Aurellian Gryphons

A unique breed of Gryphons that make their home in the mountains of the Duchy of Aurellia. Prized amongst the Aurellians and Alteraci both, for their great size and black-speckled feathers, many a great lord has ridden one of these intelligent beasts into battle. The Skysplitter Clan trap and tame these creatures for their liege lord, the Duke of Aurellia, who makes use of the Gryphons as he sees fit.

The Aurellian Gryphons have a pack mentality unique amongst to their breed, which sees them hunt in large groups, making them all the more dangerous. These packs or flocks, call them what you wish, are lead by a Grand Gryphon, which is often the largest of its kin. Grand Gryphons are considered to be a magnificent prize by the Skysplitter Dwarves, though one has not been tamed for centuries.
