Ide Messenger School

Ide Messengers call upon the powerful steeds of the Unicorn Clan to allow them to traverse the Emerald Empire (and often beyond) with information useful to their Clan. They do far more than simply carry and deliver messages, however. They carefully interpret these messages to ensure that they convey multiple layers of meaning for both originator and recipient. The grace and subtlety these Messengers display is legendary, and the Messengers make good use of their travels to gather information for their Clan to use both in the courts and on the battlefield.
