The Lords Alliance
“Threats to home must be terminated without prejudice.
Fight for the security and glory of your people!”
The Lords’ Alliance is a coalition of rulers from
cities and towns across Astoria (primarily in the North), who collectively
agree that some solidarity is needed to keep evil at bay. The rulers of
Talgory, Kolvia, Dansanmark, Vananway, and other free cities in the region
dominate the Alliance, and every lord in the Alliance works for the fate and
fortune of his or her own settlement above all others.
The agents of the Alliance include sophisticated
bards, zealous paladins, talented mages, and grizzled warriors. They are chosen
primarily for their loyalty, and are trained in observation, stealth, innuendo,
and combat. Backed by the wealthy and the privileged, they carry quality
equipment (often disguised to appear common), and spellcasters tend to have a
large number of scrolls with communication spells.
To seek out and destroy threats to their homelands,
agents of the Lords’ Alliance must be highly trained at what they do. Few can
compare to their skills in the field. They fight for the glory and the security
of their people and for the lords who rule over them, and they do so with
pride. However, the Lords’ Alliance can only survive if its members “play nice”
with one another, which requires a certain measure of diplomacy. Rogue agents
within the Lords’ Alliance are rare, but defections have been known to occur.
BELIEFS
- If civilization is to survive, all must unite against the dark forces that threaten it.
- Glory comes from protecting one’s home and honoring its leaders.
- The best defense is a strong offense.
