Importance of griffons
Griffons are common creatures in Khent, used both as mounts for their air cavalry and beasts of burden for common merchants. Keeping griffons is a tradition that dates back to before Khent's unification, starting with the mountain tribes. The barbarians began training griffons as a means to scout the rough terrain of their homeland.

Politics
Originally a monarchy, Khent became a parliamentary republic after the overthrow of King Lowen Penhallow.

The Parliament of Khent consists of a bicameral legislature: the Inner House, which consists of a small number of elected officials that deals with national affairs, and the Outer House, which is larger in number and deals in local affairs.

The leader of the party that holds a majority in Parliament is the Chancellor, who effectively rules over Khent.
