Hello one and all! And welcome to Icaredes. Land of the Griffins and Lupenats.
Here is the little study i made of the griffess in Icaredes, griffens vary from a golden-eagle/lioness to a Siamese-finch. Griffens live in flocks or family groups. Once long ago they’d lived in territories established by scents and fighting, but in modern day they now live in kingdoms marked in bloodlines and battles.
In the kingdoms there are ruling queens and kings who are established by their royal blood or by their battles. A common way to gain a throne is to fight the current ruler of the land. One of the longest reining families is known as the “Leonian” family or the “Phynianx” family. Rumored to have ruled since the Great Fall (thousands of years ago). The family has been pure lion-eagle for their entire bloodline, and but mixing their blood with other families (such as Siamese or Swans) they lose their connection to their all powerful goddess, Hestea Haven Phynianx.
The four of the Eclipse gifts given to the griffins are Winter, Hypnosis, Darkness, and Flame magic (although now named Pheonix). Given to the special species known for helping the griffin goddess and god’s child, Eclipsen to create the Order of the Moon.
While the Phynianx is a prominent family name, so are the branching houses below:
Ambrevin: the house of Peacocks & Pumas (once tigers), they were known for their hypnotic abilities with their tail feathers. They aren’t the only griffens species capable of hypnosis, although their control over it is very powerful. (Bengals [small], Tigers, Owls, and Jaguars all have minor control over it)
Aquarius: while technically a minor family, swans-jaguars, the Aquarius still hold great power in the arts (they also once had a water affinity but lost it for unknown reasons). Even though they’re performers, they still hold the titles of royalty in their own lands owned by their ancestors.
Demetrias: the Siamese family (the only family branch that as long as your part siamese, you have some access to the family fortunes). Owning very high amounts of gyns due to being distributors of silk and other fabrics.
Meladora: lost to the previous wars of time, (such as the Great Fall, and War of Haven Claws) the Meladora family are the caracle-peregrines, currently the only known survivor in this family is Duchess Sparence, although her title is unnofficial. Due to the outbreak of the Haven Curse (an illness) her children and grandchildren died and she was left as the only known survivor of her family flock.
Pandora: with notable similarities, the Pandora’s are the branch off of the Meladora’s with griffin species , the barn owls-pumas. The spies of the Soln Kingdom.
While these aren’t all the families, they are the primary blood flocks of the Soln Kingdom. This is some of the bio of the griffin species in the land of Icaredes, next I’ll move onto the Lupenats, then the Ruin Foxes, and so on.
So um. My apologies for my bad handwriting. But if you have any questions, go ahead and feel free to ask!
