Thats a rather good question. I like the idea of Unicorns being living
Sources.
A while back I asked myself, "What happened to the horses at Mt.
Deismaar?" It seemed to me that they would have absorbed some "God
Essence". I was planning on making a list of bloodpowers and abilities
for equines but after realizing what a massive undertaking it would be,
decided against it.

There's some information about the BS pegasus on page 119 of the Blood
Enemies book.

Thats where I'm sure I first heard about Dragons containing the power of a
Source. I believe it was right around issue #230, in an article about a
Cerilian Dragon. Only later had I heard it was mentioned in the BoM.
Although I've never seen it there myself(in truth I haven't looked for it
there).
Reffering back to my original Post, the Unicorn of Ilien(specifically the
Erebannien)has been seen for centuries, even before the battle at Mt.
Deismaar. And is known to arrive during times of trouble. Could this be the
same Unicorn? Isn't more likely that it is a Unicorn from a herd of them
that dwells somewhere, and it has been a different Unicorn each time? What
if Cerilian Unicorns are naturally invisable and always act as if affected
by a "Pass Without Trace" spell, this would allow these creatures to live
undetected in the Erebannien. The legends surrounding this forest show that
anyone entering these woods can feel an almost magical aura in those woods.
Another sign of the Unicorn's presence? Could they have something to do with
the connection between these woods and the Shadow World? And do they have
powers beyond that of standard Unicorns? Although its unlikely that we will
guess the answers correctly, I'm just wondering what everyone thinks about
this situation.
And one has to wonder about the Pegasus. Could Haelyn's steed been spending
all these years alone in the Seamist Mountains? Maybe he has taken mates in
the years past, and somewhere in a seculeded valley a small herd of Pegasi
await a noble call. Finding this valley could be the stuff of heroic
ballads. Again any thoughts?

Is that gonna start a "Is my mount blooded ? and could I know tell ?"
thread. What about breeding blooded horses ? Guess this will really

In the Roesone source book, one of the sources that the Count of
Ilien controls is a buried dragon's skeleton. The dragon died
years ago, but its carcass still eminates power.

Cold sweets. You dump frozen gummy-bears in their beds while they
sleep? :-)

It's definately somewhere in the Birthright stuff, maybe on the
cardsheet about Cerilian Dragons.
