TEAM BIO

Altdorf is the largest and wealthiest city in the Empire and is home to the Imperial Court. It is a cosmopolitan city-state: not only do folk of all ranks, species, creeds, and backgrounds rub shoulders freely, but even wizards are a common sight, rarely receiving more hostility than a wary glance or muttered blessing. There is a populous Elf quarter near the Reiksport. The old alliance between the Empire and Dwarfs has stood since Sigmar’s time and ensures many Dwarf clans also reside there in tight-knit communities. There is even a healthy Halfling population, with most earning their crusts serving fine food and better ales in Altdorf ’s hostelries, many of which are guarded by the city’s sizeable Ogre population.

The Cathedral of Sigmar is the chapter house of the Order of the Knights Griffon who are a knightly order founded by Magnus the Pious just following the Great War Against Chaos. They are tasked with protecting Temples of Sigmar, in particular the Holy Temple of Sigmar in Altdorf. The Knights Griffon are arguably the most drilled and militaristic Order in the modern Empire. Their daily rituals mostly consist of strict martial training. To the Knights Griffon, defeat is an unthinkable event, brought on solely by the actions or inactions of others. As a result, they are slow to flee a losing fight, and will never refuse a martial challenge.
