Importance of griffons
Griffons are common in Taryn, both among the knights who use them are battle mounts as well as the commonfolk and mercenaries. The use of griffons is a tradition that dates back to before the founding of Taryn. When an orc fleet attempted to plunder the settlement of Wilrijk, the hero Joran led a group of griffon mounted warriors against them. Since then, the griffon has been the symbol of the Taryn monarchy, and anyone paired with a griffon has been considered a person of worth.
