General Information

"Allt Konur" is Icelandic, translating into "all female" basically. The vision of a all female group probably makes you think of the Amazonians, or the Valkyries. As the name of the flock goes, this will be a majority female flock of Gryphons. Any sort of breed of female Griff is allowed to join this flock as long as she proves herself worthy or needing of a safe place to live (it doesn't exactly need to be in a fighting sense), and it is expected of others to be tolerant even if there is a dislike for certain breeds.

In the eyes of Valkyrie (the leader of this flock) all are equal in sisterhood and none is better than the other. It is in the code of joining the flock to be tolerant and accepting. The flock enjoys peace and equality mostly. Any who thinks otherwise will be looked down upon in shame; as this goes against the belief that all are equal in status. This flock is to give female Griff's a safe haven if needed, and of course because of this most of the warriors in this flock are going to be female fighters.

Males are rarely accepted into the flock, and if they are they are usually made as warriors to fight alongside the other female fighters, or made into breeders. But of course, not any male can waltz on in; Valkyrie has a sharp eye and only wants big, strong Gryphon men in the flock. Brains are indeed a added bonus though, as not everything is about brawn and muscle here. A strong but courteous male who respects females is more likely to be accepted as opposed to a meat head who just wants in on the all girl action. Any male Gryphon that is caught abusing "power" and treating the women as if they are of lesser value will be severely beaten and chased out/banished from the flock. EVERY gender is equal. No if's, and's, or but's about it.

Female outsiders are usually welcomed to visit now and then, but under the eyes of the guards to make sure they aren't there to wreak havoc. The flock is always open to female Griffs though and appreciate if they decide to stay by taking the oath in front of Valkyrie. Males however, will usually be fended off and chased away by the guards and warriors on duty. Members of the flock are welcome to come and go as they please; so long as they return. If the female doesn't return within a week without letting others know of her whereabouts, either a search party is formed and she is hunted down (out of benevolence, not violence) or she is considered a outcast from the flock and forgotten about. As much as the members would like to protect everyone, the whole well being of the flock comes over a single Griff.

When it comes to mating, since there are so little males, the females are welcome to set out on their own in order to mate and return successfully if the deed is done; this is usually just a fling. Reproduction is important, and the gender of chicks doesn't matter as they will become a part of the flock in the end and be raised to their customs. If a mate is to be had though when a female returns, the male must either prove himself worthy of the flock, or the female will be banished if the male fails to deem himself good enough. Having a male mate already IN the flock is a different story and is accepted; though keep in mind those males will still be used as breeders for other female Griffs if he is wanted. Female mates aren't anything new here as well, and sometimes it's considered better since this means the worries of extra males joining the group after a mating session are very slim.

Joining Form

By wanting to join this flock, you agree and accept that Valkyrie will need to RP with your Gryphon in order to see that they're truly interested. Though again, this is going to be a ALL FEMALE flock with very little male members. Valkyrie may not accept your male Griffs for any high ranked positions; but lower ranks may be considered if your male can prove themselves. Valkyrie is not a bully of any sorts, but she is stern and may be sharp-tongued, so don't take it too personally.

Open for interested applicants~! heart

Alaunus has been accepted as a Breeder. I will be starting up a RP thread soon for him and Valkyrie to interact in as a joining RP. c:
