KingGriffin

In the great darkness King Griffin sought refuge for the Votanki? people from the terrors that stalked the land. He met Orlanth? and and riddled with him and won and in return he gained the use of Orlanth's air rune within the Elder Wilds. With this he changed the select of his people into winged lions that would protect the rest of his people. After the darkness the griffins settled on the tip of a lone mountain in the centre of the Elder Wilds that became known as Griffin Mountain?. The people settled at the foot of the mountain where there were great caverns and delvings dating from the Great Darkness?, where unknown terrors dwelt. In time the trolls came to dominate the Elder Wilds and Griffin Clan was forced to flee the mountain and move into the plains of Votankiland. King Griffin is still the sky god of the Elder Wilds and Land of Balazar. He protects the Elder Wilds from the nomads of Pent? - horseflesh is a favourite of the griffins. His cult has a rivalry with the cult of Orlanth? which would always like to reassert its control over the sky of the Elder Wilds.
