The Windrunner family and the Wildhammer Dwarves' trade delegation completed the gryphon handover smoothly.
Afterward, they consulted on the finer details of raising gryphons and exchanged knowledge of beast taming.
There were considerable differences between the beast taming techniques the elves and dwarves had mastered.
Through comparison and discussion, both sides made real improvements in beast taming.
Even without the gryphons, the knowledge they had gained about beast taming alone was already invaluable!
