Gryphon Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 (edited) Gryphon: A fabulous beast with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion. This specimen has a fine golden brown pelt that matches his wings perfectly and sometimes carrys a shimmery gleam that defies explanation at least as far as colour goes. Well read and knowledgeable in the ways of magic and the manipulation of magical force Gryphon is a traveller who has come to this land by way of a magical portal and has found friendship here. ~History~ A brief spot of history: Many eons ago a great mage who's name has long since been lost to history created a new species of creature. A marvelous meld of lion and eagle created by and infused with the very essence of magic the mage named his creation a gryphon and so a new race was born. Time passed and evolution took it's path shaping and growing the species of the gryphons to civilization, growing their abilities in arts and culture. Magic was one of the tools of their society used as naturally as breathing - and so it was for a race who's very being and creation was bound by magic. The mage gift bred true in all gryphonic offspring - sometimes weaker, sometimes greater, but always, always there and used often. As is common with the young of many species gryphonic young often go abroad to see what there is to see, to gain knowledge of this world and sometimes gain knowledge of other realms also. One such seeker of knowledge found a magical portal to another realm. Being the curious type and a powerful enough mage to activate a magic portal, the young gryphon known amongst some as 'Skydancer' activated the portals magic without so much as a by-your-leave or any thought of where it was going to take him... The magical passage between worlds took forever and an instant, as these things are wont to do and afterwards the young gryphon found himself in a wonderful new place - the lands surrounding The Mighty Pen. Time and experimentation revealed some alterations to the gryphonic mage. Possibly attributed to the new land, or maybe linked to the passage through the intense magic of the portal to these new lands. Taking to the air to get a better feel for the lay of the land Gryphon Skydancer saw in the distance signs of life - a keep, known as home to many - surely able to welcome another.
