Where the brave ride fabric steeds and glory is sewn, not born.
The Story
In a world where true horses are extinct and gasoline is a myth, one underground tradition reigns supreme:
The Hobby Horse Tournaments.
Across the lawless plains of the post-plastic Dark Age, bands of fearless warriors clash in dusty arenas, riding handcrafted steeds made of mop handles, duct tape, and dreams.
This is not a game.
This is not cosplay.
This is the Hobby Horse League—and only the strongest riders survive.
Among them, a legend rises.
Juno Strawhat, an exiled saddle-forger with a mysterious past, returns to the arena wielding a forbidden stitch-technique lost since the Great Upholstery War.
Her hobby horse, Thunderlace, stitched from her grandmother’s battle curtains, pulses with power unknown to modern tailors.
But standing in her way is the tyrannical champion: Sir Bucklegrim the Foam-Crowned, whose noble bloodline has ruled the arena for ten generations and who believes hobby horses are only for the elite.
Juno must rally the ragtag resistance—known as the Quilted Rebellion—and ride not just for victory, but for the soul of the saddle itself.
The Title Song
Gallop of Glory
- Genre: Medieval metal meets country punk
- Musical Vibe: Lute solos collide with banjo shredding. Galloping double kick drums, battle cries in harmony, and a chorus that sounds like a tavern riot set to power chords.
Lyric Preview
“Saddle up, the wind is cryin’ / Felt and foam, the flags are flyin’ / Stitch by stitch, we ride the night / Gallop of Glory, we will fight!”
