In the Heralds of Faerûn, the office of Unicorn was one of the High Heralds and the oldest and most revered. The holder of this office could set policy and his or her judgement took precedence in debates over Herald business, which could only be overruled by a unanimous vote from a quorum of the other High Heralds. By tradition, Unicorn had the first right to cry and judge all contests of honor, whether ceremonial, ritual, or personal single combat, except for those involving great cats or horses, mules and other creatures related to horses. Unicorn was allowed to live in the opulent mansion known as Herald's Hall, deep under Mount Sklagarra on lake Swordsmere.
