The
Knights Griffon are arguably the most drilled and
militaristic Order in the modern Empire. Their daily
rituals mostly consist of strict martial training.
A veteran Knight Griffon is the epitome of discipline
and soldiery on the field of battle. He is able and
willing to hold his ground, attack, or retreat in
good order should the situation require it. The Knights
Griffon were founded in the year 2305 by Emperor Magnus
the Pious as part of his rebuilding of the Empire
after the Great War against Chaos. Magnus requested
one hundred of the most loyal and devout Knights Panther
to join him at his court in Nuln, where he formed
an Order of devout Templars directly responsible for
the protection of the Temple to Sigmar in the Empire's
then-capital. The Knights were deeply honored by this
selection and accepted the offer, and the Order of
Knights Griffon was incepted. When the crown passed
to the Princes of Altdorf in 2429, the Knights Griffon
moved their Chapterhouse to the Cathedral of Sigmar
in Altdorf to maintain their vow to protect the heart
of Sigmar's realm. As a result, there is some animosity
between the Knights Griffon and the Reiksguard, each
of whom views the other as imposing on their traditional
role.
