Guide to the Urban Unicorns of Fairtree

Welcome to Fairtree! Curious about its famous urban unicorns? Here are some tips to help keep the most ardent unicorn fan safe.

• Each unicorn is a sentient individual, and should be respected as such. Don't throw things at them, snap photos unexpectedly, or chase them around.
• The unicorns are also wild creatures. Don't attempt to get closer to them without their invitation. If you annoy or threaten them, and they can't easily escape, they will attack. Note: Fairtree Visitor free health coverage only extends to two lifetime instances of unicorn-related injury.
• If you wish to make an offering or gift to a unicorn, a small piece of art you made with sincerity (no matter the skill level) is universally appropriate. Leave the piece exposed to the sky where your favored unicorn is known to roam, and they may accept and consume it when they come across it. Please make sure to retrieve the blanked medium promptly if you wish to preserve it as a souvenir, and don't take it too hard if they reject your offering; all the unicorns have their own moods and tastes.
• Particular unicorns may tolerate other limited interactions; see below.

Unicorns for the Unicorn Watcher

(ranked by general accessibility)

1. Unicorn Calliope: If you simply want to see a unicorn and be allowed to take photographs, Calliope remains the most approachable, graciously opening her home, Iroval Grove, to a limited number of visitors most days of the week. Tickets are easy to come by via Safety and Security if you plan in advance. While there is no guarantee of interaction with or attention from Calliope, if you spot her while roaming the Grove, you are free to take pictures--and she stops to speak with a few visitors many evenings. Note: Guests should not leave the paths within Iroval, as Calliope is not the Grove's only wild inhabitant. Any injury sustained within Iroval qualifies as a unicorn-related injury.
2. Unicorn Ikon: Ikon, most often found in Broomfleet, has the most history of physical and psychic contact with visitors, much of it friendly. However, he is unpredictable, and sometimes too friendly, and the risk for psychic injury is quite real. Unless you are well prepared to deal with uncertain consequences, we encourage keeping the usual distance. As with Calliope, photographs are permitted and perhaps even welcomed, as Ikon has been known to pose dramatically with only a little encouragement. Note: Ikon appreciates fine alcohol as a gift but please be sparing with it.
3. Unicorn Glyph: The guardian of Colorfaire, Glyph is not hard to glimpse if you spend a day at the Faire Market enjoying the art scene. However, despite how comfortable he seems with human companionship, and even if he he passes within a few feet of you, please follow the standard rules and do not try to get closer or touch him. A significant number of unicorn-related injuries every year come from too-enthusiastic fans getting cozier than Glyph is comfortable with.
4. Unicorn Dragon: Dragon roams Watercrown. While he's aggressive and territorial, he takes no notice of respectful distant observers. He is also the only unicorn known to sign 'autographs', leaving hoofprints in exchange for the artistic offerings of children. However, the majority of unicorn-related injuries are connected to Dragon, as he is one of the easiest unicorns to offend, targeting both litterers and vandals who deface government property.
5. Unicorn Sigil: The youngest and most popular unicorn, Sigil is most likely to be found in one of the many craftsman neighborhoods; actually encountering her as a visitor is generally a matter of luck. She occasionally stops to ask questions of children or working artisans, but she is as physically shy as most of her kin and does not like being approached, nor does she welcome photography without permission.
6. The last three unicorns, Aura, Rune and Midnight, are unlikely to be encountered in any safe situation. If you believe Midnight is near, and it's night, immediately seek safety indoors and stay there until morning. If you're in the Empty District and you spot Rune, proceeding calmly in the opposite direction may save your life in more ways than one. (At the very least, do not under any circumstances follow her.) As for Aura, she is not known to be dangerous, but she is well-known for her retiring nature and her ability to hide from curious gazes, and less than ten sightings are reported per year.
