[ Story ]

You don't need to know the story, or take part in RP for a pet to grow to adult.
There will be additional things you can earn through RP but it is not required.




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!​

[ Becoming a Rider ]



- What is a Rider -


Riders are just as integral as their mounts as you can't have one without the
other! Or, well, you actually can! You do NOT need a Rider in order to have a
mount, but a Rider without a mount is called a Trainee!

Riders and Trainee's will always have their uniform as part of their
artwork. Only after graduating will they be able to have new artwork with a
more personalized outfit. The Uniform can be customized to an extent
with flair like Jackets, Capes, Cloaks, Jewelry and various other accessories!
They can also be any color the Trainee or Rider likes, but they must still
obviously be a Rider or Trainee.



Our Bases are not gender locked, and so you can make male and
female characters on either of our two bases above! There is base A that was
made to look more traditionally masculine, and base B that was made to be
more traditionally feminine. You are not bound to this and can use either
interchangeably.




Citizens:

Along with Riders and Trainee's there are also Citizens! Humanoid characters
who never plan to have a mount! You CAN decide later to have a mount but
these characters are NOT required to have the uniform that Riders and Trainee's are.
In fact, Citizens cannot use the outfit that Riders and Trainee's use given it's used
to denote rank and position as a Rider!

They are free to dress how they like, however, the jobs they can take on
do not pay quite as much, though they are also far less risky than jobs that riders can
take on.



Available Races:

We will be adding to this list over time, however, we currently only have a
limited amount of base work done.


Human / Elf / Demi-human / Demi-Elf​

[ Mounts ]

~Mount Previews~




First Roost:
Home of the Griffin Riders, and the first and currently only place to train to
befriend and ride these creatures! Currently Griffins are the only Mount trained
and raised here.

Griffin:


Born from Eggs, Griffins are loyal until the end, most will pick a single human
Rider and stay with them for their whole lives! Most will find a Griffin once the
Griffin has grown to adulthood, but those who chose to breed their Griffin or
who purchase an Egg from a Vendor or fellow Rider will be raising them from
Egg, to Adult!

There are many sub-species, and as they're discovered they will be added
to our bestiary here!​

[ Market ]


There are many ways to find your perfect companion in the world, these are
but a few of them!



Egg Stalls:
While some merchants and Riders claim that having a Griffin egg and
hatching it makes the bond between Griffin and Rider stronger and in turn
makes the duo stronger, there is no real or credible proof of this. Merchants
however DO use it as a way to charge premium for egg sales.



Match Maker:
Not too unlike Match Makers, there exist shops that specialize in finding the
perfect match for Mounts who are having trouble finding a Rider! They help
both Mounts and Riders to find one another, as it can be quite difficult alone!



Chance Encounter:
Perhaps the most luck based way to get a Mount/Rider in all of Heraldic!
Every month a Chance is rolled, if no one rolls the target number it is rolled
again in another month! Totally free and fully luck based!



Raffle:
A raffle paid with in game currency earned through RP, Events, releasing Mounts
and in-game jobs! These are not on a schedule or regular bases, so keep an eye out
on if there's one running! The amount to enter is also different each time, so read
carefully.​

[ Breeding and Customs ]

-Not currently available-


When it comes to this you have several options! They'll
all be outlined below of course.
Heavy WIP

- Gender does not matter when breeding.
- You may breed Riders/Trainee's/Civilians but colorists MAY opt out.
- Offspring may have more, less or mixed edits.



Breeding Numbers:

Single Party breeding ( One user breeding two pets ): 1 - 2 Offspring
Dual Party Breeding: 2 - 4 Offspring



Breeding Types:

- Standard -


A breeding between two parents of the same species.
Both parents and grandparents may be taken into
account when making offspring. This is artists choice however
and is not to be expected every time.


- Hybrid -

To species breeding to make a new species. These offspring
do run the risk of not being able to reproduce, however, they
have a higher chance of better stats and may even have
both species buffs upon hatching.


- Rogue/Wild -

If you can't, or don't want to find a partner, this is always
an option! There will be a rotating 'wild' Mount that can be
selected. Currently this is only planned for Mounts.

[ Stats and Buffs ]

WIP



Stats:

Mounts have something unique to them, Stats! All
Mounts have stats that are rolled for when they are created
by staff. These are static and do not change outside very
rare items!

Each Species and Sub Species can have different stats
so if Stats matter to you, be sure to check the sheet
for what the minimal stats for your species are!



Buffs:

Like Mounts, Riders, Trainees and Civilians have something
special too! Buffs! Depending on the species the buff can and
will change! Be sure to check what your species buff is!​

[ Currency ]



The currency in Heraldic is the following, and while it may look different
from location to location, they all boil down tot he same value!

- All characters start with 10 Chit. -


Bit - Lowest currency, considered of change. 100 Bits to a Chit.
Chit - Middle value, considered value of the dollar. 100 Chits to a Mark
Mark - The highest value.​
