Lords' Alliance

The Lords' Alliance is a political and economic coalition of cities spread throughout Mudston Island. The alliance owes its success to effective cooperation and diplomacy between its members, who work to align their separate settlements toward a mutual purpose. This cooperation is easier during times of crisis, making the Lords' Alliance a powerful force when threats require a united front.

Uncommon rarity: +1 weapon or +1 shield, ring of mind shielding Rare rarity: +1 armor, cloak of the mountebank
To procure the item, you must go on minor adventures for your faction (represented by downtime days), perform bribes, charitable acts, and provide provisions (represented by the expenditure of gold) in service of your faction.

Wardukes are trusted voices within the Lords' Alliance. They are looked up as champions of the Alliance. Currently the only Wardukes are those who own land and vassals in the Mudston Island.
