The Grogrisant was a mythical lion-like monstrosity created during the [[history:Fallwar]] and slain by [[history:figures:Caerthynna Alrantora]].

===== Appearance =====
The grogrisant resembled a six-eyed lion, standing about 18 feet tall at the shoulder. Its golden mane amplified sunlight to such an extent that it could permanently blind anyone who tried to look directly at it.

===== History =====
==== The Fallwar ====
The Grogrisant was created during the [[history:Fallwar]] by [[deities:major:Mothayra]] to track down and slay [[history:figures:Drygmir Cyffretora]], the king and general of [[realms:greatkingdoms:Heth]], a task in which it succeeded.
It continued playing a pivotal role in the war, turning the tide of many battles.\\

==== Third Era ====
During the dwarven era the Grogrisant seemed to lay mostly dormant. Reports about it in this time are few, it probably stalked the [[geography:eldask:field_of_scythes]]. At some point it must have migrated south to the [[geography:eldask:enan_plain]] for a while, as it produced offspring with the lions of the plain to produce [[creatures:animals:Grisantian Lions]].

In this era it started being strongly mythologized. It was said that whomever would one day slay it would claim the Right of Vengeance and take on a new crown of Heth.

==== Slaying of the Grogrisant ====
On Topaasi 12, 28e4 it was slain by [[history:figures:Caerthynna Alrantora]] using [[items:alran_regalia#Ristang]]. Its fur was incorporated into [[items:alran_regalia#Ang'Amath]] and is still part of the royal regalia of [[realms:alranle:overview]].
