History

The order of the griffin used to be an order of retired knights from the Orrin Empire, elite among the warriors of the empire who embarked on a journey for justice.
However, like everything else the Great Extinction wiped out the order.
A group of independent knights, following the tenets of Bahamut, rediscovered ruins of the Griffin Spire with traces of that ancient order and decided to revive it. They started to be known once again as the Order of the Griffin, and more knights joined their ranks. Although they are knights of Bahamut, they have also embraced the name by incorporating elements associated with griffins, such as riding griffins.
