Griffonstone in The Fault in Our Cutie Marks.
Depiction in the series
Season five

Past Griffonstone.
In the episode's present day, the Cutie Map sends Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash to solve a friendship problem in Griffonstone. When they arrive, they discover the city to a small, shabby-looking town populated by rude griffon citizens. According to Grampa Gruff, Griffonstone used to be a grand city of proud and united griffons thanks to the Idol of Boreas. However, sometime during the reign of the fourteenth king Guto, a monster named Arimaspi attacked and stole the idol. The idol was eventually lost when Arimaspi fell into the Abysmal Abyss, causing Griffonstone to fall into a state of misery.

Present Griffonstone.
Griffonstone is particularly notable in that it lacks most basic businesses and establishments, including a bakery and party store, and singing is apparently outlawed. Most griffons living in Griffonstone are impolite and greedy, shoving their way past others and refusing services without the promise of bits.
Season six
In The Crystalling - Part 1, Twilight Sparkle mentions Griffonstone as an option for the location of Starlight Glimmer's first friendship lesson. In Stranger Than Fan Fiction, Twilight mentions Griffonstone again as the location of an upcoming friendship summit with Princess Celestia.
In The Fault in Our Cutie Marks, Griffonstone is featured again in Gabby's flashback. Gabby works in the city as a cheerful yet unappreciated mail delivery griffon, and Gilda continues to work selling griffon scones.
Season eight
In School Daze - Part 1, Grampa Gruff brings Gallus to the School of Friendship to represent Griffonstone until Chancellor Neighsay closes down the school. In part 2, Rainbow Dash travels to Griffonstone in an attempt to bring back Gallus after deciding to reopen the school.
In The Hearth's Warming Club, Gilda, Gabby, and Grampa Gruff appear in Griffonstone celebrating the Blue Moon Festival. In Friendship University, Griffonstone is pictured on a postcard that Star Swirl the Bearded previously sent to Twilight.
Season nine
In Uprooted, Gallus returns to Griffonstone briefly in order to get permission from Grampa Gruff to return to school early. In The Ending of the End - Part 2, Griffonstone is briefly seen again when Gallus rallies the other griffons to help in the battle against Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, and Cozy Glow.
