Lancer

The holy lancer, also known as eques contiger, is a magically crafted breed of horse granted to the Church of the Divine Light to serve as the paladin's steed. The lancer is stronger, faster, and more easily controlled than a regular horse. It does not spook in combat nor tires as easily. The biggest change however, is that the lancer acquires its sustenance from the sun much the same way a plant does. Meaning that paladins can operate for extended periods of time alone, without the need to lug around horse feed.
