In Nyheim, there is an old folklore about why the land is in squalor. It is told that mystical Griffins once took care of the the land, making it lush and prosperous. But when the evil Troll King invaded the land, the Griffins fled. Rumor has it that they closed themselves off in a secret land called “Griffinheim”. As Nyheim gradually fell into ruin, the inhabitants eventually revolted and exiled the evil Troll King and his lackeys back into the mountains. But the Griffins were gone and no- where to be found. Centuries later, little mini griffins, “grifflings,” were all of the sudden sighted! Could the myth be true? Dagny and Iona, Nyheim’s wildlife experts, are tasked to find the grifflings and learn more about them. Is it possible that they may lead them to the mystical Griffinheim?

A forlorn Nyheim.
