Lords' Alliance
The Lords' Alliance, also known as the Council of Lords, was a partnership of merchant cities founded in 1325 DR. Its members were from the Sword Coast, the North and Western Heartlands, including Waterdeep, Silverymoon, Baldur's Gate, and Neverwinter, as well as other free cities and towns in the region, which made up the bulk of the organization. It was formed to oppose the growing influence of the Black Network in the North, as well as the Shadow Thieves of Amn.
These are the member states and their leaders as of 1489 DR.
Amphail: Lord Dauner Ilzimmer
Baldur's Gate: Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate and Marshal of the Flaming Fists Ulder Ravengard
Daggerford: Duchess Morwen Daggerford
Longsaddle: Dowell Harpell
Mithral Hall: Queen Dagnabbet Waybeard
Mirabar: Marchion Selin Ramur
Neverwinter: Lord Protector Dagult Neverember
Silverymoon: High Mage Taern Hornblade
Waterdeep: Open Lord Laeral Silverhand (she was also the leader of the Alliance)
Yartar: Waterbaron Nestra Ruthiol
Member-states of the Lords' Alliance served to better the collective regions of the North and the Western Heartlands as a whole. They achieved this through well-wrought mercantile treaties and official pledges to ensure their collective safety, especially along prominent trade routes. The collective group bargained with foreign trading partners and even regulated preferred relations and treatment of certain groups long-feared by many people of the Coast and the North, such as goblinoids and orc tribes.
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.
