Griffins are spread far and wide across the Capital. A once plentiful species, griffins were forced into hiding when hunters started searching for their silky pelts.

There's a rumor about the true identity of griffins. Some say that a griffin is a Fallen god, unable to return to their original form after Falling from the Capital. Others say that griffins come from the shooting stars seen every so often.

How close the mortals have come to the truth...

True griffins are simply griffins. The symbol of the Capital, griffins are worshipped across the mortal realm.

However, some griffins are unlucky gods who were pushed off the edge of the Capital. The Fall painfully transforms the god into a griffin. In most cases, the Fall alone kills the god. Survivors are trapped in this form unless commanded, " ** *** ***** ** *** ******, *****!"
