Faction Support Tracker

DM tracker — contains spoilers. This page tracks the war-coalition's committed resources and each faction's disposition toward Deez Nuts in the Rise of Tiamat effort. Players are working to move these numbers largely blind. See also the Council of Waterdeep and the Renown Tracker (personal renown is tracked separately).

Faction Support Tracker

Committed resources and standing of the anti-Tiamat coalition, plus key powers not on the official Council of Waterdeep scorecard. (Reconciled against Sessions 33–50, June 2026.)

Standing scale

• ★★★ Committed — a reliable ally actively pledging resources
• ★★ Supportive — favorable; will help on request
• ★ Conditional — helps when it serves them, or warming up
• ◐ Skeptical — unconvinced; needs persuading
• ⚠ In progress — alliance actively being built
• ✗ Hostile — opposed

Council of Waterdeep factions (official scorecard)

Faction	Standing & committed resources	Goals & priorities	Raises support (+)	Lowers support (−)	Key party actions to date
Harpers Rep: Remalia Haventree, Leosin Erlanthar; member: Gootcha	★★★ Committed. Intelligence & safehouses: covert routes, informant networks, encrypted dossiers, false identities.	Maintain the balance of power; dismantle the Cult from within through secrets and precision rather than open chaos.	Covert work, intelligence handed over, recruiting informants, sparing collateral, protecting the balance.	Reckless public destruction, tyranny, burning or exposing Harper assets.	Enlisted a pickpocket spy; rescued the Bronze Blades; cleared hobgoblins on the Candlekeep road; trained Lizardfolk defenders; took/retook Castle Naerytar; brokered Thurmin–Halia; infiltrated the Masquerade of Whispers; standing deputized reporting.
Order of the Gauntlet Rep: Ontharr Frume (champion); member: Xanphina	★★★ Committed. Sanctioned strikes: troops, healers & divine support, relic loans, legal authority for public action.	Protect the innocent and destroy evil — openly, cleanly, and decisively.	Openly slaying evil dragons, undead, and fiends; protecting innocents; honorable conduct.	Dishonorable or deceptive methods; collateral harm; consorting with fiends (the party's hidden infernal Compact is a latent liability).	Killed Lord Valtheran, Rezmir, Rath Modar, Vaartox, Iskralathrax; eased Veylan's spirit; trained defenders; retook Castle Naerytar; took Skyreach Castle; began the giant alliance.
Emerald Enclave Rep: Declan Winterhound (Scales); members: Keyleth (Talons-leaning), Karma (Scales)	★★ Supportive (with internal split). Wilderness guides, druidic wards, negotiated creature withdrawals, dragon-lair intelligence.	Preserve the balance of nature. Talons of Veylan want evil dragons purged; Scales of Eldath prefer mediation and restoration.	Slaying corrupt dragons (Talons); mediation, peace, and restoration (Scales); protecting wild places.	Sparing or empowering evil dragons splits the two wings; wanton ecological harm.	Killed Iskralathrax (Keyleth +, Karma −) and Vaartox; eased Veylan's spirit; peace with the merrow; (−) calmed Venomfang and parleyed with the black dragon at sea — Scales approved, Talons did not.
Zhentarim Leader: Rian Nightshade; member: Shade	★★ Supportive (transactional). Logistics & favors: transport and smuggling routes, bribes, political influence, deniable teams, "lost" paperwork.	Expand influence and profitable stability; prefer leverage and "business" over conquest.	Actions that grow Zhent reach or profit, preserve monetizable stability, return Zhent property, broker deals.	Cutting them out of profit, destabilizing their operations, siding openly against them.	Returned Zhentarim items to Waterdeep; brokered Thurmin–Halia; dealt for the bagpipes; most coalition wins also nudged Zhent standing.
Lords' Alliance Leader: Lord Dagult Neverember	★★ Supportive. City authority and resources across member cities, troops, logistics, legal standing. Deputized the party in S43.	Coordinated defense of the Sword Coast cities; preserve member-city power.	Protecting member cities, delivering assigned missions (Maccath, Varram), proving the threat is real.	Endangering cities, freelancing against Council authority, failing assignments.	Accepted deputization; killed Lord Valtheran; delivered Cult intelligence; found and freed Maccath.
Devout of Athena Member: Alexios (soul lost, S50)	★★ Supportive (now orphaned). Strategic counsel: battlefield planning, oaths of protection, enemy-strategy analysis.	Strategic justice; protection of the weak; cunning over spectacle. Aligns with Gauntlet aims.	Tactical, protective, justice-minded deeds.	Rash spectacle; abandoning the weak.	Alexios's deeds carried this voice; with his soul lost in the Hells (S50), the Athena track is currently without a party anchor. (See reconciliation note — Alexios's earlier Oathbreaker turn in S40 also needs squaring.)

