	Following the Spring Equinox 387YE. Astronomancers across the Empire became aware of the names and titles of the individual stars that make up the Stallion. It seems likely that a coven performed a divinatory ritual during the Equinox to commune with the constellation, and that one of the side effects was the wider revelation of these names. Where these names come from, and what they mean for a wider understanding of astronomancy, is unclear but a matter of some discussion.		Following the Spring Equinox 387YE.

	The most obvious use of The Stallion in ritual is to invoke blessings on unborn children; however it is also used as a fertility symbol in rites to do with agriculture growth and business. Fertility is not just to do with making babies; two coins invested wisely will make their own kinds of babies. The Stallion also has strong associations with children in ritual; as protector of the herd and as teacher.
