Unicorns

Unicorns are one of the families of mythical creatures inhabiting the continent Sornieth.

Overview
Unicorns are normally shy horse-like creatures that are considered extinct by most, but rumor has it, a few remain. There are two types of these legendary animals, when they are purebred: Landborn, which is a unicorn born into a Land Herd, and Waterborn, a unicorn born into a Water Herd. Adult Landborn have a snowy white coat and shining golden hair, with a pearly silver or gold horn like a saber. Mature Waterborns have a silvery-grey coat and a wavy blue or teal mane, with a slightly curved grey-blue horn and a long tail with a fringe of hair on the underside. Magical Waterborns commonly have rune markings in a shade of silver, while Talentlesses don't. A Talentless unicorn is one without magic but born into a purebred Waterborn herd, while a magical Landborn is considerably more rare, with similar rune markings.

Landborns and Waterborns once mated with horses and created the Others- well, that's what the purebreds call them. They look like normal unicorns but have distant horse lineage, preventing them from resembling either of the purebred Herds. Common Herd unicorns can come in any color, and inhabit the Northern Steppes which is located directly below the Songstone Mountains.

But there is a rumor: there's another purebred type of unicorn. The legendary Moonborns haven't been seen for centuries, but many believe they still exist. Moonborns had pure white coats, horns, and manes, giving an illusion of a simple, Talentless horse. But don't let looks fool you: the alledged "Moonborns" might just have been the most powerful of them all...

Landborn
A somewhat stocky build. Gray, green, yellow, brown, black, sable, or amber eyes. A snowy coat and black hooves; a golden mane- these Unicorns have a fierce beauty in their own right. Long, saber-like horns, with a distinct twisting ringlet pattern, come in two shades: silvery-white, or gold, on Landborns. Generally, these horse-like creatures are hardworking, loyal, just, fair, and determined.

Waterborn
A little bit more rare than Landborns, Waterborn horses are slim, elegent, and with a usually calm demeanor. They have pearly white pelts like their cousin species, but that's where the resemblance ends: a slightly curly mane has the same wavy appearance as a Waterborn's smooth horn, both usually being silvery-blue-teal-gray in color. Long, thin tails with long hair only on the underside personify a purebred, while a Waterborn's eyes are gray, teal, blue, white, black, green, or lavender in color.
