History of the Unicorn Run: Bards and sages pass down the tale that
the headwaters of the Unicorn Run are, in thruth, the Font of Life,
and a cradle of fecundity. Each natural race is said to have emerged
from the womb of Chauntea onto Toril at the river’s source, and then
traveled down the the Unicorn Run to the outside world. Some say
that a daughter of Chauntea resides at the river’s source to usher
the newborns into the world, while others claim that Shialla midwifes
the process.
Regardless of the truth, the elves, korreds, and halflings all agree
that the Unicorn Run is sacred to life and a site of incredible purity.
As a result, all three races have strong taboos about extented trips
up the run, for if the river is ever fouled, then no new races will ever
be born on Spira again.
