Gryphons are one of the species able to bond with humans and sharing their mostly mindwork powers with them.
General Information[]
Gryphons are half-eagle, half-lion creatures. They are capable of channeling powers to their riders. However, they are not capable of powering wards. They don't tolerate altitude well because they can't handle the thinner air at higher altitudes. Dragons can channel more power than gryphons, making the riders of Navarre's abilities, both lesser magic and signet abilities, superior.
Gryphons die when they're flier dies.[1] They fly in groups, called drifts, in seven or less fliers to patrol Poromiel. Fliers train at Cliffsbane Flight Academy in Zoyla, much like cadets at Basgiath War College, but statistically the fliers have a much better chance at surviving till graduation than dragon riders.
After the fall of Zoyla in Iron Flame, a third of the gryphons and their fliers took shelter in Cordyn with Viscount Tecarus.[2] These fliers were later relocated to Riorson House to train with the Revolution members.
Physical Description[]
Gryphons are half-eagle and half-lion creatures. They're seven-feet tall with two-foot long beaks. They have dark beady eyes, back paws, razor-sharp talons, and a lion-like tail. Their hard beaks transition into a feathered chest.[3] Their fur is brown and white, and some have silver on their wings.[4]
