The Charalin peoples are proud of their horse stocks and have celebrated the
swiftest of them since long before the days of the Consolidation. As they
travel about, it is quite common for them to challenge the others they meet
to a race with their fastest racing steed. This serves for each breeder to
determine the strengths and weaknesses of their chosen racer and if it
should participate in the Great Charalin Horse Races, held on the first day
of the sixth month.

For the Great Races, the Charali migrate from all over the plains to a
central location. Each family prepares a grand breakfast for their own
group, and then offers to share about with the others nearby, resulting in
one large scale breakfast buffet. While breakfasting, horses are registered
to race, and more than one breeder has dropped an entry on seeing someone
else who effectively outraced their horse before. The horses are then
slated to race in heats and bets are typically made on the quiet as to how
the fields will turn out.

The heats begin at noon, and the winning horse of each is then rested until
following dinner that evening. This gives the gathered people time to
socialize and party, share another meal with one another and comment on the
days results thus far. Following the evening meal, the final race is held
to determine the swiftest horse of the plains for the year. Upon the
culmination of the final race, bets are paid up, and the celebrations
continue well into the night. The crowds disperse at sunrise to go back to
their wandering ways.
