The Griffins

Supposedly founded thirty years ago by a pair of bored nobles, the Griffins are a gang who focus their efforts on giving folk the illegal things they want, rather than victimizing folk. They deal drugs, fence, sell smuggled goods, and arrange for illegal gambling dens, all with the aim of thrilling rich folk and parting them from their coin.

  • Badges: Brown leather bracer, with three slashes as though from talons, on left forearm. Many of the Griffins get tattoos of the gang's sign (the griffin) as well.
  • Signs: A stylized griffin symbol, usually painted outside of establishments hosting Griffin Gathers.
  • Activities: Drug dealing, fencing, middlemen for smuggler sales, host illegal gambling dens (in events called "Griffin Gathers"), illegal pit fighting.
  • Hierarchy: The leader of the gang is referred to as the "Griffin King or Queen," or sometimes just "the Griff" for short. The current Griffin Queen is a human woman named Valesta. The gang's lieutenants are called "Wings," and they usually divide leadership of the rank and file between themselves.
