⚠️ CONTENT NOTE:
This documentary presents unicorn mythology as documented in historical texts, medieval bestiaries, and cultural legends. While we've focused on verified historical sources and real artifacts (like the tapestries and coat of arms), the magical elements reflect ancient beliefs rather than scientific fact. Luna's specific traits are part of our Arcane Acres world!
