Or so I thought!
When I met the thief who wanted him, I persuaded him to leave and leave the horse with me.
There is a dialogue option that if you threaten him and your Persuade is high enough you can keep the horse.
Then, later in the game, about 2 hours of playtime later, I went on a mission to the dungeon that you are sent on the first Mage mission (like an archaeological dig) via fast travel, and as soon as I appeared, I was attacked. I unmounted Frost to defend myself and I there was a battle. Sadly, now I can't find him!
Does anyone know how I can get him back?
I fast-traveled to a couple of other locations to see if he came with me (like when you buy a horse) but he didn't show up.
I hope he isn't lost forever, as in dead.
It was nice to have a named horse.
Thanks!
Bethesda:
If you are reading this, horses should come with a whistle to call your horse to you, like in Red Dead Redemption. That was an amazing, easy to use way to never lose your horse.
Thank you.
