Antelope (animal)
An animal often compared in shape to a deer by Continental scholars, the antelope is a skittish and largely harmless beast hunted for both sport and meat in eastern and southern Sarradon.
We've spent most of the day in the dry heat of shrubland on the tail of an antelope alone from its herd. The arduous trek has nearly paid off. After crawling under a thicket of sharp thorns, I find the antelope on its hind legs, eating from the dangling limb of a tree. It has not noticed my approach, giving me time to ready my
long range weapon. I am quite a distance away, so if this shot misses I'm not sure I'll be able to catch it like this again, but the element of surprise is on my side.
