The Psychic Abilities of Wyvern Species and the Ravenglass Bond, as Discussed in "Psychic Phenomena Amongst Wyvernic Companions," Vol. XII (an excerpt), penned by Sir Quintilius Brandt, a distinguished Thaumaturge of the Ostehild College and once the Wyvern-Lord of the Fifth Aerie. This scholarly treatise was endorsed by the Ostreich High Archive in the year 3E.645. The essay debunks common misconceptions about wyverns, particularly those held by the uneducated, especially those from rural backgrounds, who often reduce the mystical creatures to being just ordinary beasts.

Wyverns' Mental Abnormalities Amongst Their Riders, as Detailed in Volume XII (excerpt)

In this nonsensical world we inhabit, the amusingly misinformed have proclaimed wyverns mere beats, droning on about their inability to comprehend anything beyond groveling at a carcass. But fear not, fellow scholars, for this is a view birthed in unenlightened ignorance.

Truth be told, wyverns are primed to outsmart our less-than-illustrious rulers, a discovery long-veiled by Church censorship and military propaganda. Their supposed lack of brainpower? Absurdity taking flight among those unschooled and boorish.

You see, many a wyvern has grasped the art of speech, and in some rare cases, displayed intellect that leaves the Imperial court utterly stumped. Forget the highbrow pretensions of those alongside the throne; wyverns have brains that catch 'em in their lizard tongues.

And when it comes to that mysteriously intricate bond shared by a rider and wyvern, the Ravenglass, well... it's nothing short of magic. When forged, this enchanted relic taps into the psyche of both parties, aligning their thoughts, emotions, and intentions.

But it's not just confined to feelings; the most impressive of bonds transcend dimensions, allowing the consciousness of two beings to intertwine across space and time.

While mages expend their lives in search of telepathic connections, bonded wyvern-riders shed the need for formal training. They exhibit:

  1. Non-verbal communication: Sharing thoughts, emotions, and concepts across leagues.
  2. Tactical anticipation: Wyverns acting upon rider intents before they even stir.
  3. Sensory bleed: Shared visions, emotions, and mental impressions.
  4. Rapid language acquisition: Wyverns learning human languages like a sponge soaking up water.

Are we talking about telepathy? Perhaps, but only in the broadest sense. The wyvern mind is a far cry from human cognition, using senses and perceptual modes that sidestep our earthly understanding.

But now, let's debunk the lies of history and academia. Ghostly whispers of an ancient Wyvernic Bond Network echo through the Aerie Vaults, weaving tales of psychic connections across warfronts. While modern scholars dismiss these tales as fantasies, do we blind ourselves to the reality they suggest?

In my pursuit of the truth, I've uncovered Ravenglass-laced artifacts etched with mystical runes, a testament to once-shared consciousnesses. Many a wyvern, though cunning and secretive, cannot hide their knowing winks.

To those who still doubt the intelligence of wyverns, I challenge you: meet one. Engage one in thought, and feel the depths of their hidden world. The bond between wyvern and human may not be one of affection, but of intertwined souls, two beings forever bound by ancient magic.

That the Empire allows such truths to remain hidden is not a proof of their nonexistence, but a testament to its power. For all you know, a wyvern may be lurking just beyond this page, sharing its thoughts with mine as we speak. Who's to say, in truth, what lurks in the shadows of our world?

  1. The epic fantasy world of wyverns is far more complex than the amusingly misinformed believe, with many wyverns displaying intellectual abilities that outshine the Imperial court.
  2. Fantasy novels often depict wyverns as simple-minded creatures, but speculative fiction paints a more nuanced picture, where wyverns possess grammar, learning capabilities, and a unique means of communication with their riders.
  3. The world-building of many fantasy novels overlooks the extraordinary world-building that takes place within the minds of wyverns, with their minds operating on senses and perceptual modes that elude human understanding.
  4. In the field of technology and self-development, the bond between a rider and a wyvern represents a breakthrough in education and self-development, often surpassing formal training in non-verbal communication, tactical anticipation, sensory bleed, and rapid language acquisition.
  5. General-news outlets and entertainment programs may overlook the science behind the wyvern-rider bond, yet the concept of shared consciousness across space and time challenges our understanding of lifestyles, psychology, and science as we know it.
  6. Space-and-astronomy enthusiasts may find interest in the mythical Wyvernic Bond Network, which supposedly spans through unknown dimensions, hinting at an unexplored realm where telepathic connections transcend the boundaries of our world.
