Flight Harness Boots

"Recruits keep falling off their gryphons, and I'm starting to get sick of having to order their entrails removed from my rooftop. I begin to think they do this on purpose to spite me." Thus spoke Tharchion Valerios Theokillos' antecessor in his vainglorious memoirs, in reference to flight practice sessions enacted by the Gryphon Legion. Whether he was correct or not as to the suicidal intentions of his elite force, his efforts to keep his roof free of crushed bodies have resulted in a commission to the Red Wizards and the creation of these boots, now held as instrumental devices in the training of recruits unused to flying mounts. Designed so as to connect to the gryphon's saddle, keep the rider firmly mounted and enchanted so as to help the rider stay at a firm vertical level when necessary, they have aided significantly in keeping mortality rates from dropping below the occasional serious accident among the Gryphon Legion - something the Tharchion's slaves have learned to quietly appreciate.
