[QUOTE="Gorg, post: 8243635, member: 7029501"] For question 2, The option to join the various factions is written right into Lost Mine of Phandelver. They usually get noticed and approached by an NPC and given "the recruiting speech", if a character(s) seem to fit in well with the overall goals/ideology of the faction. These groups have a ton of lore written about them in past edition products- even some with suppliments written just about them. (Harpers and Cult of the Dragon come to mind, both have 2E splatbooks all about them) The Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting from 3E is another great place to look. It covers them all, as they are a big part of the "politics of the Realms". If you or someone you know doesn't have that book, I see em on Ebay all the time- along with a LOT of other FR materials. (slightly less, now- as I recently have been finishing up my 3E FR collection, lol) I really wish WoTC would just go ahead and publish a full campaign setting for the 5E Realms, instead of parcelling out little bits of info scattered throughout all the modules set there... I'm currently reading through the same adventure. I've been collecting 5E books lately as well- but they are all sitting in a pile of parcels at home, while I'm out on the road... Thus, I can't say what other official books might say. [/QUOTE]
