Griffinstone's Fate and the Arimaspi

[FlareGun45 2,221]

Iunno why I haven't talked about this sooner, but I'm curious about Griffinstone right now. Like, who's the monarchy of it, and how's the environmental and economical state of it right now? Was Gilda successful in spreading friendship around the kingdom? How did Gabby do with what the CMCs taught her? Are griffins still greedy? All we know is that Grandpa Gruff is still a grouch, and he sent Gallus to be in the School of Friendship, but ever since season 5, the whole fate on Griffinstone is still a blur.

 

Another thing that concerns me is the Arimaspi that attacked Griffinstone to steal the Idol of Boreas. Why did the creature so eagerly attack Griffinstone to get the Idol of Boreas (and died in the process)? Then it got me wondering: where did King Grover FIND the Idol in the first place? My theory: the Idol was stolen by the Arimaspi, and they sent an agent to get it back! If you look on the Equestria map, the area with the giant skull on top, that's the Arimaspi Territory! That place looks interesting, and it should be used for a future episode!

 

What do you think about the fate of Griffinstone, and the Arimaspi's motivation?

The truth about their conflict [read in Stefan Molyneux voice]: They hate each other cause our glorious writers have read Herodotus.

 

This is pretty much how I imagine their conflict:

Griffinstone appears to be in a state of anarchy, and still is, which is why Grandpa Gruff was the representative rather than a wad of state or appointed delegate.
