Graaval Ivory Lance
The Graaval is a most intelligent creature, not to similar to the unicorn of the forests and according to the most traveled pearl elves, the Graaval almost identical in appearance to the Narwhal of the distant oceans to the north. The greatest difference is that The Graaval dwell not in the oceans but in the great rivers of Ganathor, and I still recall how the Graaval at times got in close encounter with the Jeupou in the Ismake River.
While the Jeupou where aggressive, ferocious and constantly out to drive us out of their watery swamp, the Graaval on the other hand would swim next to our raft, sometimes for hours at times, singing to us, and they especially seemed to have a deeper connection to our one pearl elf guide, Aqui Auqiwna I think her name was. More than once the Graaval would use their mouth lance to direct a school of Jeupou away from us, just long enough to get passed. I would myself never want to hunt or eat a Graaval based on the deep respect it showed us as travelers, in its land, though now a days the Barbaric tribes not only have tamed the Jeupou to be their beast of burden but also, both breed, eat and harvest many of the things they need from the Graaval of the Ismake River, The Graaval also interact in perfect harmony with the Ilixic Duckdog.
Ivory, unlike the magical horn of the Unicorns, the Graaval lance, is not a horn but a tusk just like the ivory of elephants, where one tooth grow to a few yards in length, The barbarians sometimes have been reported to use this Graaval tusk as part of the war outfitting for their Jeupous, outfitted with a sharpened lance tusk a war trained Jeupou is even more dangerous. Other barbarians use the Gravaal tusk more like a lance shaped spear.
Mester Dominae Lurius I reminiscing his early travels up the Ismake River and how he encountered numerous Graavals there.
