The Griffins of Akkylannie were a still young people when the Cynwäll elves, hoping to have a new ally againstDarkness, revealed the secret of gunpowder to them. Today, the Griffins thrive under the leadership of the

Church and the only god Merin: on one side with the Templars, champions of the Light; on the other with theInquisitors, seekers of the heresy; secretly with the Lodge of Hod, hunters of the horrors created by Dirz.

Description

The Griffins are an iconic Confrontationarmy by the looks of their armours. Andindeed, they field among the most re-silient troops. The main drawback, how-ever, is that they are relatively slow: atrue Griffin goes on foot!
