General
The Syr clan is a group of gryphons who dwell on the floating rocks. They can be found clinging to the side of the rocks and on the surface.
The Syr clank are a proud race. They take great pride in the fact that they are one of the only sentient flying creatures in Albasia, so they can rule the sky without too much competition. They can sometimes abuse their powers of flight to spy on other clans so they can have something against them when they have nothing to return when they need to barter for food.
Their clan is scattered across the few floating rocks of Albasia, but they often congress on the largest rock for presentations, meetings and the sort.
None of the clan are magical, however they have a great navigation sense, perhaps the best on Albasia. Their skills of navigation are highly sought after in groups such as the Sunsorrow Desert's Ometan Tribe.
Sleeping
The gryphon's sleeping locations may vary depending on the individual. Some of them sleep in the nooks and crannies in the sides of the floating rocks of the Cloud Seas, and some of them sleep in the few trees on the top of these rocks. They are mostly diurnal (awake during the daytime), although the spies can often be found scounting around Albasia during the early hours of the morning.
Birth and Death
The Syr clan give birth in a special "birthing ground" on top of the floating rocks, which is a small group of trees with hollows in them, perfect for privacy. Birthing is usually private with only the mother and father present, but there will be a presentation of the child to the rest of the clan when it is about a week old, where it will be given a name.
When a clan member dies, another mourning ceremony will be held, followed by a private ceremony for the close family members and they will then proceed to carry the body to a small rock on the outskirts of the Cloud Seas, where all the dead are deposited. Access to this area is generally prohibited, one because of the possible disease and two, because the clan like to try to move on from the death as quickly as possible.
Diet and Food
The clan are omnivorous, and aren't too picky about what they eat. They do require alot of food however so they can sustain longer flights, which sometimes requires the, to barter with other groups in Albasia for food (who usually require some sort of delivery service in return).
Exploration
The clan often take flight around Albasia in small groups, and sometimes go down to Earth to survey the landscape at the request of the Air Elemental, Semba. They aren't prone to staying in one place for long, and one can usually see a gryphon flying across the Albasian skies. They interact with the other groups on Albasia, mainly so they can barter for the food they need, but they usually keep themselves to themselve and surveying the land around them. They do tend to be quite nosey, and sometimes blackmail other group members on Albasia by threatening to reveal something they saw them doing.
