"Its earliest known ancestor is King Rion Gryphonheart, a Knight who served the Empire of Bracaduun and later founded the Erathian kingdom. The Gryphonheart lineage is also traceable back to Tarnum, whose sister, wholly unbeknownst to the common folk of Antagarich, was Rion's wife. The Gryphonhearts most commonly had red hair, a trait inherited from their maternal ancestor. With very few exceptions, the Gryphonhearts exclusively ruled Erathia up until its destruction during the Reckoning. It is plausible that Gryphonheart was not originally a surname, but a title given to Rion for his armies' taming of the Griffins following the fall of Bracaduun. The last Gryphonheart ruler of Erathia was Nicolas Gryphonheart, while the last Queen was his daughter, Catherine Ironfist."@en . . .
