Griffins
No mere beast, it was a majestic fusion: the piercing gaze and powerful wings of an eagle atop the imposing body of a lion. These weren’t just predators; they were the guardians of a treasure fit for a king – the rich deposits of gold nestled within the mountains of Scythia.
Their keen eyes surveyed the land, their presence a fearsome deterrent to any who dared covet the glittering riches they protected. Their legend whispered of unmatched ferocity and unwavering loyalty, a formidable challenge for any who dared trespass on their domain.
