{{user commentary|
Attack, defense, speed and spells like [[Bless]] and [[Prayer]] are very useful for Royal Griffins. With all of this, Royal Griffins are much better in siege against enemy castles. With Edric, they can kill the most important defensive unit and survive all attack. Of course, Archangels can revive fallen Griffins.
Compared to other level 3 units, both Griffins have adequate stats with the only weakness being their relatively low damage. Edric's specialty will not only make Royal Griffins the 2nd fastest level 3 unit at 10 [[Speed]] (only [[Serpent Fly and Dragon Fly|Dragon Flies]] are faster), but also somewhat mitigate their low damage thanks to the increased attack. His secondary skills make him a decent starting hero while further improving the performance of the Griffins as Armorer leads to less casualties (improving the strength of the Griffin's retaliations) and Leadership can allow for extra attacks (along with mitigating the chance of losing turns due to low morale). Keep in mind that as a Knight, Edric has the lowest chance of all the hero classes to learn [[Earth Magic]] which can cause issues later in the game if he doesn't learn it due to the improvements spells such as [[Resurrection]], [[Town Portal]], and [[Slow]] get when cast with Expert Earth Magic.

Story[edit | hide | hide all]

Edric does not appear in the story text of any campaign levels.

1 Gregory Fulton has suggested in his Tavern of Might and Magic Interview that griffins being tamed by Edric's "great-grandfather" is probably an error and should likely be replaced by "ancestor", as that happened during or before Rion Gryphonheart's time, which was much more than three human generations ago. Alternatively, this great grandfather, or another ancestor of Edric, may have been a non-human or an unusually long-lived human.

Trivia / Lost Lore Lost Lore[edit | hide]

In an early build of the game, Edric was named Desslock. A knight by that name appears in Kreegan reference Lost Lore. This Desslock serves as XanthorXanthorXanthorXanthor Xanthor's guide on a trip to the Contested Lands. He may or may not be a different person than Edric. The name is a reference to the Gamespot reviewer Stefan Janicki (aka "Desslock"). Desslock was likely also the inspiration for the default seer name Esslock.
