Eincapra, The Uni-Goat

[ForeverGinger 147]

[!] A thick, leather-bound tome is placed in the Library of the Druids, marked with a note labled "Important". The writing in the book appears to have been copied from several scraps of paper, which would explain the short, fragmented style of writing. You skim over several, important looking passages which read:

 

"-and so, the corruption, insignificant at first, had spread unchecked for generations. This horrid blight grew in strength, leaving crops withered in their fields and entire forests void of life. It was in the midst of this time that the noble Aspects saw it fit to bestow upon our realm a creature to defend and heal in the abscence of the Druii. Cerridwin chose for her purpose the only creature left that could survive nay, thrive in lands touched by this blight. She chose the noble goat. For you see, the disease spread throughout an area, sapping strength from all plant life in the area, all the while sowing seeds of its own. These Blight-Weeds, as they soon became commonly known as, sprouted up in lands afflicted by this pestilence, were tough, prickly stalks with a strong stench prevailing about them-"

 

"-The unsightly weeds would help strangle the life from other plants in the area. The goats, however, took delight in chewing upon these nusances, freeing the land from their encompassing grip. So, the noble Lady of Harvest siezed one of these magnificent creatures and bestowed upon it a portion of her natural energies. The goat grew untill it was sized roughtly the same as a large warhorse. Its coat retained its usual marble coloring of brown, white and black, but became shiny, lustrious and thickly curled. From its chin spouted a magnificent spot of hair, and from its brow erupted a twisting spiral of pure white bone. This new creature was named the Eincapra-"

 

"-the Eincapra was gifted with amazing powers because of the Aspect's blessing. Lush grass and wildflowers spouted whenever it trod upon the earth. Minor corruption would flee from it, and the touch of its breath could restore even the sickest of trees to the glory of their youth. However it is known that the Horn of the Eincapra is its conduit to the energies of nature. Without its horn, the mystical beast is nore more than an abnormaly large goat, albeit one with pretty hair. Eincapra live extrodinarily long, and will give birth to only one child upon their deathbed. Therefore, they are a very rare creature. Very few recorded sightings have been legitimitized, and only one Eincapra is know to exist now-"

 

"-As was earlier stated, the Eincapra's Horn is an extraordiarily powerful object. During the creature's infancy, the horn is short and stubby, but as they grow, Eincapra have been reported bearing horns as long as a man is tall. If given willingly, these bones can be used to make increadibly powerful staffs and wands to aid in Druid Magic. However, if the horn is removed without the consent of the beast, it will release a massive flow of natural energy. The energy can have varied effects, but it will always diffuse into the surrounding area after targeting the one who forcefully remove the horn. Several wanderers have reported sighting of odd statues littering the land in the midst of a lush grove or ripe field. It is theorized that these statues are the remains of those who would remove an Eincapra's horn. "

 

"-It is known that the Eincapra are extremly proud. One would never consent to be held captive by any, and one should not atempt to mount one except in the most dire of circumstances. Eincapra do not breed as normal goats do. Instead, an Eincapra will carry its child with it until its death, where it will give birth with its final breath-"

 

Gaze on in wonder at the majestical gift of the Aspects!

 

 

OOC Shiznits:

The Eincapra may be RPed by a horse of the correct coloring, that's up to the person directing the RP to decide.

Eincapra may NOT be RPed without express permission from one of the "higher up" Druids such as the Head Druid

Eincapra aren't pets, and they would not consent to being held in captivity

An Eincapra has the equivilant to Tier 5 Blight Healing with its horn inact

If you attempt to ride an Eincapra, unless it is ABSOLUTLY necessary, prepare to feel a sharp stabbing sensation in your abdomen.

[OldeTymer 322]

Callax sits back in a rocking chair he formed from the roots of a tree; he holds the leather-bound tome in his hands. The roots creak sotly as he rocks back and forth and reads the tale with a faint and amused grin. Upon completing the story, he closes the book softly and rests it on his lap, just against his staff. With a distant gaze into the forest, he strokes a spindly hand over his beard and ponders over his love for both goats and tales. He examines the conclusion and introduction of the tome for an author's name, but can't seem to find one. "I think I'll keep a copy of this one," he thinks to himself assuredly, "and the original will be kept in our Grand Library!" He continues to rock in the root-chair for a time, waiting for someone to pass by so he might recommend the book to another.
