The Keep grounds are flocked by phoenix unicorns during the annual pageant. The show is usually held at the beginning of spring when the temperatures are still low enough for it to snow. Even if the phoenix unicorns' feathers do not burn like any other fire, they let off heat, so too many phoenix unicorns gathered in one place during summer would be too warm to bear. Double the size of a usual unicorn, the phoenix variety is a majestic creature, elegant and strong-bodied at the same time. They can set things on fire with a simple touch of their horn, but most people are more interested in their beauty than their magic. Training phoenix unicorn adults is easy, and they love to show off their beautiful feathers to everyone willing to watch. They learn complex routines, taking pride in their hard work when they win a competition. Besides training, the adults love to bask in the sun, sometimes even doing so alongside the winged cats that seem to seek out their companionship.
There are no other unicorns as massive as the phoenix ones. Gorgeous fiery feathers grow on their bodies in shades of orange and red, the males sporting flashier colors than the more natural-shaded ones adorning the females' hides. These feathers are only for aesthetic purposes, rendering the unicorns unable to fly. They have little in common with the phoenix birds, and unlike them, the unicorns do not burst into flames at the end of their life cycle to rise from their ashes. However, once they reach a specific stage in life, the phoenix unicorns stop aging, living for centuries, with their beauty remaining frozen in time. As they can control fire, the phoenix unicorns will set things ablaze when feeling upset or threatened. Despite their size, they are gentle. However, the hatchlings are stubborn and prone to depression, and it is preferred for their training to begin later in their life. Embers are their favorite treat, and they will also not say no to a bowl of fresh, warm wood ashes, especially during cold winter days.
