So, this might've been in for a while, but I just noticed this, apparently color was removed from the keyword for a lot of pets?

I just wanted to say thanks to whoever did this! :wink:

BTW, this isn't sarcasm, I'm happy this was done.

Mognar's Stable
Amongst the piles of straw and various tack and harnesses, you can see
the hoof prints of many beasts. As this is a stable, that is not of great
concern. You can see the prints of horses and other such animals going into
the various stalls in the back. The stablemaster, in the interests of good
business will also gladly watch over any other steeds for a time, and so has
provided extra stalls for general public use.

A centaur cityguard of Nerina wanders around keeping the order.
Mognar is here busily working within the stables.

The fur of this black horse is shiny and well-groomed. Its sleek form
bristles with power and energy, and it is obvious that this steed was bred
for battle. Its stance is beautiful and its attention is focused highly on
all that surrounds it.
Overall, a large, black horse is in excellent condition.

While tragic that it was necessary, yes, this is a very good fix.

The fix was needed but I am not quite sure yet if it is all that it should be? Unless you can't have large as an adjective.

Jesus, if it really needs to cover EVERY WORD except horse or camel or whatever, there's a serious problem.

That is an instance which would end up with a new adjective. This change was instituted by yours truly. The adjectives white and black were removed from all the pets I could find. The rest of the describing words are infrequent enough among adjectives that a coincidental happening of similar describing words would almost have to be intentional. In such an instance, everyone agrees that its against the rules and shall be addressed.

This is the easiest solution that I could accomplish that remedied the main issue. Further incidents like this will certainly be dealt with in a less beat-around-the-bush manner.
