The White Griffons
The White Griffons was a band of adventurers based out of Neverwinter that rose to prominence during the years leading to the Second Sundering.

Organization
The group was led by Kaylara Thann, a Waterdhavian noble and actually the last surviving member of the line of Alagondar. Alongside her dragonborn bodyguard Dargor and a bunch of adventurers hired by patriarch Dann Thann (actually Danilo Thann, who had his lifespan prolonged magically) to protect her, Kay went to Neverwinter to reclaim her birthright.

Membership
The White Griffons started as a company of 5 adventurers, but after a few missions, some members died and Kaylara had to hire new members. As of 1491 DR, the band was composed by 7 members:
 * Kaylara "Kay" Thann (Alagondar) -- Female human bard (1) / Neverwinter Noble
 * The last living descendant of Nasher Alagondar, she became a bard inspired by tales of her "ancestor", Danilo Thann.


 * Alara Moonwell -- female moon elf wizard (bladesinger) / Seeker of Illefarn
 * A young moon elf who lived in Ardeep Forest, she departed for Neverwinter after she heard about the returned eladrin from Iliyanbruen. She later joined the Griffons. Current wizard of the company.


 * Alegast Amakiir -- Male eladrin ranger / Iliyanbruen guardian
 * A lone wanderer searching for the secrets of ancient Iliyanbruen. He is the elder brother of Mayara Sulbrandil.


 * Brenn Thasler -- Male human paladin of Torm
 * A knight in the service of Torm, who has sworn to see Neverwinter rebuilt


 * Garek MacGann -- Male human fighter (4e subclass: Knight) / Son of Alagondar
 * A former member of the Sons of Alagondar turned adventurer. He joined the White Griffons after he found out Kaylara was a true descendant of Nasher Alagondar.


 * Kerrhylon Dargor -- Male dragonborn fighter (eldritch knight) (2) / Harper agent (4e class: Swordmage)
 * An escaped slave from the Laerakondan realm of Skelkor who by accident appeared in Waterdeep and was hired as a bodyguard by the Thanns. He was also an 'accidental' member of the Harpers of Neverwinter. He knows an rare style of magic that is common in Abeir but that damages the Weave of Toril, although he rarely uses it. (3)


 * Nig Azai -- Male gnome cleric of Oghma / Oghma's faithful
 * An erudite from Waterdeep, trying to restore the old House of Knowledge


 * Quon Vrago -- Female tiefling warlock (Star Pact/Old One Patron: Caiphon) / Spellscarred Harbinger
 * A young warlock who had made a pact with the dreaded star Caiphon, and that had an spellscar that allowed her to twist her fate.

Former Members

 * Kara the Oghmanite -- female half-elf cleric
 * An Oghmanite priest from Waterdeep and one of the original members of the Griffons. She was left to care for Griffon Keep when the Griffons took their ill-fated mission on the Chasm. She became a priestess in the House of Knowledge. She is an ally of the Griffons after their return.

Activities
The White Griffons were concerned primarily with the welfare of the people of Neverwinter. While they sometimes took jobs in behalf of Dagult Neverember, they preferred work that would help the inhabitants of the city. They aided individuals in need, slew several rampaging monsters, and helped with the rebuilding efforts of the city.

Base of Operations
Originally the White Griffons operated out of the Beached Leviathan. They later relocated to a keep located in the southeastern quadrant of Neverwinter.

Griffon Keep
To do.

Relationships
The White Griffons were allies of Dagult Neverember, at least publicly. Although Kaylara wanted to reclaim her birthright, she was aware that Neverember had the funds to actually rebuild the city. Her intent was to reveal her status as heir after Neverwinter had been rebuild, although she was not sure on how to deal with Neverember after that. Whatever their reasons, their public alliance with Lord Neverember made the White Griffons targets of all of his enemies.

The White Griffons were also allies of the Harpers and the Graycloaks faction of the Sons of Alagondar, that were aware of Kaylara's true intentions.

Possessions
The group owned a white griffon, named Crookytail, hence their name.
