BACKGROUND

This malevolent beast stalks the northern highlands, preying on caravans. While superstitious locals regard it as a messenger from some evil, vengeful god, most dwarves recognize the being as a minion of an infamous nascent demon lord, which escaped from his master’s prison. The dwarves lambaste the elves for their failure to keep the beast within its prison, for with his journey to their mountains, this beast has developed a keen taste for dwarven flesh, causing many of the stout inhabitants of the dwarven city to fear straying too far from the settlement’s protective walls. Even horse flesh and hippogriff meat do not tempt the savage griffon, whose demonic taint has turned him wicked, powerful, and hungry.
