Grifflets

Grifflet
Said to be of Fey descent, they are birdlike people who have adapted themselves to riding the skies with their Griffon companions. Some have feathers and other aerial looking features such as large, slanted eyes or bird-like noses, though many do not. They can be seen in brilliant colors, pointed-beak hats, feathers of their family's tribe, and wielding great weapons only they have been able to master. They can all speak the Aurian, the language of the birds. Aevalla and the close areas surrounding it are the only places these people can be found.

A Grifflet, with all the same qualities of a Fey, can also bond to a Griffon. This is what makes them special. At their coming of age, they are called to a meeting of the Griffon Council, where only he and the griffons may be. They give him a test, and if he passes, one of them will step forth and become his companion. Should he fail, he is thrown from the cliffs to die at the hands of the raging seas below.
