[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 6422480, member: 5038"] Well, the 1e DMG says that the paladin calls for his warhorse and receives a vision of its location which is within 7 days ride. So the answer is he calls for it. How does he know that he can do so? Maybe he gets a vision or other sign from his deity that he is, now, worthy to acquire one. It is even possible that paladins in the world know that they will eventually receive one as a reward, but not when he is worthy until they receive the sign. The DM might provide the quest, but the DM is not obligated to to drop everything and provide it if the timing is inappropriate. The warhorse in 1e will be no more than 7 days ride and the quest might take two or more weeks to complete. Therefore, it is possible, that the quest could be delayed due to in-game reasons or the character might have to leave the main adventure for a few weeks or more of game time. Also, the character is not entitled to have the mount, just to have a reasonable attempt at acquiring it. Per the DMG, task must not be impossible, but should test the Paladin's mettle. Depending upon the quest, it is even possible for the Paladin to be killed given that an example of a quest in the DMG was for the Paladin to engage a Fighter of equal in mortal combat to win the warhorse.
