Sheep

The sheep is a peaceful domestic animal kept on many farms across the island of Khorinis. Sheep are extremely clever and loyal creatures – if treated well, they will follow their owner for life. On Khorinis, they are protected by law, and anyone who kills one must pay a fine. They are an important food source: they provide meat, sausage, milk, and cheese, and hunters also prize their hides as trophies. Numerous shepherds tend the flocks, including Balthasar, Maleth, and Pepe. From Pepe, one could purchase a sheep named Liesel for 100 gold. To be accepted as a novice at the Fire Mages' monastery, one needed not only 1000 gold coins but also a sheep. The mercenaries at Onar's Farm are tasked with protecting the sheep among other things. The natural enemies of sheep are wolves, which hunt them by preference.
