…Griffons and Pegasi are thought to have originated in the same general area, in what today are the Dragon lands, the Pegasi being descendants from the local ponies, and the Griffons having arose independently. However, it is believed that both of them spoke the same Griffo-Equine protolanguage at this point.

Around 3000 BSE, some Pegasi and Griffon groups began to organize themselves in nomadic confederations, and eventually their miscigenation led to the appearance of the first Hippogriffs; within some generations’ span, these had already assumed a genetic cohesion, contrasting with the generally wild variation in appearance of first-generation Hippogriffs, taking more after Griffons in their external apperance but still retaining the tendency for extreme color variations, and their tail and foot shapes, from Pegasi.

They still shared the same nomadic social structure of Griffons and Pegasi, and in the course of their migrations, they split linguistically between Western and Eastern Hippogriffs, the Western going on to become the ancestors of the Frigi and our erstwhile invaders, the Yaunas, and the Eastern settling on Lesser Asia, both of them establishing dominance over the mixed Asine/Equine population in these regions.

Around 1800 BSE, the queendom of Nesa, after conquering the neighboring Asine queendom of Hattusa, developed into an empire that would remain as a major player on the region until the general political collapse of the region’s states around Ziragshabdar’s time. While the Western Hippogriffs managed to recover and prosper, the Eastern ones found themselves mostly assimilated by them.

Notably, in the midst of the ensuing chaos, one group of Nesite Hippogriffs led by a Nepizasteras, a purported relative of their last queen, Suppiluliuma II, in their flight, reached a relatively isolated island south of Arabia, which they named Sanetsikuri, where they remain to this day…
