Generic Griffon Cavalry rider

A Griffon Cavalry rider was a member of the City Watch of Waterdeep, namely the city's Griffon Cavalry.

Activities
Griffon Cavalry Riders mainly patrolled the skies above Waterdeep - namely, watching out for and reporting fires, as well as attacking fliers above the city's skies.

Training
Griffon Cavalry Riders and their mounts were trained atop Peaktop Aerie, where civilians weren't welcome. It was considered that at least moderate knowledge of animal handling was required to mount and ride a griffon.

Possesions
By the late 1400's, Griffon Cavalry Riders were generally equipped with a lance, dagger, light crossbow, half plate armor and a unique consumable magic ring, which allowed the wearer to cast feather fall on itself as a reaction to falling. Once the spell was cast, the ring became non-magical.
