Guilds
Across the region several notable groups have taken up prominence following the events of the Storm's Fury. New and old adventurers may rejoin the efforts to bring some form of order (or chaos) to this savage frontier.
Argent Legion
Leader: Lady Eleanor Ashpride
Representative: Llarel Sunbringer
​
Following the Convergence, Ashpride and her knights returned to Silverymoon to debrief and discuss their next steps.They represent the forces of the Silver Marches and answer directly to Silverymoon. This ultimately led to her and her most trusted Lieutenants arriving in the Oasis last season as the "Knights in White". You brought them supplies, and they paid you for them. Who else could really fund such an operation anyway? They were instrumental in building up Varelmere with all your hard fought supplies. Which is where their embassy is located. Though the city is not directly under their control.
Order of the Radiant Heart
Leader: Commander Cassius 'Lightbringer' Grieves
Representative: Ken 'Silver Arm' Cloudrunner
​​
A group of benevolent paladins, and clerics, operate throughout Faerûn. While primarily devoting themselves to Torm, Tyr, and Helm they are not exclusive in that regard. Many paladins and clerics fall underneath their banner and they have come to the Marches after hearing of a demon problem. More than ready to lend their holy hands to help solve the woes of the region, they work diligently to solve the mysteries that still remain with Hellgate Keep. Their eyes are still upon anything else demonic, undead, and otherwise.
The Keepers
Leader: Andrea 'Black Knife' Cane
Representative: Zalia 'Quickhands' Bast
​​
The Windseekers have had a monopoly on the economic efforts for as long as anyone can remember. They survived the war, and lined their pockets. With their transition to a new home, the area was ripe for the picking. And the Keepers jumped in to mark their claims. Helping fund the new wharf that serves as the northmost trade point on the Delimbiyr River and the newly created Converging Sea left after the destruction wrought in the war with New Ascalhorn. They've set up within a quarter of Varelmere, and their docks are a bit more shady and dangerous than those across the way.
The Seekers
Leader: Isun
Representative: Ardeth Fehr
​​
Led by Isun and Orvius, this group has been an integral part of the Marches. From a humble start as a travelling merchant caravan to a prospering city, and now to refugees. It is hard to speak of the history of the Marches without including the Windseekers. But throughout it all they have maintained that they are about freedom, liberty and prosperity.
They may have moved their base of operation, but they still offer fair and equitable trade for all. As long as adventurers have the coin, they're always happy to do business. They strive to keep law and order within the city of Varelmere and are committed to rebuilding.
Tribe of Many
Leader: Krog Blackwolf
Representative: Drok'tar the Mighty
​​
A large conglomerate of many races that represent the hated masses. Those who do not fit in elsewhere or just those that want to make their own destiny. Rules, laws, or anything of the like don't hold much weight to the Tribe. Strength, and honor above all else.
​
This group makes up the remains of the Storm's Crown and various other destitute groups that have come together and, with a little funding and scavenging of resources, built themselves a fortification on the western edge of Hellgate Keep. Forming a loose alliance with the forces of the Underdark to guard the entrance to their depths from would be crusaders.
Bregan D'aerthe
Leader: D'Raizen 'Shadowblade' Dram
Representative: Zar'on D'estura
​​
With so much focus on the surface as of late; a power vacuum is left in the Underdark. The Drow of this guild allied themselves with a band of Duergar and their Svirfneblin slaves. Together, they formed a proper settlement in the ruins of the Underdark. A proper place in the dark to do their dealings and create a much needed haven.
​
With their alliance with the Tribe of Many above, these two groups form two parts of a new hub for any brave enough to venture into the dark. With all the amenities that many have come to expect in the Oasis, it has made up the darks for any and all who seek it.
