Unicorns

A creation bestowed onto the world by Reis, Unicorns are equines with a horn spiraling out from the center of their forehead. They are said to be mysterious creatures as there are far and few in between that have ever come in contact with them.

Overview
Their coats are a stark white shade, a pure type of coloring that's hard to miss, though they blend in quite well with snow. They could be easily mistaken for an albino horse if it weren't for a few distinguishable traits; the most notable being that of an ivory horn growing from the center of their forehead, cloven hooves and a lion like tail. While all Unicorns are females, they all sport a breaded chin.

Unicorns, for the most part, dwell deep within forests and other hidden away troves of land, making it difficult to ever come across one. They seem rather uninterested in the vast majority of other creatures, preferring to keep themselves in the company of fairies, sprites and dyrads. They often come across as completely fearful of mortals, keeping their distance from larger cities and towns.

They are said to be these completely pure creatures, unbothered by the evil that plagues the world. Areas that are "protected" by these creatures often have glyphs and other things craved into the barks of trees by the tips of their horns. These areas often feel more at peace than the world around it. Areas like these are often reported to have a rejuvenating air about them, almost as if it helps cleanse the spirit of all its woos.

Mythology
These creatures are a creation of the goddess Reis. Overall, they are said to be a good omen, that to see one in the flesh is a sign that good things are soon to come. And that Reis will soon be close behind them, to answer any prayers sent her way.

There's only one stipulation about these creatures. Women tend to be the only ones who will ever witness them in the flesh.

Unicorns, more specifically, are sent to women who are in some type of need. Being the champion of women, Reis does her best to make sure that she is actively felt among them, so it should be said she doesn't want mortals to feel as if she is not there. After all, she is the most presently active of them all. So, she tends to send this ethereal creatures in her stead when she can not make it herself.

But even then, it is almost unheard of to have one get any closer than in one's general line of sight. There have only been a few cases of one ever getting within touching distance of a mortal; the most prominent being that of the current queen of Adrastea, having been blessed by one's presence in her own time of need. For the most part, they are in fact relatively skittish, preferring to keep their distance between themselves and humans. Similar to that of the White Stags, there's no telling who might harm them if they were to get too close, so perhaps it's for the best they keep a good bit of space between themselves and others.
