Quest Overview

Race in Hernand is a House Serkis faction quest and sits under the Hooves Through the Wind chapter. It is a short horse-race challenge in the centre of Hernand against a local noble, with a Local Informant guiding the final objective.

Step by Step Walkthrough

1. Travel to Hernand and activate the quest marker in the town centre.

2. Accept the race from the noble and line up at the start pennant.

3. Win the race against the noble across the dust-raising circuit through town.

4. Report back to the Local Informant to complete the final objective.

5. Turn in the quest and collect the Master Trainer's Touch reward.

Tips

• Pin the Local Informant on the map before starting to avoid backtracking once the race ends.

• Use a high-stamina mount. The circuit favours sustained speed over bursts, and your horse's stamina bar is what loses the race if you ignore the Horseback mechanics.

• This pairs naturally with other Racing Challenges for similar-format extra rewards.

Travel Use

Race in Hernand is most relevant when planning movement, hauling, or group travel. The seat count, stamina, movement, and handling rows show whether it fits solo exploration, passenger transport, or supply movement better than a faster single-rider mount.
