  DISCLAIMER - Specus Draconis Publisher is not responsible for the fanaticism of the devotees in Faerûn, not even for those who do not believe in the gods, 
  even less for those who dishonor such deities, because Kelemvor’s judgment will send those souls to the walls of the faithless, were the fiends will torture 
  them for all eternity.

  The Manifesto of           
  Natural Harmony
  “The Spellplague had devastated the realms and when The 
  Sundering ended, many things changed too, except the god’s in-
  trigues. As a Chauntea’s devotee that calls Shadowdale home, 
  I had been appointed to the most Sacred Mission on Faerûn — 
  lead the stronghold of the Manifesto of Natural Harmony in the 
  Heartlands.
     The mentioned events left so many scars on the Dalelands, 
  such as plants and animals mutation, animal specimens unheard 
  of in large numbers, river’s increased width and so on, that we 
  must understand all that happened before taking any actions. Oh, 
  I almost forgot the war’s depredations lead by the fallen Empire 
  of Netheril, and its vassal state Sembia, that we must work to 
  restore.
     One thing is certain; all unnatural effects must be warded off 
  to maintain the environment’s natural harmony. That’s where the 
  newly formed alliance’s focus is.”
     Einul Goodberry
  High Harvestmistress of the House of Plenty
   
  Right after The Sundering, Lord Ao had rewritten the Gods’ du-
  ties on the Tablets of Fate, therefore the more organized deities 
  forged alliances to strengthen their celestial positions, as men-
  tioned on page 6 of Sacred Alliances.
     Silvanus, Chauntea, Eldath and Mielikki had been working to-
  gether for ages, but only recently, they had decided to form an 
  organized alliance. It had begun right after the fall of the Empire 
  of Netheril, when a woman dressed in golden robes was seen 
  collecting the morning dew in the House of Plenty fields. The ag-
  itated clergy advised Einul, which immediately went to the fields 
  to talk to the woman and, for her surprise, the woman dressed in 
  golden robes revealed herself as Chauntea’s avatar. The Golden 
  Goddess then gave three flasks full of dew to Einul and said — My 
  precious High Harvestmistress, take these blessed dews to help 
  you heal the land’s illness, and please, come with me, I have pre-
  cious information to share. — Then, in the blink of an eye both of 
  them disappeared.
     Two days later, the High Harvestmistress was back and the High 
  Priests from the other allied deities representing the three Heart-
  lands regions were already awaiting her. Einul had welcomed 
  them and shared the instructions regarding the Manifesto of 
  Natural Harmony’s creation. With a peaceful final speech, and 
  committed to their sacred mission, the High Priests said farewell 
  to each other and departed to their homes. Now they must or-
  ganize their clergy and call the agents of the Emerald Enclave 
  to help them expand the alliance’s influence through the realms.
  Temples as Base of Operations
  Every temple or shrine that worships Silvanus, Chauntea, Eldath 
  or Mielikki will support the alliance and the Emerald Enclave’s 
  members. The same applies for members of other affiliated or-
  ders and monasteries.
     The House of Plenty covers a large area in the Village of Sha-
  dowdale, and also is Chauntea’s major center of worship, that 
  qualifies the temple as the Dalelands’ main base and as the 
  Heartlands’ stronghold for the alliance. For more information 
  about the temple’ structure and clergy, stay tuned for our future 
  solo adventure Newborn Legends part 2.
     A temple dedicated to Silvanus in Archenbridge, called The 
  Verdant Shelter is the main base for the alliance, influencing the 
  lands of Sembia. It is said that the Oakfather wants to spread the 
  forest over Sembia, as it was once in the past.
     Mielikki’s holdings, The Unicorns Refugee in King’s Forest, in 
  Cormyr, helps keeping the wild life as it should be. The temple 
  deep in the forest is the alliance’s main base of operation in the 
  Forest Kingdom.
     One of the few temples dedicated to Eldath in Faerûn is located 
  in Dagger Falls. Sinirlul Peacewoods is The Singing Tesh’s High 
  Keeper of Stability. She is Einul’s right-hand for all Dalelands af-
  fairs, especially on rebuilding Daggerdale. For more information 
  about Eldath temple’s structure and clergy, stay tuned for our fu-
  ture solo adventure Newborn Legends part 1 and also Adventur-
  ing in Daggerdale part 1.
     There are many affiliated orders among the Manifesto to men-
  tion, but the most notorious are the Emerald Enclave, a druid 
  circle known as Keepers of Peace, affiliated to Mother of the 
  Waters’ Church and a band of rangers known as Green Leaves, 
  affiliated to Old Oak’s Church in the Dalelands-Sembia borders.
  Goals and Motivations
  The alliance focuses its efforts in three different areas: 
  • Peace. When achieved, everything within and around a 
  community will blossom in harmony;
  • Preservation. Keeping the environment safe from any 
  kind of depredation and unnatural effects allows all beings 
  to keep on its natural cycles as expected by the gods;
  • Vigilance. Being always aware to every step that sur-
  rounds your vigil will weaken any new treat by its roots.
  According to the mentioned goals, it is clear that their motiva-
  tion is a harmonious and peaceful environment surrounding all 
  beings.
     Therefore, the Manifesto’ structure possess talented members 
  within the Alliance Piety Rank that helps expanding the church’s 
  area of influence in Faerûn. To keep up with the church’s expan-
  sion, the alliance is supported by its affiliated monasteries and 
  orders, especially by Emerald Enclave’s elite agents.
     Usually, there are conflicts among the alliance’s goals. It is not 
  uncommon that the Manifesto dispatches members to eliminate 
  recurring treats against the wilderness, they may even recur to 
  killing if it is the only option they have. The Nefarious Coalition 
  opposes them, using its many affiliated orders always to unbal-
  ance the natural harmony, especially the Zhentarim. 
     The alliance accepts clerics, monks, paladins, wizards, fighters, 
  and specially rangers, druids and barbarians.

  Manifesto of Natural Harmony Alliance Piety Rank

  • Rank three. Floret
  • Rank four. Stern
  • Rank five. Bark
  Divine Gossips
  Silvanus, through the Green Leaves, is trying to reforest northern Sembia covering everything up to the ruins of Ordulin to seal indu-
  bitably the shadowstuff created by the Mouth of Shar.
     While the Keepers of Peace had been working on a cease-fire with the werewolves from the White Crag in Dagger Hills, they discov-
  ered that a very important person, assumed dead, is leading them and want to rule all Daggerdale. Lady Sinirlul reported the Keepers’ 
  findings to Lord Barathal in Castle Daggerdale, and promised him to find a way to solve this issue.
     Considering the importance of other gods’ portfolios to the alliance, Chauntea had invited Lathander and Selûne to join them. Both 
  refused saying they would go by their own, but they offered to help whenever necessary. Rumor has it that the Grain Goddess also 
  tried an approach to Kelemvor, but the Lord of the Dead remains averse to the Manifesto protective actions regarding the Baelnorns. 
  He believes all undead must be destroyed, even if they are good aligned.
     Emerald Enclave’s agents devoted to Mielikki had been dispatched to Mulmaster surroundings in the Moonsea to vigil the devilish 
  Thayan occupation of the city. They fear the Red Wizards are raising an undead army to conquer all Dalelands and beyond. 
  What Comes Next?
  More supplements about the other alliances will come shortly, as well as a guide to help you to introduce Sacred Alliances on your 
  ongoing campaigns. The next supplement will unravel the malicious practices of The Nefarious Coalition. Stay tuned!
