"Herd Airistos
Order: HOUSE AIRISTOS of the WINDHOME SKYLANDS
Motto: “Flying ever higher.”
Patron: Nike
House Airistos, the royal house of the Windhome Skylands, was founded to honor Nike and her quest for excellence. Like Nike, the horses of House Airistos set high goals for themselves and give their best to everything they do. They also look for chances to learn new things and improve themselves, so their best can keep getting better and better. Horses that work hard and achieve especially worthy goals may be granted the Order of Nike and invited to join the nobility of House Airistos.
Realm: Windhome Skylands
The Windhome Skylands is a majestic chain of floating islands inset like gems in the heavenly skies above North of North. The larger, southern islands blossom with lush gardens and enchanting waterfalls that cascade from one island to the next. Some are even big enough to hold whole cities of whitewashed buildings with tile roofs and open courtyards. Airistos Castle sits on the largest and highest island, watching over the rest of the Windhome Skylands. Waterfalls from various pools at the base of the castle cascade off of the island, sometimes onto smaller islands below. Flying horses can be seen on platforms and in the air around the islands.
Castle: Airistos castle
Airistos castle is a large open structure; its vast open terraces, promenades and causeways was intentionally designed for ease of flight for winged horses. White marble columns hold vaulted domed ceilings and turrets and elevated ramparts. Clusters of columns hold a lot higher platforms, which in turn hold even higher platforms, creating a multi-terraced effect.
