses of Herd Airistos set high goals for themselves and give their best to everything they do. Horses who work very hard to become better at what they do and who achieve especially worthy goals may be granted the Order of Nike and invited to join the nobility of Herd Airistos.

This herd lives to the south in a chain of flying islands known as the Windhome Skylands. With its lush gardens, enchanting waterfalls, and gentle breezes, it was the perfect home for flying horses. Herd Airistos has Uranus and Anemone as its king and queen. Inspired by Nike’s quest for excellence, they in turn chose their court from the horses who set the highest goals for themselves and worked hardest to achieve them. Their castle is on the largest and highest of the islands, overlooking the rest. The domed roofs and tall columns of Airistos Castle is graced by courtyard gardens filled with blooming plants brought from all over North of North. From this heavenly home in the clouds, the horses of Herd Airistos guard the skies of the south.

Herd Airistos is, as the name implies, a herd full of horses of the air, primarily winged horses, or pegasuses. It's patron, or founder of the herd, was the winged horse Nike.

The symbol for Herd Aristos is a light purple-pink pair of wings, similar to Nike's wings.

Herd Motto: "Flying ever higher."
