        Gilda remembered visiting the Capital City once as a cub. Her mother had brought her there before they made the travel to the Western Ports to go to Equestria. She remembered marveling at the splendor of its city walls, the patrolling Wind Knights. She remembered her mother, who told her the city was proof that the Gryphons can do anything. Even now, many years later, the image wasn't tarnished. The city was well-maintained, both structurally and socially. There were still some cases of violent outbreaks, though it was lower than expected, especially coming from a city where the majority living there were griffins.
