The Silver Gryphon

The Silvers; a group formed as a police force in the city of White Gryphon. Tadrath; the Black, now White Gryphon's son, a member of the Silvers recently promoted to a rank high enough to man one of the outposts that are one of the key defense stratagies of White Gryphon. Silverblade; Amberdrake and Winterheart's only child and Tadrath's partner in the Silvers.
Tadrath and Silverblade are sent on a mission to man one of the far reaches outposts in the land shared by White Gryphon and their Haighlei allies, when their magical carry-basket filled with all of their supplies and Silverblade, suddenly looses its magically induced lightness, pulling Tadrath from the sky and dropping the pair in unexplored wilderness still filled with magical mutations from the destruction of Urtho's Tower. All their magical equipment, including their only means of communication with the distant city of White Gryphon, no longer work. But worst of all, they are being stalked. And in the dark of the tropical rainforest into which they crashed and cannot escape is a nameless terror which not even their fathers could envision existed.
