Unicorn

The unicorn (Equus unicornus) is an extant species of equine. Of course, it has no magical powers, although some cultures believe it is lucky because it is very elusive and populations are small.

The current range of the unicorn mostly covers mountainous parts of Kitland, one of the Contingent Kingdoms of the Auld Countries. These is also a very small population in the karst terrain of southern Honba; a subspecies known as the Eastern Unicorn.

Unicorns were common hundreds of years ago, even into the 8th century, but they were sadly extirpated from most parts of the world due to the popular trade of their horn, which according to superstition could heal many ailments when consumed in powder form, or protect from evil spirits if the horn was displayed in a family's home.

The unicorn is the national symbol of the Auld Countries, and current ruler Queen Meghan II wears a gold emblem pin of a unicorn on her chest when she makes public appearances.
