Unicorn

The unicorns are ancient magical creatures that existed peacefully during the Days of Yore. They originally lived around the forests of Silvara and had a special relationship with the elves. The elves mounted and rode them in the same way Man rode horses, but the elves treated them as friends and the unicorns were happy to serve loyally. They are able to understand some of the Olde Tongue and sense thoughts, and in some cases convey simple thoughts to other creatures and races. During the events of the Great Purge, the unicorns were relocated to Elixia.

Unicorns are predominantly white and have muscular and streamlined horse-like shapes. They have spiral shaped horns which have magical properties, and as a result they were hunted by Man who prized their horns for use in wand-making, medicines and other purposes. Once their horns are fully removed, it would kill the unicorn, so this was a cruel and controversial practice. Unicorns sometimes allow their friends to remove parts of their horns, but as the horns took years to grow back, it was not a common practice.

Viridian had a close relationship with a special unicorn called Shandar.
