It strives to maintain peace and stability across its lands, which in turn drives commerce and prosperity and helps maintain their own power and wealth. The Alliance is exactly that; a series of powerful individuals who work together for ultimately their own benefit; disagreements between its members are common and careful negotiation and diplomacy is key to its inner workings.Its members make no secret that the Alliance is their to protect their own interest, will side with the status quo most times and do not make any claim to a greater good. However, they are quick to point out that the stability they strive for and the threats they fight does often coincide with interests of all.
Membership is exclusive only to the most powerful and those with the necessary reach, influence and resources to be able to actively contribute to the Alliance. Once selected, the wider Alliance membership has to debate & votes on any accepting any new members to its ranks. Below them sits the combined might and resources of its members though alongside this sits a multitude of carefully selected agents for the Alliance. These operatives are chosen for their loyalty and skill and will be equipped with the best equipment and training coin can buy. Out in the wider world, they have access full resources and support of the Alliance to fulfil their objectives and make powerful and dangerous opponents.
