Boz: They fight the royalist gryphons, but you certainly not called me to hear stuff as obvious as this.
They actually maybe semi-started because of me. When my first body died years ago, a bunch of Minotaur sailors under my command went rogue and hoisted the black flag instead of reporting back to Crete. They turned the island you are under into their own pirate republic where ship crew elected their captains and stuff like that. It probably inspired some of the reforms the gryphon democratic front are demanding.
Though I’m sure a gryphon rebellion was bound to happen regardless of what those pirates inspired. Did you ever visited Gyphonia? Even the part not directly under Robotopony’s occupation. Before he lost his marbles the previous king was actually doing nothing short of a miracle to protect his power despite how backward that place was.
