The FDX Corps
Forging Frontiers, Unveiling Horizons
Origins
The FDX Corps traces its origins to the Woodsmen's Guild's
recognition of the burgeoning demand for exploration and
expansion into uncharted territories. Comprised of skilled
adventurers, scouts, and pioneers drawn from diverse
backgrounds, the Corps was formed with the mission to
venture into the unknown, chart new lands, and establish
footholds in untamed wilderness.
History
In 1420 DR, FDX and the Ironpick Consortium clashed over
control of the Porcupine Mine in the Tisdale District.
Mediators intervened to broker a ceasefire and negotiations,
leading to a compromise where both factions agreed to share
ownership of the mine. Though animosities linger, the
resolution prevented further bloodshed and preserved the
region's economic prosperity.
Leadership
Governance of the FDX Corps is entrusted to a council of
seasoned adventurers and esteemed guild leaders, whose
collective wisdom and expertise guide the organization's
strategic direction. Tasked with coordinating expeditionary
missions, allocating resources, and making critical decisions,
the council ensures that the Corps operates efficiently and
effectively in pursuit of its objectives.
Relations with other Factions
They have a strong alliance with the Greenheart Alliance,
sharing similar values and goals regarding environmental
protection and sustainable development. They have a hostile
relationship with the Shadow Vein Division, as FDX views
them as exploiting the region's resources without regard for
environmental consequences. They may have some trade
relations with the Ironpick Consortium, but it's likely limited
due to ideological differences regarding environmental impact.
The Shadow Vein Division
Mastering Shadows, Shaping Destinies
Origins
Founded by the Iron Throne, a formidable mercantile and
political entity rooted in Faerun, the Shadow Vein Division
emerged as a clandestine arm dedicated to the pursuit of
wealth, power, and influence. Specializing in covert
operations and exploration of uncharted territories, the
Division operates on the fringes of society, its origins
shrouded in secrecy and intrigue.
Goals
The Shadow Vein Division's overarching objective is the
acquisition of valuable resources, strategic intelligence, and
territorial expansion in service to the Iron Throne's
ambitions. Employing a blend of stealth, subterfuge, and
manipulation, they seek to exploit untapped natural wealth,
establish strongholds in key regions, and weaken rival
factions through covert machinations.
Leadership
Commanded by an enigmatic council of influential figures
within the Iron Throne's inner circle, the Shadow Vein
Division operates under the guidance of powerful merchants,
seasoned spymasters, and astute political operatives.
Operating from the shadows, these clandestine leaders wield
their influence discreetly, manipulating events to serve the
interests of the Iron Throne and further its agenda.
Relations with other Factions
They have a strained relationship with the other factions,
particularly with the Greenheart Alliance and FDX.
They see themselves as the dominant force in the region and
often clash with the other factions over territory and
resources. They may have a more neutral or even slightly
positive relationship with the Ironpick Consortium due to
shared economic interests, but it's still marked by
competition and occasional conflict.
