The Coalition
"We all must take into account the intentions of our makers — perhaps you and I more than anyone."The Coalition is an organization allegedly operating in Faerûn as of mid-1493, though according to Cal, it seems they've been working towards their goals for years, at least. Currently, all of the information our heroes have on the Coalition is a) in Osrin and Ri-An's heads and Osrin's notebook, and b) from Cal, who seems to be definitively on their bad side.
—Ri-An, to Bodaway
Structure
The Coalition is allegedly run by a figure known as the King, with all the King's lieutenants also operating under "the [insert title here]" names. Their talents seem to span across many arcane and martial arts alike, and by the sounds of things, they've gained quite a lot of support from lesser figures, and a decent amount of traction.Goals
Their goal, according to Cal, is "equality, freedom at any cost." They are, allegedly, "anarchists," who seek to "create a world where everyone does as they please" and "none suffer or starve," aiming to have "no laws" as part of this goal, which is — again, allegedly — leading to their "allowing atrocities." They have, from Cal's reports, taken hold of at least two major cities — Athkatla and Luthcheq — and are seeking to dismantle the Lords' Alliance.Known Members

Author's Notes
Q: "Where are the Butcher, the Baker and the Candlestick Maker?" - Sylvain's likely first question about this group. Are there "pretty maids all in a row" as well? A: If there were pretty maids, Bren would take care of them.
