Lord's Alliance

Overview

The Lords' Alliance is a political and economic coalition of cities spread throughout the North and the Sword Coast. The alliance owes its success to effective cooperation and diplomacy between its members, who work to align their separate settlements toward a mutual purpose. This cooperation is easier during times of crisis, making the Lords' Alliance a powerful force when threats require a united front.   The alliance has hired adventurers to work for them in the past for tasks ranging from gathering simple information, or even for use in raids against Zhentarim strongholds and outposts. Local adventurers can quickly gain status, as well as powerful friends by helping the alliance, but can just as easily make enemies of the Zhentarim as a result.   The organization is known far and wide, both exalted and feared across Faerun. The organization's chief belief is that civilization and prosperity is key and it can be achieved by bringing stability and peace to all places, by force if necessary.
