Overview
Warpath Broadwings, also called "Warwings," are so named for their fearsome appearance and for the stories surrounding their gruesome coloring. These pegasi are said to have been used by generals in a great northern war. Stories say the pegasi and soldiers riding them were so ruthless in battle that it stained the pegasi’s legs with blood, and set death upon their eyes and wings.

Coloration and Conformation
As with most pegasi with black or dark wings, there is a great deal of prejudice against warwings. That has not stopped a number of longhaul messenger and rescue pilots from flying warwings, however, as they are strong flyers and relatively even-tempered. The curious dark feathers around and under their eyes are sometimes referred to as "tears," linking back to an old legend of a pegasus that cried because of the many deaths it witnessed. While warwings are very distinct, they are also somewhat high-maintenance, required somewhat more grooming than other broadwings. For this reason, it's always recommended to keep a preening tool with you, should you choose to make a long journey with a warwing.
