What the rows below think of these → | Lords’ Alliance | Order of the Gauntlet | Harpers | Zhentarim |
We do what is needed to keep law and order across the lands of the alliance | Think they are better than everyone, not realistic, not supportive of those who must lead | Don’t trust anyone, so why trust them? Unclear when support or work against | Useful mercenaries for hire when needed, but costs high and always grabbing own power | |
Put the power of the city lords above the well-being of the people and creatures of the lands | We punish and stand against Evil in all forms and defend those who are Good | Allies in the cause, but can do more harm than good with their aggression and self-empowering | Absent morals/ethics, power, glory, money by any means. Thieves, spies, assassins. | |
A stabilizing force, but acting first in the interests of the dictators and despots | Have the right goals, but believe they can just wait around and respond to threats | We are the first & last line of defense vs. those who seek to destroy our world | Their own interests come first, and their goals are corrupt. Darkhold well-named. | |
Keep them afraid and short-handed so they must keep us legit and well-paid by their lords | Deluded holy fanatics with goals based on a soft world of sunshine and rainbows | Rivals if not enemies, do not even try to provide a message or service in the open | There must always be a top power, we have the focus and means to be that |
