Y’Sann was the first to have the gift of Horse Speech and was cast out from his original tribe. When he left the tribe half the tribe went with him. Those who followed Y’Sann including the best riders and the shaman's apprentice went with him. Y’Sann was drawn west to the Grass Sea, the plains of Aressia. Those who followed Y’Sann were the first to use the phrase gentle a horse. After a decade in the Grass Sea their numbers tripled.

Through Y’sann’s gift they shared conversation and learned from one another. One day during one of their talks they were attacked by a dozen men. Y'Sann being the great warrior that he is was holding his own. However Y’Sann started to falter, it was the numbers, and when he began to falter Skywing told him to climb on. When Y’Sann did Skywing took flight and returned Y’Sann back to his tribe.

Y'Sann was revered as a near god that is when the people who followed him started referring to themselves as the Y'Sanni. The forming of the Sky Riders cemented the Y'Sanni use of the bow. They were known for their Sky Volley – which was said to blot out the sun.

The bond with the Pegasi extended the life of the Skyriders and they developed a resistance to magic. Sky Riders die in the sky and have a sense of when their time is coming so that they can go out for their final flight. The Sky Horse usually passes from grief soon after their rider’s final flight. Sky Riders are laid to rest in the Sky Mound which is the highest hill in the Grass Sea which has an apple tree on it – located in the western part of the plains.
