Lifting restrictions that are placed because of "lore"

[PArcher]

Well, his species could be nearly extinct on Gaia but still plentiful on Hydaelyn. I'd think the bigger problem is that it's an intelligent sentient species, so using one as a mount would be slavery.

There was an argument a while back about Middy, and how it was "cruel" or "unjust" to force the Father of Dragons to wear a saddle and bridle.

The issue with that argument? He chose to wear those for your comfort riding him (just as he chooses to allow you to ride him at all).

Nothing says another intelligent mount can't do the same.


EDIT: And everyone forgets that Kirin is an intelligent mount, allowing you to ride him after proving your worth collecting the element-infused Nightmares (but not an actual Nightmare...)
