Flavour Text/Lore
Bael Riders or Bael Knights are seen few and far between. It takes not only masterful handling but also a fearless rider to truly become effective as a Bael rider. It is a dangerous profession as well, as unlike Horses, Pegasus and some Wyverns breeds, Baels are truly dangerous and intelligent monsters.
It is a false assumption that the rider controls the Bael, rather the Bael has respected the rider enough to let them be in control. Those who fail to remember this has ended up hurt or worse, eaten by the Baels they try to ride. Wyvern riders might have a slightly easier time then other mounted soldier to transition, as the strength you need to ride a wyvern could at the very least give you a basis on how to treat Baels as a mount.
In exchange of this difficult and often dangerous process however, those who succeed are granted access to all the full might of a Bael, it’s towering high ground advantage over other mounts and excellent and adept mountain traversal, only topped with getting a lifelong and loyal companion. As when you earn a Bael’s respect you earned it for life. In fact there have been some reports of riders who have grown old or fallen in combat and their Baels curling up beside them and passing along with.
