The Legends Alliance

The Legends Alliance is a resistance organization that struggles against the expansion of the Olimandias Hegemony.
It is a network of heroes and adventurers from all of Verden's domains, along with neutral agents who otherwise want to dismantle the hold Olimandias has over the continent. And the occasional mercenary who doesn't care where they earn their coin, of course.

Structure

The Alliance has no strict hierarchy and no single leader. Rather, it is made up of largely independent cells. Some operate entirely in fixed locations, tethered to designated safehouses, while other cells roam through the continent in the form of adventuring parties or small battalions. These cells communicate and cooperate as needed, but are not wholly dependent on each other. 
All major cities have a Legends Alliance enclave, which is led by a senior commander, or a "handler." This commander is responsible for leading operations within the region and assigning duties to available agents. They also pay hired contractors and manage the enclave budget. In roaming cells, a party or battalion usually has a designated commander to keep everyone on track. 
Agent availability varies. Some stay with an enclave for years, while others change locations frequently. A Legends Alliance operative is welcome wherever there is a safehouse. Room and board -- to some capacity -- will always be provided.
Participating in the Alliance is a voluntary act for domain members. But most domains have a significant portion of their non-resident adventurers working for the Alliance in some capacity, and the leaders of each domain help direct overall Alliance operations. They are bankrolled by both domain budgets and a cell's direct income.

Public Agenda

To dismantle the Hegemony's power over Verden and prevent the domains from being conquered.

History

The Legends Alliance was originally established by Selena Nadir, Veteran the Archfey, and other key domain leaders between the years 600 and 610. 
The Alliance was intended to be a grand military coalition between all the domains, with the intent of invading the city of Olimandias -- a feat that had never been accomplished. This army was disbanded after Selena's disappearance in the year 610. Other leaders began pointing fingers at each other, accusing one faction or another of betrayal, and the coalition slowly collapsed.
It was subsequently retooled and reworked by the more cooperative minds in the domains. Instead of working as a unified army, it was instead made into a voluntary resistance organization. This allowed the domains of offer up whatever troops "they saw fit" rather than commit their entire force to military conflict. 
The Legends Alliance has been fighting the Hegemony with varying success since the year 620.
