The Classique Boucle Unicorn originates from the Kingdom of Unicornia, in a different dimension to our own. It is believed that boucles roamed the wild mountain range and forests of the peaceful country. It is also said that the first unicorn came to the humans in a great time of need, blessing their fields and lakes with fertility that had been long gone. It made itself at home there, eventually bringing its brethren to the kingdom and tying bonds with the humans.
Though having a permanent home with the humans came with a price; the unicorns could no longer use the powerful magic of their ancestors and in time their brilliant minds diminished closer to that of a normal horse. Though the present day boucle unicorns are smarter than the average equine, they are far from the unicorns of old.
In recent history, Unicornia had fallen into hard times – the first unicorns blessing had worn thin and they were struggling to feed themselves with the little they had left – therefore the King opened up exports of the Boucle Unicorn to different realms to get their economy blossoming again! The Kingdom is slowly returning to its former glory.
In the Earth Year of October 2020, the giant Bataille Boucle type were re-discovered after they escaped Unicornia from their warmongering owners. These animals were bred specifically for battle in the war between the King and his brother many decades ago. Many were still wearing remnants of tack, nose rings and other accessories when caught by adventurers from other realms by decree of the King. Batailles are feared by the King and they are not welcome in Unicornia.
Recently, in the Earth Year of June 2021, the King decided to allow the export of his personal Boucle type, the Palais. He invited many people from across the realms to his Midsommar Festival where he gifted and sold many animals from his Palais stock. Some theorise he decided to do this to raise funds for the crown in case of another war after the return of the Bataille.
