Skirting the edge of the Princess Rule

Looks like a Knights Templar has just beheaded Jesus the Christ or John the Baptist.

The beheaded looks like a Muslim guy for me.
 
unicorns aren't fluffy. Back when I was playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion I couldn't bring myself to kill the unicorn as part of a morally dubious quest and decided to keep it as a steed instead. It was very powerful so it made a useful ally, despite its tendency to wander off if left alone. Unfortunately it got psychotic against anyone drawing a weapon, including soldiers who were helping me out against marauders, so I had to kill it in the end :(.

So anyway, I think that gives a nice alternative vision of unicorns – untameable nature/druid-aligned beasts with a screwed-up idea of pacifism.
 
The earliest descriptions of a Unicorn pretty clearly matched the Indian Rhinoceros. I doubt those would be banned by the princess rule. Aren't there already some Rhinos in the game?

Might be interesting to steal some ideas from Steven Erikson's Forkrul Assail; bringing peace by killing everyone else.
