------------- The Gryphonlords

You all know of the Dragonmasters, men and women of such great discipline and devotion, they have become the very spirit of the draconian lords. Be they good or evil, they are undeniably powerful. Their devotion to the dragon Gods gives them their strength, their magic, and their ability to assume dragonshape and summon dragons to their bidding. But dragons have an enemy, an ancient feud that goes back beyond time itself. Dragons and Gryphons are blood enemies.

Somewhere along the road of evolution, so some would say, the gryphon was left behind. Where the Dragon grew strong and huge and gained sentience and harnessed the powers of elemental magic, the gryphon was trapped as no more than an animal. Dragonmasters and those who idolize them may think this, but others know better.

In the ancient world, before man and dragon became allies, mankind was plagued by the saurian lords. They would raze entire kingdoms, destroy everything in their path, then demand gold and jewels in payment for their mercy. Great heroes tried to stand against them and died. Some succeeded and became legends. Dragonlsayers they were called. But unbeknownst to the common man, the real heroes of those long ago days were the chosen of Zeus and Ra, those wanderers of the wilds that had befriended the mightiest of beasts, the ultimate natural predator, the gryphon. The hunting hounds of Zeus they were called in Atheaen lands. The divine wrath of Ra in the sands of Symballa. Those who mastered the gryphon, who learned the arts of shapeshifting into one and summoning then, were the Gryphonlords. They were all but wiped out ages ago, their secrets lost. But whispers in the air have reached my ear. The Gryphonlords have returned. They will stand before the might of the Dragon Kings, and bring the world back into balance.
