 > **[well known to some of you: the preceding Hippogriff myth, which goes something like this: Hippogriff underwent a series of painful and humiliating experiences during the War of the Gods and the Greater Darkness. First she met Valind in raging battle and her proud fangs were broken out of her mouth so she could no longer bite. In a fight with Humath, Hippogriff’s legs were broken and her bronze claws were ripped from her feet, but Ehilm was able to replace her feet with hooves. The greatest loss was when Zorak Zoran tore off her golden wings, laughing as he robbed her of ever returning to the sky. In some myths, the final ignominy is that Hippogriff is saddled and made a servant by mankind. Others see it differently, as the King-Who-Walks myth goes.]** > **[well known to some of you: the preceding Hippogriff myth, which goes something like this: Hippogriff underwent a series of painful and humiliating experiences during the War of the Gods and the Greater Darkness.

 Angry red-skinned men, twice the height of a man, with long hair and multicoloured wings, stand in the middle of the crater, some distance from you. Smoke and fumes blossom as their breath. They carry burning spears and flaming stones, and are clad head-to-toes in red-gold plates of metal. A sizeable salamander accompanies them, having gushed out of cracks in the ground. Bog puzzles over what these beings are, of Earth/Hell or Sky? They have the look of both perhaps. Yet you have no time to puzzle further—the beings immediately launch into violence! Angry red-skinned men, twice the height of a man, with long hair and multicoloured wings, stand in the middle of the crater, some distance from you.
