V'Orlan Family/Opal Griffons

The Opal Griffons are one of the oldest mercenary companies in Perdan, though their fortunes and fame have been through peaks and valleys, most notably valleys in the past twenty years. They have a strong martial tradition, and keep the faith of Sanctus Acies though noble priests of the faith have long since perished, and with them their secrets, senior ranks of the Opal Griffons have always been laymen in the faith.

Armed with half-plate, many are armed with two or three weapons of a notable quality, with strong oak and steel spears being carried by every soldier.

The original Opal Griffons were wiped out to the man in the final stages of the Siege of Bescanon, and were re-raised as the New Griffons a week later, bearing the same colours.
