History
The Griffon Empire was created after centuries of war. In the past, all the duchies fought one another for wealth, land, freedom. But now, they created their own empire, with an emperor leading it, bringing peace to these lands for the first time in a long time, that was till the Locust emerged.

Raven Duchy
The Raven Duchy is one of the biggest trading duchies and cities in Kierra. Their capital, Ravencrest, overflows with merchants and goods, but it is also the best thieving underworld. Crime being a major problem there, yet crime seems to increase trading as well. The duchy is both the most useless and most useful duchy for the Griffon empire. Their military forces are zero, but they appear to extend their abilities in espionage and assassination, making them perfect to stop wars before they even start.

Bull Duchy
The Bull Duchy is the strongest and most militaristic duchy of all. Their military power is the biggest in the empire and their blacksmiths the finest. Next to that, they are farmers, big farms taking up their lands outside their cities.

Wolf Duchy
The Wolf Duchy are probably the most intelligent duchy of all. They lack strength in numbers, but can by far make it up with tactics and traps. They tend to use tamers as their soldiers, sending in both men and beast at times of war, making them more intimidating than the Bull duchy, even though they are with much less.

Unicorn Duchy
The Unicorn duchy is, unlike other duchies, very peaceful. In times of war, the only thing they can do is build siege weapons and forts, as they aren't fighters. The unicorn duchy is known to have great architects and artist. Their cities beautiful and full of culture. Magic and engineering equally used and accepted.
