Dzurlord (ISBN 081256410), page 3: Next is the lyorn, which looks like a medium-size golden-haired dog, except for the horn sticking out of the middle of its head. The Lyorn represents tradition. The tiassa is a large panther with batlike wings, and the House represents catalyst and inspiration. This is from the introduction, which was written by Brust. Not many details, but its likely canonical. --KG
