Is it related to the "Spiritual Bond" magic we have? Maybe we could bind the griffins to their rider?

Study Magic?

Action wise, yes, Study Magic will help us develop new spells to help us tame the griffins.
Unless you're being facetious (at least in the vein of "Shouldn't you study the Magic list?") in which case, sorry, but I don't really have a firm grasp of what we can or can't do with Blood Magic.
Hmm... would that create a problem where if the rider or griffon dies separately from their partner we would lose a full cavalry warrior anyway?

Lurker trying to get more involved here. Would it depend on RNG for Griffin taming magic. Would we get some synergy bonus for settleing where the Griffin's are and studying magic same time?

Potentially.
Yes, but you have a colony over there so you would need to support it or explore the western coast instead of settling the western coast.

I hope you're joking.
This idea that we need to buff our army is without good sense. Our military is already strong, we're at peace, and all the major powers will remain at peace with us for the foreseeable future. Getting a bigger army will not only not do anything good, it will outright harm us by giving more power to the people predisposed to war, who settle problems by force and prosper in times of conflict. That causes trouble and nothing but trouble.

So, you do remember how we had our army outnumbered 6:1 very recently right? As in the last Epic Age?
We have the strongest economy by far in the region, but our military force is pitiful in comparison.
The best way to ensure peace is by making war an unsavory gamble for attackers; something that is helped most with a robust military and strong defenses.
Also, our warriors have consistently been the ones who have most wanted to avoid war, so giving them a greater voice doesn't seem to be all doom and gloom.

I don't. I remember us outnumbering half of the enemy army 2:1 in the lowlands while the other half of the enemy besieged Caermyr.

You outnumbered part of the Forluc army in the lowlands as they split into two forces. However they didn't split up into equally sized forces. The majority of their army besieged while they detached a couple thousand troops to (successfully) slow you down. The rest of the time, they outnumbered you.
That was a screening force of like 2000 guys while 7000 dudes sacked caermyr. The Forluc then had another army with same number of forces while our total was 3000
18,000 to 3000

We were forced to rely on our pigmen cavalry to even out the numerical disadvantage in that war, our armies are too small in comparison to the size of our civ. Our holdings have only grown larger since then, so we need to increase the military to match.

What?
We absolutely need to buff our army or our tiny elite numbers will be drowned trying to protect every one of our colonies, which we have to do.

I think twenty of fifteen thousand in our civ is viable given the nature of our troops, and we should take into account the potential of our colonies too. We don't have to protect our colonies, they train troops too, as heavily evidenced by the Arthdysh and by the Catclaw in the sidestory.
EDIT: We don't have to protect our colonies, Alone.

1) It is explicitly stated in-story that the Coltyre are probably stronger than us in terms of military might. And they have boar cav. ALL the boar cav.
2) How could you possibly know we will remain at peace with every major power there is, indefinitely? Even if I accepted your statement at face value, please remember there are civs we haven't even met yet.

I see nobody saw the true motivation for the unrest.
These guys are the ones who were taking power for themselves already as de facto local feudal heads, who don't do as ordered, but DO do what they claim the Cadlon wants. Which winds up being what they personally want because they've never MET the Cadlon, who exists as a convenient figurehead to project their own desires onto. E.g. right here, they project their desire for personal power to the Cadlon image and conclude that they must be coerced because they wouldn't in the Cadlon's place.
What they're opposing now is their losing power because it was GIVEN to other people. Who are not them.

