In general
Taldor was once a powerful empire that dominated the continent, until Cheliax broke away and formed their own Empire.
- Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Of the later Roman/Byzantine Empire with a touch of the British.
- Vestigial Empire: Taldor once ruled the areas now held by Cheliax, Andoran, Isger, Molthune, and Narimithas. Now just a shadow of it's former self.
The Grogrisant
N huge magical beast, CR 16/MR 6
A legendary beast that resembles a six-eyed lion, the grogrisant has appeared several times throughout Taldor's history and has always been slain by a hero of the people.
- Extra Eyes: It has six eyes arranged in a fan shape across its upper face.
- Fiery Lion: Its mane blazes like the sun — so brightly, in fact, that it blinds those who look at it — and it can wreathe itself in flame at will.
- Light 'em Up: Its mane blazes with blinding light, and it can cast sunbeam at will.
- Mega Neko: It stands eighteen feet at the shoulder, considerably taller than the largest recorded elephants in real life.
- Monster Progenitor: It's believed to be the forefather of grisantian lions, a particularly large and fierce breed of lions found in the Taldori grasslands.
- Red Baron: It's better known as the Imperial Beast than by its name, particularly in its role in inspiring Taldor's heraldry.
- Resurrective Immortality: According to legend, the grogrisant is reborn at key points in history to serve as a catalyst for important heroes. It's stats don't indicate any such ability, but that doesn't preclude the possibility of outside forces being responsible for such a feat.
- The Spook: It's immune to divination and leaves no tracks, making it nearly impossible to gather any real information on it.
