The Knights Griffon are among the Empire's most famous and easily recognizable knightly orders. The order was founded by none other than Magnus the Pious. It's job was to guard Magnus and follow him into the thick of battle against the Chaos hordes.
After the war, the Knights Griffon became the premiere guards of the Grand Theogonist and other high-ranking clergymen. This continues to this day. All members of the Knights Griffon are sworn to protect the priests and temples of Sigmar to their dying breath. That said, the Knights Griffon are not completely immune to political and honorific appointments. But even such appointees have to swear the same oaths and could (in theory) be called to battle in times of need.
When the Emperor moved his seat to Altdorf, the Grand Theogonist followed suit, and so did the bulk of the Knights Griffon. Still technically headquartered in Nuln, the Großmeister (Grand Master) resides in Altdorf and the "chapter house" there is bigger and more richly appointed that the one in Nuln.