In the end, Cadlon Evalon and the Assembly decided to give the Urthdysh a more than fair deal out of a desire to improve relationships with the Forester. In exchange for knowledge on the human body, something that the Arthwyd would be hard-pressed to get on their own, the Arthwyd gave the Urthdysh knowledge of both their law and offered them farming expertise.
The Urthdysh went home with both copies of the legal code of the Arthwyd and several Arthwydish farmers who had volunteered to go and live amongst the Urthdysh as they taught them how to farm properly.
As was hoped, the Urthdysh was pleased with this outcome and in addition into getting more knowledge about the human body, the Arthwyd were also able to established friendly relations with the Foresters.
As the Urthdysh expedition returned home, life went on for the People. The Arthdysh focused on improving their territories with more farms, temples and roads while the Grythwyd continue to found more settlements and the Myrthwyd constructed more roads.
While the Council of Arthryn backed the constructions of temples along the lands of the Green River, Cadlon Evalon continued the policy expansion of his mothers followed and had the construction of a new colony in the lowlands, something many expected to be the last major bit of Arthwyd expansion for some generations. While the Arthdysh were located on the western side of the Green River, the Corthwyd would be located on the eastern side of the Green River and would allow the Arthwyd to claim the lands east of the Green River in the lowlands.
Cadlon Evalon also decided to appease the elders, crafters and trades of the Arthwyd be sending out expeditions to the Sunrise Mountains hopes of finding more metal deposits so that more mines could be built.
It took some seasons, but the Cateyes were able to find another major deposit of gold. This was something that everyone was pleased about as the increased flow of gold would mean that even more gold goods could be made for both use at home and trading with foreigners.
Even as the Assembly organised the construction of the new gold mine, the exploration expeditions found another metal deposit in the Sunrise Mountains, this time being a Zinc deposit.
While Evalon grew old as he reached into what the final years of his life, there was a sense of adventure and excitement amongst the Arthwyd. The world was a wonderous place and there was plenty of unclaimed land to be taken. Over the last few generations since they won their dominance over the northern lowlands, the Arthwyd had been expanding and pushing outwards and this positive attitude towards expansion had become part of the core Arthwyd.

The world is wonderous and ripe for the taking. The Arthwyd enjoy seeking out new lands and making them their own as they claim new territory in the name of Arthryn and her Daughters.
Pros: Occasional Independent Exploration, Occasional Independent Expansion,

The Arthwyd also sent diplomatic overtures to some of the friendly Boarfolk tribes to the east. Rather than seek trade, Cadlon Evalon hoped to convince some of the friendly tribes to move to the Arthwyd so that they could replenish the numbers of their current Boarfolk population. While some refused, many were intrigued by the success and prosperity of the Arthwyd and several tribes migrated to the Arthwyd, the end result being that the Arthwyd had a high enough population of Boarfolk to field cavalry once more.
Even as the Arthwyd continue to prosper, fighting had begun aboard. The Urthdysh Federation were peaceful like the Arthwyd Empire as they continue to secure the Cursed Forest for themselves and build the Urthrynite grand temple.
The Coltyre Confederation and the Forluc Kingdom were far less peaceful. The Confederation was dealing with simmering unrest amongst the human subjects and while there hadn't been any outright revolts yet, the Boarfolk were having their hands full putting down minor and isolated uprisings as they attempted to quell the unrest.
The Forluc also finally chose their targets for military conquest as their army marched east against the collection of lowlander tribes between them, the Arthwyd and the Coltyre. The fighting was hard and brutal. While the first few campaigns were favourable to the tribes if just slightly, when the fighting truly began to pick up, things were a different matter.
The warriors of the kingdom and the tribes found themselves engage in a brutal war as the casualties racked up for both sides as many bloody battles were fought. In the end, the Forluc emerged triumphant as not only did they have superior troops and tactics to the lowlanders, but they could afford to take the losses. They would replenish their dead with fresh recruits while the tribes they fought against could not. As the more intense fighting came to an end, it was just a matter of the Forluc crushing the remaining tribes as they licked their wounds and began to assimilate their conquests.
The conflict also had an impact on the Arthwyd Empire as many of the threatened lowlanders decided to flee north and take their chances amongst the Arthwyd. Primarily making their way to Caermyr, most of these refugees were then shuffled off to other parts of the empire.

