The
secret society known as the Harpers has been disbanded and rebuilt several
times over its long history. The latest incarnation of the group retains its
focus on gathering information, keeping a close watch on the balance of power
in Faerûn, and promoting fairness and equality in quiet, unobtrusive ways.
Harpers try to keep out of the public eye, preferring secrecy to fame and using
knowledge to win the day over brute force. However, as the Cult of the Dragon
grows more brazen and destructive, the Harpers are forced to act more openly in
their opposition.
