Brotherhood of the Griffon

The Brotherhood of the Griffon is a mercenary company led by Aoth Fezim. The organization takes its name from its griffon riders. Although the Brotherhood is best known for its griffon riders, they have companies of archers and spearmen as well. The Brotherhood is a continuation of Aoth's Thayan Griffon Legion and is currently employed by the ancient Red dragon Tchazzar.

Thayan War
In the years after the spellplague, Aoth founded the Brotherhood in Aglarond. The Brotherhood worked for Aglarond but, when Aoth learned of Szass Tam's plan to conduct the Ritual of Unmaking, the Brotherhood broke their contract with Aglarond, even going so far as to fight their former employers.

Aoth led the Brotherhood and the Zulkirs' forces into Thay where they sucessfully disrupted Szass Tam's ritual, possibly saving Toril from destruction.

Impiltur
After defeating Szass Tam, Aoth led the Brotherhood to Impiltur where they took a contract to eliminate a cult of demon worshipers. The Brotherhood was betrayed by a noble and were unable to save a village from destruction by the cult. Because of their failure, they were dismissed from their employment in Impiltur.

Chessenta
After the disaster in Impiltur, the only employment the Brotherhood could find was with a noble from Luthcheq. There had been a series of mysterious murders in the city and the noble was concerned that the city militia was unable to maintain order. Aoth and the Brotherhood tracked down and killed the murderers who were Abishai disguised as dragonborn.

Two officers in the Brotherhood discovered Tchazzar imprisoned in the Shadowfell. They rescued Tchazzar and he returned to Chessenta to reclaim his throne.

Shortly after Tcahazzar's return, Threskel invaded Chessenta. The Brotherhood lifted the siege of Soolabax and were key to defeating the Threskelan forces in two battles that ended the war and forced Threskel to become a vassal state of Chessenta.
