Keltori Humans
The Mythology of the Keltori people is that the great Gryphons were protectors of the tribe of humans. In time the gryphons taught the worthy magic and how to live with the spirits of nature. In these times, the people were allied with the Lurkin people that came in their lands. At first, they fought but the Lurkins people found out that the Keltori people had the gryphons as well as magic. They did not have either of these on their side of the battle fields. Unless they allied themselves with the Keltori people. Their people would be wiped out. So, a peace treaty and regions were given to the Lurkins people. This was before the A.C.E. age.
