The Verdigris Alliance

The Verdigris Alliance was formed roughly five years after the elves began exiling their neutral and evil brethren through the gateways. It began when a few powerful druids gathered and acknowledged the need to spread their help and influence to the barren lands that served as their prison. However, such an ambitious undertaking required aid, so the druids began recruiting people to their cause. It was slow going at first, but with scarce food or farmland available, their numbers grew steadily. Scouts, rangers, explorers, and many others came to the druids to seek their aid and provide service in return. When an entire thieves' guild negotiated for a contract with them, the pact formally created the Verdigris Alliance.

Organization: several thousand humans, elves, and a few other races. The most influential members are the original twenty-one druids, who use their magic to provide food to their own organization and to new refugees. They also help to tame the barren lands to make them fruitful and ready for settlement. The contract negotiators are almost always rogues, and scouts and rangers are employed for land surveying and sometimes security.

Influence: As a group, the Verdigris Alliance is often sought out by one community or another. For a significant fee, the Alliance's aid can be purchased for a time to help with land development and crop growth.
