Entirely possible. I've heard that Almyra was the first country to truly tame them, and they have the longest history of wyvern-riding being a major aspect of their culture, so presumably they'd be the ones to have records of what the very first tamed wyverns were like...but they're also a country with a strong oral tradition. Such records likely wouldn't exist in written form - or, if they did, they were probably written up centuries after the actual events by scholars concerned with more material records, and who knows what changes or omissions to that knowledge might have occurred before it was ever committed to paper.

[Claude isn't quite sure how much he wants to tell Geralt about himself, including the fact that he himself is Almyran. Not necessarily because he thinks Geralt would - or could - use that information against him, but because Claude has some friends he hasn't really...told the truth about himself yet. He doesn't want a careless word from someone who doesn't know who has or hasn't been told to reach their ears.

Not that Geralt really lets many words at all past his lips, careless or otherwise...but the best guard for a secret is one's own self. If Claude controls the information, he doesn't have to worry about such things at all.]


His name is Mori. It means 'horse' in an ancient language. Which, well...I named my horse Wyvern. I thought it was funny back when I was a kid...okay, I admit, it's still funny. Especially the looks on people's faces when I tell them that.
