Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
The Lucas County Courthouse, in Toledo. This odd sort of long-necked griffin seems to be balancing a fountain on its nose. The French Royal Arms, below, are in honor of the first European rulers of Northwest Ohio.
"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”
