THE LORDS' ALLIANCE
The Lords' Alliance, also known as the Council of Lords, was a partnership of merchant cities founded in 1325 DR.[6][7] Its members were from the Sword Coast, the North and Western Heartlands, including Waterdeep, Silverymoon , Baldur's Gate , and Neverwinter (CITY), as well as other free cities and towns in the region, which make up the bulk of the organization. It was formed to oppose the growing influence of the Black Network ( ZHENTARIM ) in the North, as well as the Shadow Thieves of Amn.
The alliance usually 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 could quickly gain status, as well as powerful friends by helping the alliance, but can just as easily make enemies of the sinister Zhentarim as a result.
During the Cult of the Dragon plot to release Tiamat in Faerûn, the Alliance was one of the many factions who rose up to oppose the dragon goddess attempt at freedom.[3][9]
