At a Glance

  • Purpose: money, revenge and survival
  • Home: the Alterac Mountains and Hillsbrad Foothills
  • Members: the nobles of Alterac and the criminals who followed them
  • Enemies: Southshore, Tarren Mill and Stromgarde

History

The Kingdom of Alterac fell after Lord Perenolde betrayed the Alliance. His nobles lost their land, and some of them became bandits. The Syndicate is what is left. [WCII]

They raid the roads, hire assassins, and keep spies in half the towns of Lordaeron. [Game · Quest: Syndicate Assassins] [Game · Quest: WANTED: Syndicate Personnel]

Where to Find Them

The Alterac Mountains are their fortress, and agents move through Southshore, Hillsbrad and Arathi. [Game · Quest: Noble Deaths]

Playing a Member

  • A Syndicate character is a noble with no title. Their pride is still there.
  • Do not make every Syndicate member evil. Some are just hungry.
  • Southshore is a real town. Your spy is going to be caught.

More to come soon.
