After enduring an arduous debate, the Elders of First Roost have finally come to a consensus:
First Roost will once more open its doors to outsiders so they may learn the ways of the Griffin
Riders! This is a momentous occasion, as before this new ruling, the only pupils of First Roost
were the Family of Riders, residents of the mountain itself.
With the doors open to the public, anyone may attempt to become a Griffin Rider. Everyone starts
at the same level—with a Grifflet. Once hatched, these young Griffins search the souls of
prospective companions. They will choose their partner through a connection to their morals,
ambitions, or something innate. Grifflets will imprint on the companion they choose and form a
lasting bond of friendship. This is the first milestone in becoming a Rider.
It is, however, not the only way to achieve Ridership. If someone were to buy a Griffin egg—a
very rare commodity—and carry it with them, keeping it warm and safe, the unhatched Grifflet will
attune to the prospective rider, just as Grifflets do with their parents in the wild. Some claim this
develops a stronger bond with the Grifflet, while others argue that being chosen by a hatchling to
be superior. The staff of First Roost, however, believe both methods are equivalent.
Despite the path a Rider chooses, this is where most stories begin. At least, for now! The bond is
only the first step towards graduation. Once graduated, the world will open up fully!
Come, enjoy the peace of the times, and enjoy the company of your new friends and
companions. Only time will tell what the future holds for you!
