Legends and Lore
With a Nature or Religion check, characters can learn the following:
DC 10 Unicorns are celestial beings of pure good that protect enchanted forests in the Dreaming and on the Material Plane.
DC 15 The touch of a unicorn’s horn can heal the sick or grant a boon of good luck or protection.
DC 20 Even the inherent goodness of a unicorn can be corrupted. Corrupted unicorns use their magical horns to summon inky shadows.
Those fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of a unicorn describe a majestic white or black horse with a silver horn spiraling from its brow. Resolute champions of good, unicorns are celestial guardians sent by sylvan gods to protect sacred places and ward against evil. A unicorn is aware of all who enter its enchanted forest, and it moves swiftly to wherever it is needed most. Creatures pure of heart feel a supernatural calm in a unicorn’s domain, while those with ill intent find no comfort in such places.
Divine Aid. In times of great need, a unicorn can perform miracles and grant boons. A unicorn’s touch banishes otherworldly evil and heals the sick and wounded. A herald astride a unicorn is proof of divine intervention against forces of evil.
Powerful Reagents. A unicorn’s body is magic made flesh. Its horn, hair, tears, and blood are powerful components for rituals, potions, magical ink, and other enchanted items. A unicorn might sacrifice its body for a noble cause, but those who would slay a unicorn for such power risk divine retribution.

6 If you are on a noble quest, it blesses you and touches its horn to one of your magic items. That item gains a new power: roll on the Lesser Artifact Benefits table chapter. If you are not on a noble quest, it invites you to return when you need the unicorn’s aid
