[QUOTE="Ciaran, post: 688753, member: 756"] I think this is implausible, considering the following: 1) The Jongans haven’t yet developed [I]ground[/I] cavalry. Aerial cavalry seems a bit over-the-top at this stage of the game. 2) Jongan society isn’t terribly religious, insofar as we’ve seen thus far. They may have a few clerics, but their society is oriented more towards pragmatic, secular solutions for their problems. 3) We don’t even know what god the Jongans worship, but given what we’ve seen of their magics, it’s probably a fire-deity of some sort. We can tie that in with their smithcraft and their bardic traditions, giving the god dominion over the fires of the forge and the artist’s creative spark. In any event, whatever boon the god might give, it wouldn’t be over aerial beasts, but would instead involve fire in some way. 4) The proto-Cresians received their lycanthropic gift when their people were in danger of being destroyed. The Jongans are on the offensive; I can’t see them as feeling sufficiently threatened to pour their hearts and souls into seeking a boon of their gods. Maybe later, when things get tough for the Jongans, but not yet. - Eric [/QUOTE]
