Description[]
"In Ireland, legend says butterflies can cross over from the human world to the otherworld. On Jorvik that other place has a different name, Pandoria, and it is a rare breed of magical horse, not butterflies, who cross over...
Bright as the break of dawn, Solas is said to pass between this world and another, a reality that lies in tandem with Jorvik. A place of pink skies and floating islands, glowing mushrooms, and panda rays. They reach this otherworld through winding cave systems hidden deep up Jorvik. Their time spent in the pin unreality has affected Solas' metabolism, giving them seemingly boundless energy. Jumping between floating islands has also made them surprisingly fleet-footed.
Their name comes from the Irish word for brightness and illumination, much like the horse's vibrant coat and personality. Solas' coat has many 'eyes' that closely resemble a peacock's feathers. Jorvegian storytellers allude this to the peacock butterfly, passing between worlds as the legends tell.
Like other Magic Horses in Jorvik, Solas shows its true colors in wild places and will conceal its appearance in populated areas. Whether in its magical form or disguised to blend in with other horses, Dorcha rides just like the Irish Cobs it most resembles."
Unique Features[]
Color Changing[]
The Solas is a magical horse with the special ability to change colors. When the player presses the "h" key or the magic horse icon on the horse's character sheet, the horse will change from its neutral colors to its natural (magic) colors and vice versa. The horse will not change colors during races or while the player is unmounted.
Feathers[]
The Solas sports heavy feathering on its legs. This long hair covering the horses' canon and fetlock means that the Solas cannot wear leg wraps or open front boots in the game.

The Solas is sold for 850 SC. It is sold by Gary Goldtooth and comes in one variation.
