Personality: Prideful, arrogant and stubborn, Annadin named her mount "Goroth", which means "horror" or "dread" in Sindarin, the language of her father's people. Goroth is deaf, and is easily angered out of frustration; a trait he shares with Annadin. He has a mean streak in him that Annadin works hard to smooth out.

History:
Goroth was to be put down as a colt because he is deaf, and therefore was unfit for training as a war horse. Annadin took him home and hand-raised him, and it shows. Goroth is fiercely loyal to Annadin and refuses to obey anyone else. She uses hand signals and body language to communicate with him, and spent long hours over many years training him as a war horse, just to prove that just because something isn’t born perfect, doesn’t mean it can’t become something wonderful. Morvorn was raised with Goroth, and the two of them are inseparable for the most part. Morvorn acts as Goroth’s ears, and keeps him out of trouble.
