Griffonian National Revolutionary Front

The Griffonian National Revolutionary Front, commonly abbreviated as the GNRF, was an obscure Republican political party and currently is an underground terrorist movement dedicated to ultranationalism, far-right politics, virulent anti-monarchism and radical anti-Imperial and anti-Diamond Dog policies.

Founded by Peter Alstrenner, a Yaleian social scientist and diplomat, the GNRF first rose to prominence in 978, where it supported the Republican government of Alexander Kemerskai. Alstrenner, a firm believer in traditionalism, believed that the empire was becoming "decadent and degenerate", and advocated a full revolution of the Griffonian people to achieve the "National Republic". However, Alstrenner was soon marginalized, but his group continued to attract fanatic anti-Imperials and interestingly enough, disenfranchised Bronzehill griffon minorities who were fed up with Diamond Dog control.

During the First Elections of 978, Alstrenner only received 11.6% of the vote, the lowest amount out of any of the major three candidates - him, Kemerskai, and Asper Sickleclaw. He polled high in southern Republican Bronzehill, but never reached over 50% in any conquered territory.

Alstrenner did not participate in the Long March, viewing the Republican Revolution as a failed experiment in "reformist liberalism that would only lead to the same degeneracy the nobility of the empire brought." He fled to Yale, and after Yale swore fealty to the Emperor once more, he was handed over to Imperial authorities and executed.

The GNRF fell out of fashion for years, until a recent terrorist attack in 1003, where the GNRF attempted to bomb Cloudbury and take control of the Republic - many believed Vice Marshal Reinhard Suntail had allied with the organization to attempt a coup. Suntail was sacked and sent to the North for counter-banditry measures to appease the public, and the GNRF was banned completely. However, many believe members of the GNRF are in the North with Suntail, still plotting to overthrow the government.
