Unicorns

Also known as Monceros to the elves, the unicorn is a creature bearing many resemblances to horses. The visible differences are the tall horn that adorns their forehead, their tail which is hairless except for the tip and a pattern of dark greenish horizontal stripes which cover their front body, neck and forelegs. Unicorns are smaller than the average horse, standing 1.5 meters tall and weighing 450 kg. They can only be found in Alvor and are said to be native to the lost elven homeland to the west. The elven Siliana-mera horses are rumored to be partly unicorn. Unicorns are solitary and do not live in herds like horses. Mated pairs can however stick together for very long time. The exact lifespan of unicorns is unknown but thought to be hundreds of years due to their magical powers.

The unicorn has several magical abilities related to the biomancy school. Folklore believes this power to be related to the unicorn’s horn but the horn is only a focal point for its magical powers and it is the animal itself that is magical.

Alchemy
