Kuzhuk (ku-ZHUK)

The mountain enclave of Kuzhuk is home to the Vaskil Valley Griffon Riders, a proud people whose heritage and culture extend beyond living memory. Their skill as winged warriors is legendary amongst the kingdoms of The Summer Land, though few are old enough to remember the last time they took to the skies for war.
Central to Kuzhuk culture is the raising and training of griffons. As early as the age of seven, a young rider is paired with a griffon chick and charged with its protection and development. As a result, the bond between a griffon and its paired rider is unbreakable. Common folklore suggests that one can sense distress in the other, though they may be miles apart.
