For other uses, see sacred kirin.

The sacred kirin is a creature in Might & Magic: Heroes VI. It is the champion creature of the Sanctuary faction, and is the upgraded version of the kirin.

A Sacred Kirin is only to be found deep within the Spirit World, and rarely materializes on Ashan. The only way to commune with them is to bathe naked in the magical springs of Shalassa found on the highest island of Hashima. The petitioner must then take a literal leap of faith by jumping off the mist-shrouded rocks, praying for the spirit to hear them and interrupt their deadly fall.OffBck

“Where it walks, the water of the sky falls in thundering acclaim to its purity.” The Eternal Empress is said to sleep in a bed decorated with silk sheets, embroidered with images of the terrible Hailstorm Aura of the Sacred Kirins. Though the Empress slumbers in perfect warmth, those who have battled against these powerful spirits speak only of the tremendous cold they felt when the storm it summons hit them.

“The Kirin is born of water, and like the rain, cannot be harnessed.” In an ancient Naga bestiary, discovered by the Necromancer Sveltana during her legendary journey across the Jade Ocean, the painting that accompanied these words showed a magnificent Kirin moving with determination through a forest of fierce warriors. On the battlefield, she later discovered that the Kirin`s legendary powers were more than a fable, as even the most powerful magic could not hinder the spirit`s swift and graceful movements.
The Sacred Kirin is immune to effects reducing Movement and Initiative.OffBck
