Chapter 229 Night terror ~
Both spiritually and materially, the Phoenix Guard follow the teachings of the Asuryan prophets.These learned saints were once members of the Phoenix Guard, serving over centuries.They chose to immerse themselves in Asuryan's teachings.They spend most of their time in the Chamber of Time learning about the past and the future.An Asuryan prophet leaves this holy land only when his destiny calls him to do so.He may go to personally prove the power of the Creator, or bring hope to mortal children.Wherever the Asuryan Prophet goes, allies' doubts and fears fade like mist on the wind, enemy fatal blows miss their target at the last moment, and axes shatter on contact with allies' shields , and those dark wizards will collapse the moment they cast their spells.

The wild griffon that lives in the Annulii Mountains is a noble, keen and intelligent creature.For strangers visiting Ulthuan for the first time, they may casually assume that these savage griffins are just ferocious beasts of the mountains.Of course all elves know that griffins are savage only on rare occasions, as long as you don't hurt those they consider kin.

For any elf to tame a griffin, he must capture and train the beast from childhood, forging an emotional bond that only death can break.For warriors who often go to the fiercest places of the battlefield, the Gryphon is the ideal mount.Indeed, a screeching griffin in the heart of an enemy army can win a battle in an instant, leaving severed limbs and entrails everywhere.

The great eagle of Ulthuan has always been the strongest ally of the elves.The two races have fought side by side throughout recorded history since the demonic invasion.These legends also carry the friendship between the two races since ancient times.Indeed, in some accounts, the Pale Queen Ereth Khial was brought into the Underworld by the Eagle King Talyn at the behest of Asuryan.

Like the high elves, these noble and proud creatures remember their wounds long ago, and they do not readily accept foolish companions.When the armies of the High Elves gather, these giant eagles also volunteer to fight.They will swoop down on enemy troops, shred the war machines with their powerful talons, and glide away with great speed on their huge wings.

As the flame phoenix grows older, their bodies will gradually cool down.Even the heat around them fades away.Eventually, their fiery plumage transformed into a thick layer of frost.When this transformation occurs, the phoenix must leave the stone pillars marked with flames.For their own cold would cause great suffering to those of their brethren who were still burning.Most of these frostheart phoenixes are solitary wanderers and dwell on the cliffs along the coast of Eataine.Until their bodies are finally completely frozen, these frozen wondrous statues will forever stand on top of the cliffs.The rest of the Frostheart Phoenixes will choose to return to the Sanctuary of Asuryan and serve as war mounts until they die in battle.

A Frostheart Phoenix may not have the flame and strength of its youth, but it has become even harder.The ice that surrounds its body is as strong as glass, and enemies will not take advantage of the rider's enchanted armor.In the end, they will only find that their strength and determination have been eaten away by the cold.Frostheart phoenixes who knew they would never rise again from the flames fought harder to defend their own homeworld, having decided to end their lives with a final and magnificent blow to the enemies of Ulthuan.

The phoenixes of Ulthuan reside in white marble columns that surround Asuryan like sentinels and are called Flamespyre.These stone pillars are constantly burning with flames full of magical energy, and these magical flames all come from the wind of fire, Aksha.The winds of fire within these pillars are all steadfast towards the Isle of the Dead. Aksha's imprint is not only on these silent pillars.After several generations, the phoenix living in these stone pillars has long adapted to these magical flames, and can use these energies as they please.

When a flame phoenix is ​​enraged, its feathers will burst into magical flames, and only after waking up will the imprint of the flame of anger fade from the phoenix.If a flame phoenix is ​​killed, its corpse explodes, leaving nothing but embers of flames.If the Winds of Magic are in decline, the death of the Fire Phoenix is ​​as inevitable as all other things.But if the air is filled with a large amount of magic wind, the hot ashes produced by the explosion after the death of the flame phoenix will quickly gather again. In the explosion of air and the fiery flash, the flame phoenix will be reborn and join the battle again middle.

Although the flame phoenix has no talent for using civilized language, they can understand the language of elves.Even these phoenixes will be willing to negotiate if they are treated with the proper respect.Indeed, the Phoenix Guardians have a pact with these Phoenixes: the Phoenix Guardians often call these Phoenixes as war mounts.This is indeed a terrifying combination, these clear-headed phoenix knights often guide the phoenixes to unleash their wrathful flames where they can cause the most damage.

Since Caledor I, the white lion has served as the Phoenix King's personal guard.While hunting in the mountains of Chrace, Caledor received the news that he had been chosen as the next Phoenix King.He immediately set out on his way to the holy place in the city of Asuryan, but he was stopped by dark elf assassins. King Caledor would surely die, but a band of Chracian loggers emerged from the forest to join the battle to protect Caledor. The Chracians slaughtered the incoming Dark Elves, and then escorted Caledor to the Sanctuary of the Phoenix. These warriors used every part of their experience in the forest to avoid the road ahead without Dark Elves in ambush.When Caledor was crowned Phoenix King, his first order was to form the Chracians as a regular guard in Lothern.

A warrior who wishes to join the White Lions must prove his fearlessness and skill on the battlefield.He must also perform the traditional rites of a Chracian warrior to hunt a white lion.These big cats are the most ferocious creatures in Chrace.They stand at shoulder height.A blow from their claws is enough to shatter an animal's spine.There are even some records confirming that these proud white lions ransacked convoys and even attacked isolated villages if they were hungry enough.Slaying such a beast is an extremely difficult task, but if the warrior succeeds in the hunt, he will be entitled to don the white lion's pelt as a badge of courage.Such thick fur has another function, as an additional armor, this fur is enough to provide excellent protection against bows and shooting
