After the Fall, the Ironclaws frankly just in no small words, vanished. All the deals, holdings and influences just fell apart and vanished into the wind as the clan and family was left to stalk in the shadows, struggling to hold itself together in an ever changing world and culture. For a clan that once stood among the greatest of clans, near equals to kings, it was an anti climatic fall and end.

But while the rest of the world forgot the Ironclaws, they did not forget. In fact, the Fall had sparked a sort of inner emotion of clan pride and nationalism. They worked to keep their clans history alive amongst themselves, each succeeding generation growing up on the tales of old and the dream that one day the Ironclaws would gain back what was rightfully theirs so long ago.

It would not be till in thirty five years ago that the Ironclaws would once more rise back to stand in the light of other high ranking griffons and families. It began in first in the military, with the rising of an Ironclaw griffon named after the founder of the clan. This Ironclaw rose into the highest military rank for years of dedicated service and action, becoming one of the most decorated of generals to Aquilla.

With this new rise and rank, the Ironclaws began to see a turn in their fortunes. With the prestige came new open doors for them to reestablish themselves as an influential family. Investments were made into the rise of the industrial works, and this new industry, along side trade deals and other economic handlings, soon saw a return of a semblance of wealth to the clan; and through it all the General Ironclaw worked tirelessly to return his family to their historic place at the top.

As the years went by into the current year and day, the Ironclaws made a complete about face in their fortunes, soon owning a wide spread and profitable ironworks, and airship art factories. It all led up, after both a heavy round of bargaining on price and the finding of old documents detailing their ownership of the land, that the Ironclaws at last could return to Castle Iron, their ancient home once thought lost to them.

And now after so long the Ironclaws stand back, at least partly, in the prestige and influence they once had. Though it is still not enough. Perhaps they are merely a bit more greedy then most griffons today, but the Ironclaws still feel they have much left to do before they are done and back in their proper place. Many griffons and ponies and beyond barely can recall who their clan and family once was, and while they are certainly wealthy they do not have the once great wealth of kings they were said to have so long ago.

But all of this is but a prelude. The Ironclaws know that they will reach those heights of power in time, and even beyond it. Their new patron, General Ironclaw, works tirelessly with both allies and family members, and that same desire and clan pride grows in every young Ironclaw. It might seem an odd desire in this modern age, but for the Ironclaws it is all a matter of pride, and while they are certain they can't get all they had back, they can certainly try to get all that the current era has to offer and they will do it with the same unbending iron will that their ancestors used so long ago to do it.
