Wandering Unicorns
History
The Wandering Unicorns came into this existence March, 1983 C.E. At first we were only three brothers of the blade, fighting in common cause. Later, others began to find their home in our circle. Always striving with the highest ideals for ourselves and the lands of Amtgard, we faithfully serve the Dream.
The Unicorns have a proud history.
We were the 4th company-household in Amtgard. Of the first 6 Monarchies, 3 were Unicorns. Of the first 4 Knights through combat skill, 3 were Unicorns. The first Prime Minister, Warlord, Weaponmaster, and Grand Duke of Amtgard were all Unicorns. Of the 4 responsible for creating the Burning Lands, two were Unicorns. We were present at Clan I.
Philosophy
The qualities of the Unicorn are mystery, strength, and compassion. An elusive and noble being only glimpsed within the forest. Only with the purest of desire can a unicorn be approached, and once touched, its essence travels forever with you: You *have been transformed.
To those would travel with us, understand the choice you make. Our journey is not an easy one, but you will never be alone once you enter the Circle
In ancient times the four virtues of Misericordia, Justicia, Pax, Veritas (Mercy, Justice, Peace, Truth) were associated with the Unicorn. It was impervious to the efforts of man. Only purity and innocence were capable of calming and capturing it.
Heraldry
The banner of the Wandering Unicorns has many meanings. The black unicorn head suggests a being of mystery, something from the unknown. It is a creature that is rarely seen, and if then, merely a glimpse or shadow. The gray of the background is the twilight between day and night. A unicorn stands between worlds, neither fully in reality nor in the realm of dreams.
The essence of the Unicorn is within all true and honorable defenders of Life.
