The gryphon is a powerful creature that only lives in Summerset Island. It looks like a combination of an eagle and a lion. It comes in many different colors such as black, white, and brown. Before the dragon returned, it had been dominating the sky of the entire Summerset Island. It is also the second largest flying creature known to Nirn after dragons.
Please note. The gryphon is an extremely dangerous bird of prey that preys on everything in Summerset. Although they are relatively rarely interested in people or elves, griffons are perfectly capable of biting off the heads of ill-intentioned intruders before they see them, even cute-looking young griffons. Easily pecks out human fingers. Gryphons have powerful beaks and limbs that can easily tear apart other beasts in Summerset. Their wings are strong and powerful, and they can stay in the air and take off quickly, or they can dive at high speeds like hawks and kill the enemy with one strike. The feathers of the griffon contain some kind of wind magic power, which allows the griffin to create a strong whirlwind when it flaps its wings, which not only helps it fly but also can be used to attack enemies. Because of its magical power, the feathers of the griffin are extremely precious. Alchemical materials.
Although it looks like a hybrid between an eagle and a lion, the griffin's living habits are closer to those of an eagle. Griffons are monogamous (please kill them, adults). They will stay together for life unless their partner dies. They will choose to build nests in steep mountains, lay eggs and hatch their young in the nest, and the parents will bring food to the nest. Feed until the pups have fledged and can fly freely. Unlike other raptors, the parent-child relationship between griffins is equally close. Even after they grow up, parents will maintain a long-term close relationship with their children. Sometimes older griffon cubs will even help take care of their younger siblings when their parents are away. (Oh my god, please wait a moment, adults, it seems to be useful). The lifespan of a griffon is long enough to be associated with a high elf for half a lifetime. Although extremely ferocious, griffins can also become the most loyal companions if they are nurtured from young.
The high elves of Summerset Island began to try to tame griffins very early and finally succeeded in taming some griffins (although most of them were still wild) to be used as war beasts. It is said that Sunhold, the frontline fortress on Summerset Island to defend against the invasion of sea elves, has domesticated a group of griffins to fight against the sea elves.
It should be noted that wild griffins are usually only the size of a wild horse and are not large enough to carry an adult for heavy flight, so most domesticated griffons are only used as combat partners rather than mounts. But there are always exceptions to everything. After the efforts of previous generations, the most elite knights in Summerset Island, the Sky Child (Elvish: Welkynar), have a special set of breeding methods that can cultivate wild griffins into powerful enough to carry people. giant gryphon. The size of this griffon is only slightly smaller than that of a giant dragon, and it can easily carry people flying. After special one-on-one training with its master, the giant griffon can establish a magical bond with its master, use magic similar to its master's attributes, and stay with its master for life until one of them dies.
However, this cultivation system is quite complex. Coupled with strict selection, the number of Sons of the Sky almost never exceeds single digit. But this does not affect their status as the only Griffin Knights in Summerset Island, becoming one of the most respected organizations on the island. As the most powerful warrior/battle mage in Summerset Island, the Son of the Sky is responsible for protecting the security of Summerset Island and also accepts entrustment from the military when necessary.
Just imagine, a griffin family that takes care of its cubs with all their heart and soul, and even when the cubs become adults, they remain close to their parents. The parents usually go out to forage for food, but also return to the nest to take care of their young. How could they abandon the unhatched griffon eggs? Therefore, this griffin egg was most likely stolen from the Gryphon Aerie by a Khajiit merchant.
And there have been rumors that someone outside Summerset Island bought griffon eggs at a high price. Many wood elves living on the island will take desperate risks and climb steep rock walls to steal griffon eggs.
Needless to say, everyone on the farm knew the origin of this egg. Even moon candy can be sold generously, and a "Highland Ostrich Egg" of unknown origin, what can't a Khajiit merchant not sell?
Very reasonable.
Besides, in his young mind, this little griffon always regarded himself as a chicken. Treat the hen that went through all the trouble to hatch it as a blood relative. All habits are exactly the same as those of Ximu hens.
Some people may worry about what to do if a perfectly good raptor becomes useless.
how come? Oh my gosh, that's a Ximu hen! The Ximu hen known as the Chicken God!
If you don’t believe me, why don’t you try killing a Ximu hen? Teach you how to be a good person in minutes.
Having said that, no matter whether this little griffon is an ordinary wild griffin or a giant griffin. There is a strong bond between it and Elsa Blackthorn: "Gryphon Rider·Elsa Blackthorn".
The lord and his wife Gisei Siying climbed up the stairs and entered the Baihe Mountain cave.
As far as the eye can see, there is a cage area where countless iron cages are piled up. It originally contained various wild beasts and hostages captured after robbing the caravan. Although the blood-stained cage is now empty. However, the gloomy atmosphere still makes people feel a deep chill.
"Because the werewolves will be imprisoned in the future, there is no need to dismantle it." The Lord quickly adjusted his mood.
"My dear master, wouldn't it be enough to kill him once and for all?" Deathstroke Elena Lucretia smiled and winked.
"Most cases of lycanthropy can be cured." The Lord smiled and said: "So the purpose of imprisoning werewolves is not to skin them, but to cure lycanthropy."
"You can also skin them at the same time." Skinner Kleve said honestly: "Sir, I'll tell you the truth. Just like shearing sheep, werewolves can be skinned every once in a while."
"Ah?" Wu Chen was also shocked: "Could it be that you imprisoned the werewolves at Gallows Rock to skin them repeatedly?"
"Yes, sir." Skinner Kleve said with a frank look: "A complete piece of leather is worth 10 gold coins, and a complete werewolf skin is worth 1,000 gold coins. The giant werewolf skin is worth 3,000 gold coins. The demon werewolf just now. I estimate I can sell the skin for 5,000 to 10,000 Septins."
"It is indeed a shortcut to getting rich." Wu Chen sighed with a complicated mood. Therefore, the Silver Hand's hunting and raising of werewolves does have great economic benefits.
"Do werewolves feel pain when skinned?" The housekeeper knew what the lord was thinking.
"In order to obtain an intact werewolf skin, the werewolf must be comatose. So madam, they can't feel pain when peeling the skin." The skinner Ke Leif obviously spoke from experience: "When you wake up, you will have turned back. A human being whose body is wrapped in a linen shroud. It will take about one to three months to recover and can be skinned again."
"..." Although the Lord Lord has nothing to say, he is still convinced in his heart.
The history of cruel struggles between fur hunters and Indian tribes in North America also has this reason. At the beginning of the founding of the North American colonies, furs were the bulk of foreign trade and were supplied in large quantities to the European luxury goods consumer market. The indiscriminate killing in pursuit of furs aroused angry revenge from North American Indians. Cutting off the scalps of captured white people and then hanging them was a sign of Indian barbarism and uncivilization. What actually started out as a vendetta against fur trappers then expanded to include all white colonists.
Of course, in the storyline world of "The Elder Scrolls" under the shelter, even ordinary fur has a weak magical protective effect. And it is right that "magic skins" such as werewolf skins, which have significant magical affinity, are expensive. It is completely in line with the laws of market economy.
"By the way, Master." Speaking of werewolves, the housekeeper remembered another thing: "The chief hunter Farndal said that the campfire hunters received the whispers from the hunting god. It was said that the werewolf Sindin and all those who heard the 'hunting god's whisper' Campfire hunters are participating in a blood moon hunt."
