Description
A set of four iron horseshoes, each engraved with a flowing rune of swiftness. When all four are nailed to the hooves of a single horse or similar mount, that creature's walking speed increases dramatically by thirty feet so long as it bears no rider heavier than one of large size and the shoes remain intact. The horseshoes affect only one mount at a time and provide no other magical benefits. They are most valuable for messengers, scouts, mounted couriers, and any adventurer needing to outrun pursuit, traverse vast distances, or close decisive ground in pursuit-oriented battles. Skilled farriers are required to fit them properly.
