Kelda was a horse that accompanied the chosen of Cyric Malik el Sami for a time during the late 14th century DR.[1]

Description[]

The horse had a sad look to her eyes and expression but appeared to otherwise be well cared for, if a bit overweight.[3]

She walked with exceptional grace, more akin to a unicorn that a regular horse.[4]

Relationships[]

Why is it you care more for your horse than for your friends?
— The Harper agent Ruha, to Malik.[5]

Malik was especially fond of Kelda,[6] far more than his previous mount: the goat-devouring hell-horse named Halah that was "gifted" to him by Cyric.[7] Malik demonstrated his affection for Kelda by cooing to her,[6] extolling her virtues or even kissing her on the snout.[1]

History[]

In the Year of the Unstrung Harp, 1371 DR, Malik and Kelda traveled all the way from Thousand Faces in the Greypeak Mountains[1] to Reitheillaethor[8] and the Dire Wood within the High Forest.[9] After Malik relocated to Villa Dusari in the Netherese city of Thultanthar the following year, Kelda was given a comfortable home within the city's stables.[2]
