SunKin gryphons have adapted to the heat of the desert and the threats that lurk it. The SunKin are quick-witted and powerful, having to be if they are to avoid giant sand worms and roosting manticore. Through diplomacy with the Children of Ra, the clan of sphinx with better technology than gryphons, they have engineered new means of production. Thanks to their craftiness and their connection with the sphinx, the SunKin were the first to create armor and have the most well-developed camp; they hold total control over their oasis. The SunKin clan is the oldest of the clans.

Noble and courageous, these headstrong gryphons of the SkyKin clan are well respected for their dedication to their cause. They are the most fierce fighters of the clans and will stop at nothing to fulfill their duties and do as they please. This can both be a good and a bad thing; they can be aggressively determined, which leads to their own downfall. However, they learn from their mistakes - what doesn't kill them makes them stronger. Their armor and weapons are lesser than the other clans, but their training is the finest. They were established last.
