Well, it seems you are our new ruler or something. I’m Odin of Eagleblood, I been yelling at those incompetent council leaders for years. Perhaps you aren’t as hard-headed.
Military Proposal 1A: Reformation
Our advantage is our flight. Every member of our species can fly. We naturally form a V pattern when in groups. Our fighting force should be built around this.
Flight team: Flight Teams will be composed of three or five soldiers of the Griffonstone Army. Flight Teams are managed by a corporal.
Squad: Squads will be composed of twelve to fifteen soldiers of the Griffonstone Army. They are managed by Sergeant.
Platoon: Platoons will be composed of twenty-five They are managed by Lieutenants and the Unit Corporal.
The Platoon will be the maximum of forces we can manage until more soldiers have come into the fold.
Due to the five sub-species we Griffon have, I have decided to categorize the types of soldiers we have for our Griffon army into three groups: Regular, Elite, and Leaders.
The Regulars are the main group of the army. They are specialized in many roles but they are either weak or strong depending on their roles.
Warrior: The mainline soldiers of the army. They wield a multitude of melee weapons and are the most numerous types of soldiers. Hawks are recommended for this type but other sub-species can join.
Archer: The main ranged soldiers of the army. They wield bows and arrow to fight in long-range and a small knife for close range. Eagles are recommended but other sub-species can join.
Healer: Combat Medic of the army that heals their fellow soldiers but can fight as well. Ravens are recommended but others can join.
Air Fighter: Griffon who can fight in the air. They wield the same types of weapons as Warrior except for heavy weapons. Falcons are recommended but others can join.
Infiltrator: Soldiers who sneak inside enemy bases and either steal important information and/or kill a specific leader. The owl is recommended but others can join.
Elite is the most powerful type of soldier, being so few. A single Elite can be strong as a hundred Regular.
Praetorian Guard: The elite guard of the Leader and important members of Griffonstone. Recruited from members of Regular that showed much promise for the guards. All sub-species can join.
Military Proposal 2: Beast of War
Due to the constant problems, the Talzlwurm has presented to us. I believe we can turn those wurms into beasts of war. Using them to ambush large groups of enemies from the ground.
However, there are a few problems related to this proposal, one of which is a containment unit to cage these wurms until they can be trained. Another is who is qualified to train these wurms until they are ready for combat.
Though several proposals relating to this have shown other animals being used for warfare or construction.
Talzwurms could be bred for meat, and the tough hide could be used in armor if training them proves too difficult.
Odin City Guard Former… Commander.
Bloody idiots fired me for being annoying. HA, you showed them If I was in charge the guard would have been better organized and armed!

Project Golem
There is one flaw in every social system, capitalism, socialism, or any other type. No one wants to do the hard and unpleasant work.
Farming in any society is necessary and back braking labor-intensive. Cultures with no advanced machines are even worse. Sanitation, construction, and all the hard labor mind-numbing thankless tasks that keep a civilization going. Many cultures have dealt with these different ways. Slavery, Feudalism, and even social and communism resorted to just forced labor.
Capitalism has resorted to slavery as seen in the Americas. Once the Americans had their Civil war they used methods of suppression or offering better pay or benefits.
The old U.S.S.R. resorted to suppression of the people, the same as North Korea. Even my own Latveria had its time being suppressed by the tyrant I overthrew.
My solution to this fundamental problem was automation. Even when I took over Latveria my Doombots were more advanced than any robotics system on the planet. Unfortunately here on Equis, I don’t have the tools to manufacturers, my Doombots, even the primitive versions. I don’t even have the tools to make the tools to produce basic robotics.
This planet has something Earth doesn’t have, the oversaturation of magic. Utilizing the Traumic Energy of the planet I can utilize other means of automation.
The oldest stories of golems date to early Judaism. The art of Golem making was lost, that is not an issue to my brilliance.
They would not be as resilient as one of my prized Doombots, but to reorganize and rebuild the Griffon, culture Golems will suffice.
Golems could even help in combat. Unlike the Griffons a mound of magically enhanced clay can take more punishment then organic life. When I see that brute Ben Grimm I must remember to insult him by comparing him to a lump of animated clay. It seems my old foe is inspiring me, perhaps I should design the combat variation on that uncultured Thing.
By using hardened metal as the base frame and reinforcements my improved Golems would be more effective than the animated clay golems that came before.
The only issue is the brain. Golems I know about are primitive more animated puppets then programmable units. One of the main reasons I haven’t resorted to such inefficient types of automatons. This I solved by studying the crystals. They are alive, the large gems the Dragons eat, as well as other such large crystals, seem to be a form of Silicon life. A life that can be trained and taught.
I will be doing more research into the Crystals, it does explain the Crystal tree of Harmony, and perhaps the powers of the Crystal Heart.
Making sure my Crystal controlled Golems don’t rebel will be a challenge.
I believe you mean ‘thaumic’.

Yeah I did thanks for noticing.
Don't sweat it man your doing good keep up the great work and I can't wait to see more
The best form of government is a mixture of USSR and the USA
Well I just facepalmed myself.
It dawned on me that Hans looks like a Slenderman now. I might go back and rewrite his description to better match.
Really it perfect! Hans a Slenderman.

Crystals being a form of life would actually be a great way for explaining why dragons would get so much nourishment from them since more complex forms of life would need more varying and complex forms of nutrients to constitute their more complex 'cell structures'.

I thought of a lot of lore most I doubt would appear in the story.
The Crystal life are like corals where they use the minerals to grow and produce a protective shell. That why in the show the gems look cut in truth they are honeycomb with hundreds or thousands of crystal microbes.
If the colonies get large enough they function like a hive mind. The Crystal Tree of Harmony is an example of this where we see the Tree of Harmony is able to think and communicate. The part of the tree of Harmony is just a tip of the massive underground colony.
The Crystal Empire figured out how to train and encourage growth into the city we see.
A form of the Crystal life microbes can become symbiotic with other creatures. We see this in the Crystal Ponies.

It is good to have a fully fleshed out world, even if you never get to see around any particular block or street where the story doesn't happen. It means you have the makings of a live, breathing world that exist even when the reader goes away. It is a great way to help facilitate immersion.

Thanks it also why I answer comments. I don’t know what will be in the finished story so I don’t mind telling here. It also helps me see where I do need to highlight something.
Oh I edited my earlier post with more of that lore.
JAJAJAJAJA, ACTUALLY what the Buck!!!!
It is the first time that I read a story that the protagonist is not the protagonist but the secondary protagonist in the story and ends up being the butler of the character who is supposed to be.
JAJAJAJA!!
that my friend took me by surprise, in my opinion it is a brilliant and fresh idea.

I just want to highlight a big clue. The Prologue was in the first-person perspective after the story switches to the third-person perspective. This is even done for Hans's POV.
That and the story is titled "DOOM" of Griffonstone.
we Griffon have
are even worse

More like animal labor.
The size of the crystals aren’t large enough for high level intelligence. You would need a super cluster about the size of car for human intelligences.
The Tree of Harmony cluster covers miles, where the one that’s in Mount Canterhorn is even larger.
The Silicon life forms aren’t harmed doing the work they don’t really do the work just move the golem mech suit.
So unlike humans or other workers the golems don’t get tired the individual life form acts more like a nerve cell. As long as he provides the energy source the cluster is happy to play with their mobile home.
I also didn’t mention how he manages them. They could have reasonable hours and sleep during the night when it’s not warm enough for the silicone life to be active.
They don’t need food, water, nor air. They just need heat to survive and if they don’t get that they hibernate. So unlike other workers they don’t suffer from harsh conditions. They also can’t smell so stench isn’t an issue either.
