The Alacrian Quickbeasts is a racing team from Alacria that competes in the Ghirapur Grand Prix on Avishkar.

Description

Working in rider-and-steed teams, the Alacrian Quickbeasts are unique among the competitors of the GGP in that they are a team of racing partners, not just master and beast.

Quickbeasts are huge winged creatures from Alacria, a plane connected to Avishkar by a perennial Omenpath. Fueled by a diet of aether, Quickbeasts are capable of startlingly quick, sustained movement and propelling themselves and their riders at high speeds across varied terrain for days at a time between feedings. They are intelligent creatures, ancient and valued by the riders they choose to partner with. Often they are regarded as the souls of the city districts across Alacria, whose honor and legend they inherit from the Quickbeasts that sired them. Riders must pass through extensive schooling and training before they can mount a Quickbeast, and even then, only with the consent of the beast. When this happens, they become bound and occupy the two aspects of their district's legend together.

The team of Alacrian Quickbeasts present in the second Grand Prix represents the best of Alacria's districts and race for the collective honor of their homeworld. They are led by Caradora and Lagorin, a rider and Quickbeast who were not originally bound together but have been forced into a racing pair by tragic circumstances back home.
