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.


 * 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


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


 * 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.


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


 * Alegast Amakiir -- Male eladrin ranger / Iliyanbruen guardian

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.
