Harpers

The Harpers are officially an open & public facing organisation, dedicated to fighting for equality & justice for the peoples of Faerun and beyond. In reality, though there goal remains true, the official organsiation serves as a cover for their real business a clandestine network of spies who work from behind the scenes to achieve their goals. No target is too big or too powerful to be beyond their reach, having worked for centuries to bring down tyranny and oppression in all its forms, whether magical or mundane. This has brought them into direct conflict with many forces, not least the power hungry Zhentarim and over the course of its history they have faced being destroyed as an organisation. Yet, their beliefs and actions continue to draw support and its decentralised and grass roots structure has meant that even after the organisation has been destroyed, it is able to reform, rebuild and come back stronger in another form. It is no accident that the Harpers areone of Faerun's oldest factions and has out lived many of its foes.

Usually found working in groups or "cells" or as sole operatives, Harper members are primarily spies & intelligence gathers who work from the shadows to achieve their goals, employing stealth, infiltration, politics and “nudge” tactics (the odd assassination not uncommon). Information is everything to a Harper & nothing cannot be solved by its exploitation. It’s ranks are drawn from all races, classes and types – anyone who signs up to its guiding beliefs can aide in the fight for equality and justice and many of Faerun's most famous heroes have been counted amongst its ranks.
