The Knights of Granite House are a group of adventurers that operate out of the City of Waterdeep, under the guidance of their Patron Lord Averdeen a Merchant Prince. They started out as a group of adventurers hired to clear Granite House of the vermin that had overran it while it was empty for almost 100 years. As they were clearing it out they discovered that it had become home to a fair amount of Kobolds. They were successful in the endeavour and impressed Lord Averdeen so he made them an offer of Patronage, he would give them rooms in the Manor House, Meals with the Lord, and the Title Knight. All they would have to do in return was conduct adventures in his name, retrieve magic items for him, and of course they could keep any other magic they found, and of course tell him all about these adventures they were to go on in his name. He needed these stories so he would have something to talk about at parties and balls held within Waterdeep. From what you have learned the wealthy aristocrats are starting to found these Patronages of adventurers Lord Averdeen just happens to be one of the first.
