The Harpers
The Harpers are an illegal organisation that operates across Epigea acting in the common good and protecting the needy from oppression and danger.
The Harpers were founded in 175 AQ to honour the sacrifice of Silvos Kimber who gave his life to protect the city of Quisling from rampaging dragons. They are named for the Harp that Silvos was fond of playing. The group was born out of the Equalist movement. The Equalists were a nascent pro-gnome organisation operating in northern Farrah. Early operations were funded by large gifts from Autolycus the Thief.
The Harpers clashed with King Tyche of Farrah over treatment of gnomes and the perceived prioritisation of rebuilding rich, human, areas and neglecting those of other groups. The Harpers operated across borders, fighting monsters that threaten people as well as governments that oppress them.
The Harpers supported the people in Levinas in throwing off the Farran occupation and declaring independence. They also have an alliance with Unos, although the exact terms of their relationship is unknown.
The Harpers are currently headed by Amelia Lightspring, who has dedicated her life to improving Farrah and fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves.

Allies
The Harpers are allies with Levinas. They assisted them in their revolution and share weapons and resources to help protect the reborn nation from retaliation by Farrah. In return Levinas provides a safe harbour for the Harpers to grow and strengthen their organisation.
Allies
Eleyne Winter is a former Harper, but her vampiric nature strains their alliance.
Harpers outlawed in Farrah
The Harpers are an outlawed organisation in Farrah. They opposed many of the policies of Queen Stephanie and Regent Occam before her.
The Harpers seek to improve and secure the country for the people, a main goal is improving the treatment of gnomes.
The government of Farrah rightly sees the Harpers as a threat to the stability and economic growth of their nation and will not tolerate their activities.
Currently the Farran government is not hunting down the Harpers due to a non-aggression pact made with Unos in return for Unos' assistance in fighting the Vetala.
Harpers outlawed in Correlon
The Harpers are outlawed in Correlon. The King of Correlon views their organisation as an extra-governmental vigilante group illegally using force to achieve aims different to that of the government of Correlon.
There is less harper activity in Correlon than in Farrah, so there is less conflict between these parties, but they are not allies.
Actively hunted each other before Wells Fargo collapsed
Before the collapse of Wells Fargo these groups would actively hunt each other down and attack each other where able.
Harpers outlawed in Farrah
Just as with the Harpers relationship to Farrah, there is no love lost between these groups. The Harpers currently enjoy the protection of the Queen's Blade's deal with Unos, but should that end conflict is likely between the organisations.
