Alicorn (3.5e Race)

Alicorns

The alicorn is a massive and magnificent winged and horned horse that serve as spiritual and political leaders of the equestrian nation. Alicorns are regal and majestic creatures whose lordly bearing fills all who see it with awe and reverence. They reign as kind monarchs or polyarchs over vast magical kingdoms. A rare few alicorns are demigods, each such alicorn has a singular god-like command over an aspect of nature, be it raising the sun or ensuring the fertility of the soil. And as rulers, each alicorn serve as leaders over their particular kingdom and as almighty protectors for all creatures under their wings. Evil creatures that dare to endanger the livelihood of any vassal under their protection risk the glorious judgement of the alicorn.

Personality

Alicorns are wise and kind creatures who encourage friendship and harmony. They believe in the goodness inherent in all individuals, no matter what past wrongs they have committed. Despite their good nature and patience, they are stalwart in the face of evil and chaos. If an evil creature cannot be reasoned with, an alicorn will mete out justice in the best way possible.
