The Oerth of the Adventurers stories is a unique place, home to several powerful and unique groups beyond those commonly known. Here you will find details about some of these alliances and their members, as well as their current situation.




The Nine

status: disbanded
brief: The Nine were an alliance of evildoers formed by the lich Xusia. They operated out of a huge, remote fortress and were in the process of implementing various schemes, including a network of teleportation gateways that spanned the Flanaess. Their supposed goal was the gradual, covert invasion and domination of the continent, but Xusia had a secret plan to invade Oerth using demons and the gateways. All of these endeavors were halted when the Fortress of the Nine was invaded by multiple groups of powerful foes beginning in episode 761.
members:


The Vampire Hunters

status: disbanded
brief: This group of unusual individuals had united to track and slay vampires in certain remote areas of the Flanaess. Their mission led them to the remote mountain town of Helgate, where several perished in one way or another. Those who remained eventually formed an alliance with Belphanior and others, and accompanied him on future adventures.
members:


The Crimson Blades

status: active
brief: This group's membership consists of evil adventurers who are powerful to the point of being iconic. Little is known of their origins, but their goal is clear: total conquering dominance of all who stand in their way. They learned of Belphanior's quest for the mythical isle of Panagaea and followed the elf's group as it located and journeyed to that long-lost place. Though a couple of their number perished in battle, the Crimson Blades were a match for Belphanior and his allies; the battle ended in a draw after the four sleeping guardians awoke and began attacking both parties. The surviving Blades retreated by means unknown as the cavern collapsed, and they are presumably still active somewhere in the world.
members:


The Misadventurers

status: active
brief: This group was discovered by Deryck and hired to do certain jobs which the half-elf, being noble and good, could not do himself. The group also took on other jobs which which even Deryck wouldn't condone. The most recent of these involved the battle at the Fortress of the Nine; the misadventurers had intended to sign up with the army forming there, but thanks to quick thinking by Peyton, they were able to come out on the side of the victors.
members:


The Enemies of the Nine

status: disbanded (it was a one-time team-up)
brief: Though this group had no official title, they will go down in the history books as those who assembled to challenge (and ultimately defeat) the Nine in their own fortress. The (non-Adventurers) members of this group are listed below. Those individuals with other group affiliations are noted with a * symbol; those who are henchmen or associates are marked with a ** symbol.
non-Adventurers members:


the "other" adventurers

status: disbanded but in touch
brief: This group was very similar to the Adventurers, with members of a wide variety of occupations, races, and temperaments - but they did their adventuring about ten years earlier. Over the years and quests, various members of the two groups have worked together and become friends.
members:


the Cabal

status: active
brief: This is a recently-formed, ultra-secretive cabal of powerful wizards. Their existence has been revealed in small increments, specifically in episodes 802 and 881. They seem to be on the side of Good, but their exact intentions and capabilities remain largely unknown.
