The kingdom of Grifo Rhea.
Grifo Rhea has a population of five millions Griffins and ten thousand other species.
The kingdom is collapsing due to economy, because it's the only kingdom around until Tom and Maria arrive, the two kingdoms are trading partner.
Grifo Rhea are able to get wealth while Geyser (this is the name of the kingdom of Tom and Maria, if you don't like it tell me.) able to get resources,
Grifo Rhea is mostly made of hunting community, mostly in fishing, because it next to the ocean, it has couple of mining and lumber mills scattered across the country.
The history of Grifo Rhea is mostly is peaceful but like most country, it has some bloody chapter in it.
Grifo Rhea was founded by a baron. The baron was on the run from his king who decided to try to kill him. Because the Baron secretly met with the king daughter.
When the King discovered this. He told the Baron to stay away. But the Baron refused. So the king sent an assassin to poison the Baron but accidentally poisoned the Baron brother.
When the Baron discovers his brother was murdered he feared the king was responsible. So he told his subject to build ships strong enough to handle the waves and challenge the wind. He didn't think about speed of the boat just the durability. he told the princess to come with him. The princess agreed. The princess snuck out of the castle.
So when the King discover his daughter was missing. He sent 10 of his best Knight to retrieve her and to kill the Baron.
So when the ships was ready the Baron went to get his family, but it was already too late, his keep was burning and his family was slaughtered.
The Baron and the princess got on one of the ships and most of the peasants went in the rest of the ships.
With only 10 ships they set sail. They thought they got away, but the King has another idea, he sent all of his fastest ship to capture them. The Baron couldn't outrun them.
So the Baron decide to go in a massive storm to lose the King's ships, only the Baron ships survive brutal storm.
3 Months pass at sea.
A mutiny happens at one of the ships. The peasant at the ships say they want to go back.
But the Baron threatened them to sink their ship, the peasants reply with a surrender and hand back the ship to the captain.
A month pass at sea
And a ship gets affected by diseases.
Half of the ship population is dead or affected, the survival decided to kill the affected and throw them overboard.
Two week pass and a ship is caught on fire.
They were able to stop the fire, but the damage is already done. The ship sank taking most of the crew and subject down within. Only a couple handfuls survive.
A weeks later they landed on unknown land.
In a couple of months they would built a settlement, but their trouble are far from over.
When they finally build a settlement.
Other inhabitant of the land decide to prey on them.
So when a Diamond dog clan attack the small settlement.
They retaliate with force destroying the diamond dog.
The Baron decided to train his ragtag militia, by doing so making his militia into a real army.
In one year they took over more territory from other diamond Dog.
So years have passed and the Baron decided to propose to the princess. the princess accept and they move into the new castle in the new capital. In a couple months they have the first child. A male strong Griffin, because the princess and the Baron are married, it makes them king and queen and also the child the prince.
Skip to 43 years later.….
The prince has married a lovely female Griffin and has two daughters and a son
The lower class are revolting, the rich are seen corrupt and are hang, the royal family response with imprisoning the Griffins who took part of this Act.
It took 1 years to stomp this out.

Only 5 months of ruling.
A revolution break out.
The revolution group called the new feather try to attempt on the king life but fails misery result in one of them to be captured and torture then later hang.
The country become separated and collapse into Civil War.
The fighting are between Grifo Rhea loyalist and New Feather Republic Of Grifo Rhea or N,F,R,G.
(sounds almost like the USSR, just without Communist and monarchy losing. Because this one the monarchy won.)
The war is bloody with no side seams to be winning until a loyalist stumble upon secret documents during his patrol.
With the new information the loyalist were able to destroy the revolution group and unite the country once more. But there are rumors that some of the leader of N,F,R. Were able to escape to somewhere else.
The 10 years old war was finally over.
But the ideas and losses made by the N,F,R. Stayed.
So years have passed, but so the era of peace, peace seems like a distant dream to most, but to others didn't matter. But to some it did.
The country is the pollen, the war was the bee, the bee may have took the pollen, but it did bring it to the flower, out came the flower
Prince Eduardo and his two sisters.
The first immigrants are pony, Minotaur, zebra, other. trade is disappearing.
Fast forward to 7 years.
Eduardo was….. how do I say it, a smart trickster child, he knows how to mess with everygriffin and doesn't forget anything. So when his father told him he will buy a castle when he's 6, Eduardo remember and he was just 3 years old.
Skip to 10 years.
The king and queen parish in a fire at the castle.
Nogriffin knew how it happened, but some speculated it was to remain of N,F,R.
(It not anymore the N,F,R,G, because because they lost)
The fire spread through the castle under 10 minutes so it wasn't a accident.
The young Eduardo became King the next day with the old king best friend as a advisor.
The first problem he must dealt with is increasing attacks of diamond dog, Eduardo order a mass attack against the diamonds dog clan,
The solutions has worked for 5 years and he gained more resources and territory and also subjects,
Until he meets a diamond dog nation name Pelts.
Eduardo doesn't like the Pelts, so he wants to destroy them, but the pelts are more closer together, he realize he can't attack one massive city with almost all the population of the Pelts in it. He cannot burn the stone and dirt the city is made of and the 35 foot wall. So he waits.
In two years he gets married and his wife get pregnant. But the economy is collapsing. But he doesn't want to trade with the Pelts. It seems the country is due to collapse to economy failure. until Eduardo hears is about the new country, not losing this opportunity he sent one of his best merchants to this country, he hopes that he's able to trade with them. Only time will tell.
