Noctem Alliance

Overview
The Noctem Alliance was created by Rubrum Tenebrae on April 8th, 2021. The group was made to eradicate a bandit group unofficially known as the Big 5. The name of the alliance means alliance of the night. Though Rubrum created it, two other people led the group: FallenAasimar and JUKI. The group was later disbanded.

Cause for the Alliance
The alliance was created to put an end to the bandit group, the Big 5. The Big 5 had been attacking Ryzani-Carthya n Republic trade routes and stealing from merchants. They had also erected shops on those routes, selling the useless items the merchants were carrying. Word of this reached Rubrum and she quickly established the alliance. Helping her was FallenAasimar, the president of the republic. JUKI, another republic member also was a leader. Quickly they got helpers, mostly from the Ryzani-Carthyan Republic, but also from Paloro. The alliance reached eleven members in just a few days.

The First Confrontation
After some days of searching, a scout of the alliance located a base of the Big 5. The base was controlled by Callamiity, the leader of the bandit group. Two Noctem Alliance soldiers went to the base and found a Big 5 member there. A fight broke out and the two soldiers killed the lone member. It was not Callamiity, but at least now the alliance had established itself as a threat to the bandits. The alliance went on to celebrate its small victory for a few hours.

The Challenge
After the initial fight, Rubrum Tenebrae decided to send Callamiity a challenge. If Rubrum beats the chief bandit in one on one combat, the Big 5 would be disbanded. If Callamiity won, then the Noctem Alliance would disband and the bandits could loot the Ryzani-Carthyan Republic. Rubrum sent the message and waited. After a few days, no answer came. She decided Callamiity wouldn't accept and therefore disbanded the alliance, as it had no use.

The Disbanding of the Alliance
After Callamiity never reached out to accept the challenge, Rubrum and the two other leaders decided to disband the alliance. It seemed as if they had frightened the Big 5 off. The Noctem Alliance was officially disbanded and all the members went back to their normal activities. The Big 5 would never again threaten the republic. Although the Big 5 just fizzled out, its end could be the result of the Noctem Alliances appearance, as a sudden threat could've frightened them off.
