Lords' Alliance
The Lords' Alliance, known more commonly as the "Northern Alliance" is a military alliance, trade- and diplomatic agreement between the Northern Principalities that exists to protect the sovereignty of these City States, and to preserve the peace among the civilized nations in the North.
Origin and Politics
The humans of the North mostly inherited their respective capitals from the ruins of Myth Drannor's outlaying settlements, meaning the humans of the North, who are the majority race there, originally lived under Elven Imperialist Rule - with the rise of powerful human nations, such as Cormyr and Amn in the vicinity of the Northern realms, it became a priority for the Northerners to protect the sovereignty of their respective city states, and to prevent them from falling under someone else's thumb. Ironically, the Lords' Alliance comes very close to resembling an Empire ruled from Baldur's Gate.Notable Members
The Principality of Waterdeep - A driving political force behind the Northern Alliance. The Principality of Neverwinter - Despite a recent decline, Neverwinter is both a large and powerful member of the Alliance. The Barony of Desarin - The City of Yartar has grown considerably in power since the decline of Neverwinter began and has recently moved out from Neverwinter's shadow. The Republic of Luruar - The Constitutional Magocratic Republic of Luruar is better known as the Silver Marches and is an important member of the Alliance that has cemented an alliance between the Harpers and the Lords' Alliance, due to the importance of the Luruar capital of Silverymoon to the Harpers. The Principality of Baldur's Gate - The largest and most powerful member of the alliance by far, and perhaps the one that most frequently comes under political attack due to its proximity to Amn that frequently attempts to use its larger size, being a full nation, against Baldur's Gate politically. Baldur's Gate commands military forces in excess of the remainder of the Alliance. The Republic of Icewind Dale - Icewind Dale relies heavily upon the Alliance to protect them from Luskan.History
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.
