Veiled Alliance (DSR3)
Few safe havens exist on Athas¸ and fewer still for preservers. In the hidden places of the cities - a potter's shop¸ a crematoria¸ even under the very palace of a sorceror-king - the Veiled Alliance abides¸ aiding and protecting preservers and auxiliaries¸ and standing against defilers. In Tyr¸ Balic¸ Draj¸ Gulg¸ Nibenay¸ Raam¸ and Urik¸ protection from the dark forces of Athas endures. Secret recognition signals preserve their identities. For those seeking membership comes a testing: after true intentions are proven¸ tests are administered and¸ if failed¸ leads to a terrible death. If successful¸ the candidate looks forward to years of perilous work and strife - the results of which may never see the pages of a journal. And no one quits the Alliance without facing requital. Veiled Alliance presents the DM with all the information required to create Alliance-centered campaigns on Athas - detailed information about the five aims¸ adventure hooks for each Alliance¸ recognition signals¸ and maps of various headquarters. All the features you need to create thrilling¸ fundamental challenges to the Alliance on the ruthless world of Athas are now revealed.
