Unicorn Clan Warrior

Dai Tsuchi (Great War hammer)

The days of flowing plains and rolling hills are long gone for the unicorn clan.  Their once magnificent horses of old are now extinct or unusable as beast of war or burden.  The Unicorn Clan saw this plight coming long ago and took measures then to secure their clans proud history of mounted soldiers.  Indeed they are the only mounted soldiers in existence now.  Their flesh and bone mounts now replaced by wood, metal, and leather constructs.  It is a rare art to create such a steed and only Unicorn Clan Warrior is capable of such craft.  They train on the barren wastelands that surround their mobile fortress of a city.  Bound by a blend of elemental spirits their mounts are infused with a life unlike normal constructs.  The rumble of the thundering herd can be felt for miles when the Unicorn Calvary is on the move.  The old weapon of choice the lance has been set aside in place of a new era and a new foe.  The Unicorn Clan Warrior wields the Dai Tsuchi in battle and woe to any set upon by the charge.
