Horse Event? Spoilers

[Karsk]

So what's the outcome of the dilu the horse event? The one where your advisors say that the horse is cursed? I don't care about spoilers, I've not taken it out of suspicion but I am curious about whether it is cursed or not.

It doesn't seem to be overpowered enough to justify being bad to take

It also has a tendency to trigger events if in the same army as a general with the Superstitious trait.

The outcome is that you get a pretty good horse.

if i knew then i wouldn't be asking would i?

I haven't read rotk or war and peace. too long

That's the lore. in ROTK, Liu Bei was given the horse during his stay with Cao Cao after the collapse of the Coalition with Yuan Shao. He had that horse with him all the time while fleeing. When one of the scholar that was with Liu Bei during his stay with Tao Qian saw the horse (The one that defected to Cao Cao because Cao Cao took his mother hostage), he noticed that there's a mark under the horse's left eyelid and said it to be the Hex mark (Dilu) which would bring bad luck to anyone who rode it and Liu Bei simply said: "I've had bad luck all my life. While I'm the emperor's uncle, I'm here without a state, fighting for a crumbling household that bare my blood and no place to stay. Pretty sure the horse can't bring me anymore bad luck".

When Tao Qian died and Cao Cao came to take Xu province off Liu Bei's hands, he was defeated and had to flee the battlefield across a river. It was said that the river had no bridges and the rapides was too fast for anything to swim in it and everything would sink in it. Xu Chu was chasing Liu Bei and out of option, Liu Bei grabbed the reins of the horse, galloped and the horse lept in the air and landed safely across the impossible to cross river. Xu Chu, being stunned by the magnificence, din't order his archers to fire and in awe, watched both Liu Bei and the unscathed horse flee away.

Pang Tong too recognize the power of the Hexmark and time and time again sarcastically told Liu Bei that it is unwise to have such a horse with him but again, hearing Liu Bei's reasoning, gave in. During the campaign in the Sichuan region, Liu Bei couldn't find himself to attack Liu Zhang. Pang Tong knew that Liu Zhang's forces had set an ambush on the route of the parlay to kill Liu Bei once and for all and when the stablemate pulled Hexmark for Liu Bei to inspect, it would not budge. Pang Tong went to have a look and saw the horse wildly raising its front hooves and neighing loudly at him. Thus he realized that the horse is telling him that if Liu wants to claim Sichuan, Pang Tong will be the next victim of the Hexmark and true to prediction, Pang Tong requested to be the 1st group to the parlay but rode on Hexmark and as Pang Tong predicted, he was ambushed at Fallen Phoenix Valley (ironic that he joked about the ambush being there and dying at there as his nickname was Fledgling Phoenix) and died together with Hexmark in the original of ROTK.
