Unicorns

Unicorn
The Unicorn is a very pure and beautiful creature amongst the living beings. They are known for the great rapidity they possess and are rarely seen by humans. Unicorns are the Symbol for purity and untamed force. Its distinguishing feature is a long twisted horn, which is growing from his forehead, spiral pointed ending. It serves him as a last resort as a weapon. Because unicorns avoid conflicts but still sometimes it can happen, this is however very rare. These animals are very shy and avoid human contact. Unfortunately, there are people with the superstition that the horn possess healing powers that exceed all herbs. So the creature was often chased by hunters for it’s power. As bait a virgin maid was often used, as the Unicorns cherish a certain solidarity with these women. Luckily this hunt now became very rare, since the forests of Alewor, where these animals live, have well-guarded borders.

Appearance and habitat
Unicorns have the statue of a big horse, they usually have white fur with long silver shimmering mane. The eyes are usually black but rarely it happens that they have deep blue eyes. The horn as described, is spiral shaped and very pointy. Is not much known of the life expectancy of the unicorns because no one found any cadavers and it’s not known how old these creatures can get. It is sung by the Elves that the unicorns were created with the forest and disappear if the forest would die.
