| A brief guide to the Gryphons. Geography. The Gryphon nation consists of Estregales and Lyonesse, two large countries adjacent to each other in west of the major continent of Edreja, Lyonesse to the north is a lush green country with a major mountain range running down it�s centre. Estregales to the south, which includes the nation of Portregales is a drier land, including areas of dry scrubland nearing on desert. Also part of the Gryphon lands are the Empire islands of the south coast of Estregales. The lands are ruled as one nation form the capital at Narbonnes in southern Lyonesse. The major ports are Lyon in Lyonesse, Port Durak in Estregales and Trafalgar in Portregales. Politics. �Honourable where possible, ruthless where necessary� The Gryphon motto. A regent elected by the noble families of the Gryphon lands rules the Gryphon lands; the current Lady Gryphon is Lady Josephine. Each of the nation of Estregales and Lyonesse still have monarchies but each of these have given up their rule to the Gryphon nation, they still retain a semblance of power in their own countries but are merely figureheads. The foreign policy of the Gryphons is a slightly hesitant one, whilst the Gryphons are a nation dedicated to the light they are by no means �good� certainly they will do the right thing is possible, but firstly they do the right thing for the faction. Current allies include the Unicorns and the Lions. Current enemies include the Vipers, Bears and the Tarantulas. The Gryphons are a proud people, a noble people, and a passionate people. With a history of struggles and overcoming fearsome objectives. |
