Royal griffin

[Sir Whiskers]

Most games, I find them on Verona, near the barbarian tents.

I don't use the Officer's Patent, but I wonder if you can promote griffins to royal griffins? If so, all you need is to promote one, then you can use Sacrifice to create more (combined with Hypnosis, Resurrect, and/or Time Back, you might not even lose any troops).

Lastly, you can edit the Hero.txt file to start with Royal Griffins (or any other troops you want). Just export the file from the Sessions.kfs file, edit it, then save it to your mod folder.
