For centuries, the Gryphonic Union has ruled over the whole of griffon territories and under the Union's rule peace and stability have reigned over the griffon people. But now, with the assassination of their chancellor, the nation finds itself divided by those who wish to maintain the Union, those who believe it is time for a change and those who simply seek to gain power. And in the middle of all the betrayal and lies, is a single griffon who just wants to save his people from themselves.
But unknown to the both griffon people and their would-be-hero, forces beyond their knowledge have ties in the affairs of their struggling nation.
