The Company of Art Blades

This band of adventurers started out in a very cold Eleint, amongst the Dalelands. Each seeking a path all their own, but together forming a stronger bond of loyalty and friendship. The sun elven wizard of the group, in a very forward thinking human manner, sent a request to the Royal Kingdom of Cormyr, seeking to make the small band official in the eyes of the surrounding human kingdoms. A lesson the gold elf was quickly learning, to survive in human dominated realms, one must either be human, or act human. She sent a formal request to the Royal Regent Alusair, offering services of the very capable band in return for formal recognition of the Company. An official charter was drawn and solidified with the Royal seal.

A charter of this nature, signed by the Forest Kingdom, is not taken lightly. The Dalelands while not Cormyrian in nature, will undoubtedly recognize the trust given the adventurers. Harpers as well will respect the formality of the document and recognize the station it provides. Sembia will not be impressed by the document and will warily regard the company as operatives of Cormyr, and that such a paper has no bearing on Sembian business. Merchants of Sembia may still see a band of capable adventurers and may be unable to resist the possibility of committing some royal subterfuge.

Below is the Charter that is signed by her royal Highness, Regent of Cormyr, Alusair.
