Well would you look at me! Runnin' around with a big new beak! Featuring some cute little vulture tufts too! These banners? Ah, they are a symbol of status in the kingdom of the Moon Phoenix. I tend to call her just by her name, Alana, and she's helping me blend in amongst her kingdom of gryphons by assigning me as one of her closest vassals. They have a complicated history with dragons, and I wouldn't be able to get close enough to learn anything meaningful if I took on my true form. I'd have eyes on me at every moment, but with this I practically have run of anywhere in the kingdom I please!

Why is Alana granting me such a trusted position so quickly? Oh, well, I...let's just say that information is best kept behind closed doors.

Beaking time once again! Some of you that see this probably recall that I already have a gryphon form but, well, to be honest I am not happy with it. There is nothing wrong with it, it is an amazing design and the artist responsible did a wonderful job. Just the decisions I made in how he was to look ended up making him look...boring, for lack of abetter phrase. It really was just Vraeryn as a gryphon and nothing else. And so, I am overhauling. No longer will it be black just like the true form, but instead colors inspired by a white hawk. White base, gray-black accents, and purple flecks here and there. Technically all colors on the original form, but rearranged! By a wonderful friend  Tanhir who has helped me work through this design!