As Evalon reached the final seasons of his life, some very bad news reached the Cadlon and the Assembly in Greenbay. The exploration expeditions in the Sunrise Mountains had come across something that they should not have and now a dangerous threat had been unleashed.
It was unnatural horror, unlike anything the People had seen before. The Arthwyd had faced the likes of Urth, Vervov and old Forluc, but those were all things that originated from regular people. Terrifying and evil, but ultimately something that could be understood and dealt with.
This. This thing was something else entirely. A forgotten monster which should not have been unleashed and now that it was, it is poses a terrifying threat to the People.
It was called Ulgoran and it called itself a demon.
The southerners called the Arthwyd the Northern Demons, but the People were nothing like this monster. It was shorter than the average person, but it was a muscular thing with four legs instead of a regular two. Its face was bland and plain with only two black eyes, a mouth and pair of slits for a nose while a curved horn struck out above its left eye.
Despite its stout and heavy appearance, the beast had a quiet, soft voice. Found bound in chains of unknown metal, the demon had plead with the Cateyes which found it, begging them to free it.
Seeing a creature bound in pain and hoping to find more friendly people, the Cateyes unchained Ulgoran and soon learnt of the error that they had made. Free of its ancient prison, Ulgoran struck at the Cateyes.
They fought back bravely, but most of their number were slaughtered. The beast moved quicker than it should have for its size, skittering about on its four legs and its hide was so tough that even bronze weapons were barely enough to hurt it.
Realising that they would not win this battle, the Cateyes fled as they sought to warn the rest of the People of this deadly threat. While only some of them got away, the Cateyes made it back to the Arthwyd and told everyone they could of what happened.
By the time that the news reached Cadlon Evalon and the Assembly in Greenbay, the news of the demon Ulgoran would spread to the whole of the Arthwyd and beyond. Ulgoran had left everyone feeling sacred. The military and the farmers sought to keep the people safe from Ulgoran while the elder and crafters feared for the copper and gold mines in the Sunrise Mountains as the gold was valuable while the Arthwyd depended on that copper to make bronze. The priesthood wished to study ways to defeat Ulgoran as while they feared Ulgoran, they also worried that there would be more demons out there and the People needed better ways to slay the likes of Ulgoran.

The Urthdysh Federation is definitely your peer power at this point, but you are friendly with them at this point and they got their own infrastructure backlog in addition to having sub-par infrastructure.
The Forluc Kingdom has had some bloody expansion towards the Coltyre Confederation and the latter has continue to suffer unrest in its lands, which will probably boil over next turn.
You also got a fourth colony (and the last one you'll get for a long time) as part of the final parts of Wonlyn and Evalon's push for expansion. You also got a new value as the result of the rapid Arthwyd expansion over the last few decades and replenish the numbers of your boarfolk enough to field dire boar cav again. You got a new pair of mines and while one is just zinc, you got a second gold mine that your factions developed for you. On the downside, you found something really nasty whilst exploring.

***
The Urthdysh Federation is definitely your peer power at this point, but you are friendly with them at this point and they got their own infrastructure backlog in addition to having sub-par infrastructure.
The Forluc Kingdom has had some bloody expansion towards the Coltyre Confederation and the latter has continue to suffer unrest in its lands, which will probably boil over next turn.
You also got a fourth colony (and the last one you'll get for a long time) as part of the final parts of Wonlyn and Evalon's push for expansion. You also got a new value as the result of the rapid Arthwyd expansion over the last few decades and replenish the numbers of your boarfolk enough to field dire boar cav again. You got a new pair of mines and while one is just zinc, you got a second gold mine that your factions developed for you. On the downside, you found something really nasty whilst exploring.
Please point out any spelling or grammar mistakes that you spot. Please quote them in the thread and explain what you think is wrong so I know what you are referring to. Feel to ask questions for more details and information.

That isn't the case. They haven't lost any power themselves as the lost of power they are opposing is the Cadlon losing power to the Assembly. The motivation is that they are a group of monarchists who support the idea of an absolute monarchy and disapprove of the recent move away from that.

So yeah, of course the Arthwyd would be gullible enough to free the ancient evil because it asked nicely.
At least it means we aren't prejudiced?
So, current plan is pretty simple. more magic, more dude, try and kill spooky demon.
