Name: Garrick Golden-Feather
Age: 33
Titles: King of Griffonia, Inheritor of the House of Gryphus
Description: At first glance, you seem like a pretty average example of the Griffon race. Head of an eagle, body of a winged lion, standing perhaps a hair taller than most other quadrupedal species. It's not until one looks closer that they see the things that distinguish you from a crowd. An unmistakably masculine build, a strong, prominent beak, feathers and fur that seem to be perpetually well-groomed, and a pair of piercing amber eyes hiding a fierce intelligence. But you're no peacock, only known for your good looks; your talons are razor sharp, and though you are not as strong as your wife, you are still an apex predator, and your musculature reflects that. Your wife's workout regimen has also improved your physique, cords of taut muscle now visible across your body.

Military
Royal Army: Professional soldiers, paid and supplied by you, though not particularly well. All have at least a brigandine for protection. 500 soldier battalions cost 100 gold each to raise or replace. Additionally, Royal Army soldiers have an upkeep cost of a hundred gold per every ten thousand soldiers.
Royal Army Morale: 50/100 (Average)
Royal Army Numbers: 10,000
-5000 Swords: Armed with a sword and shield, these Griffons make up the bulk of your army.
-2500 Spears: For keeping your enemy at arms length or taking down opponents larger than a Griffon.
-2500 Archers: Griffons with bows and some arrows. Not much else to say.
-5 Mobile Ballistae: Massively oversized mechanical bows that fire bolts big enough to pierce through tree trunks from vast distances.
Knightly Orders (Self Maintained): In the old Empire, Knightly Orders were typically made up of Griffons of noble birth who joined a fraternal militant organization dedicated to martial excellence, honor, and a number of various edicts of moral strength. These great warriors dedicated themselves to the Emperor and the protection of the common Gryph. Tragically, few of these brave souls survived the reign of Discord. But a new breed of Knights now seeks to serve as your sword and shield, and will rally to your banner whenever you may need them.

25 Knights of the Inner Circle
125 Imperial Knights
300 Squires

Navy: The vessels that guard your coastlines and patrol the oceans. Crewed by career sailors, they have an upkeep of five gold per ship, per year.
20 Cogs (Bolt-Throwers)
Auxiliaries: Auxiliary units are forces not part of a Knightly Order or the Royal Army that can be brought into battle alongside both of the former groups. They can be made up of allied nation units suborned to you, units drawn up from the militia, and mercenary outfits.
-The Valkyries: The mercenary band that your wife Gabriella was a part of in her wandering days. Contrary to what the name implies, it is not an entirely female unit, though the gender ratio is skewed a bit more in favor of the fairer sex. Specializing in rapid airborne assaults and furious charges, they're worth every bit of gold your Father-In-Law spent on them. (Numbers: 500). Cost: 0 (Cost paid by Federico Montefeathertro).

Persons of Interest
???: A friendly and strangely casual Griffon female you met at your inaugural ball. Despite having a wonderful evening chatting with her, you never got her name.
Federico Montefeathertro: Duke of the City-State of Urbirdo, and your Father-in Law. He might just be the friendliest Feathersian noble alive, having agreed to back you and your kingdom without question or condition, and hiring a mercenary outfit as a belated wedding gift. You're reasonably certain he likes you, as much as In-Laws can like each other anyway.
Not that it matters at this point Aquileia's relations with everyone is 1 or 0 already.I guess its time for relations with Aquileia to go from 2 to 0 at this point.

He is also a tyrant taxing his people nearly to starvation and bent on conquering all of gryffion kind. But apparently as we think he is gonna be a hell of a commander.We don't even really know the scale, it might (though probably won't) go down to -10.
Also, I've noticed some people are starting to see the Aquileian leader as some saturday-morning-cartoon-villain. Here's the friendly reminder that he's not in fact, that, and that he is the protagonist of his own story.
Additionally, he's also not an idiot, but a leader of his people in a time of great need and now beyond that great need.
He did kinda panicked when we were on throne and decided to speed up his plans, hence the taxes.He is also a tyrant taxing his people nearly to starvation and bent on conquering all of gryffion kind. But apparently as we think he is gonna be a hell of a commander.
We wanted unity through diplomacy and peace he chose it through war now the cards are on the table so to war we go.He did kinda panicked when we were on throne and decided to speed up his plans, hence the taxes.
And don't forget that at the start we did have 40% chance to solve the problems with him and unite peacefully , but we chose strategic partnership with Wingbardy directed towards weakening his position .
Basically if he is a cartoon villan we are even worse one that is acting in guise of benevolent ruler or better said we are Palpatine, using a war between two sides to gain power.
To put it simply neither us nor him were villans, as in this situation there were no white or black, only grey.
But what if he choose peaceful unification, but noth under us but him.We wanted unity through diplomacy and peace he chose it through war now the cards are on the table so to war we go.
Then it would have been a different kind of war, a diplo war which in all honesty would have been interesting to see play out. And like i said now the cards are on the table with the pot being the unifcation of the empire only one can have it will it be us or him.But what if he choose peaceful unification, but noth under us but him.
Would we do it?
My point here is that neither we, nor him are a villans. We are all just pursuing our goals (unification) through whatever means necessary.
But what if he choose peacefull unification, but nother under us but him.
Would we do it?
Fair point.Then it would have been a different kind of war, a diplo war which in all honesty would have been interesting to see play out. And like i said now the cards are on the table with the pot being the unifcation of the empire only one can have it will it be us or him.
One can never have enough omakes also better to be over prepared then under.Eh, I think we have enough omakes for the war, no need to worry overmuch about it guys.
True but i think this was a special case because its the beginning of the war and we want to start on the best foot possible. We shall see.I suppose, I'm just worried about the omakes making everything in this quest super easy.
Yeah, if we continue like this we will never get a natural critical or fail miserably. What is part of the fun in the quests.I suppose, I'm just worried about the omakes making everything in this quest super easy.