Council swing votes (city-states & realms)

Member	Standing	Position & priorities	What moves them	Party actions to date
Waterdeep Lady Dalla Silmerhelm	★★ Supportive	Aligned with the coalition; knowledgeable about Maccath the Crimson.	Protecting Waterdeep; delivering intelligence.	Provided the Maccath lead; party delivered.
Neverwinter Lord Dagult Neverember	★★ Supportive	Presided over the Council and deputized the party.	Delivering on assignments; defending the North.	Earned the deputization.
Baldur's Gate / Flaming Fist Marshal Ulder Ravenguard	★ Conditional	Tactical pragmatist; defends the Bronze Blades (his agents) and backs the giant alliance.	Aiding the Bronze Blades; battlefield results.	(−) early friction over the Bronze Blades; (+) later rescued them; standing order to keep aiding them.
Mithral Hall dwarves Ambassador Conrad Brawn	◐ Skeptical	Distrusts the giant alliance (ancient dwarf–giant enmity).	Proving giants are reliable; dwarf-friendly deeds.	(−) the deepening giant alliance is a sore point.
Misty Forest elves King Melendrak	◐ Skeptical	Doubts the Cult can truly summon Tiamat.	Hard proof of the threat; elf-aligned deeds.	Yet to be decisively convinced.
Silverymoon Taern Thunderspells Hornblade	★ Conditional	Wants all intelligence on summoning and resurrection magic (Red Wizards concern).	Relaying arcane intel to him / Silverymoon's mages.	Reported the Draakhorn, the resurrections of Rath Modar & Rezmir, and Red Wizard involvement.

Powers off the official scorecard

Power	Standing & committed resources	Goals & priorities	Raises support (+)	Lowers support (−)	Party actions to date
The Giants Brokered by Thurmin, Bechamel, and Bernie aboard Skyreach Castle	⚠ In progress. Potential: giant warriors as anti-dragon muscle; aerial mobility via the flying castle.	Reclaim giant standing; giants opposed the dragons in past Tiamat summonings.	Honoring giant custom, keeping promises made through Thurmin/Bechamel/Bernie, proving worth against dragons.	Dwarf-aligned slights; broken promises.	Took Skyreach Castle from the Cult; sent the flying castle to enlist the giants; Thurmin (with Bechamel and Bernie) travels among them building the alliance.
Arcane Brotherhood (Luskan) Contacts: Zelene, Maccath the Crimson	★ Conditional (warming). Arcane expertise on the Draakhorn/dragons; magic gear at cost with buy-back; spellbooks & scrolls; a publishing channel.	Arcane knowledge and power; recover Maccath; study the Draakhorn and white dragons.	Returning Maccath safely; delivering Marfulb's research; sharing dragon intelligence.	Losing or endangering Maccath; withholding research.	Found and freed Maccath from Oyaviggaton; escorting her home; carrying Marfulb's life's work to publish; bought gear at cost (buy-back pending).
Metallic Dragons Contact: Verithrax (bronze)	⚠ Nascent. Potential prize: dragon allies for the final battle.	Oppose Tiamat and chromatic tyranny.	Anti-chromatic credentials; aiding or freeing metallics; proving the cause.	Harming metallics; appearing as indiscriminate dragon-slayers.	Befriended Verithrax; slew chromatics (Vaartox, Iskralathrax, Voaraghamanthar, Arauthator); the over-broad Draakhorn is now drawing metallics too — both a complication and an opening.

Reconciliation notes

• Haventree name: linked here as Remalia Haventree to match the Quests tracker; the Council of Waterdeep page uses "Ramalia Haventree." Pick one canonical spelling.
• Athena / Alexios: the Athena voice lost its party anchor when Alexios's soul was lost (S50), and his S40 Oathbreaker turn toward Tiamat was never squared with his "Devout of Athena" standing. Needs a DM ruling.
• Committed-resource detail: the official Rise of Tiamat epilogue scorecard assigns concrete pledges (troops, dragons, gold) per faction based on standing — fill in exact pledges here as they're locked in at future councils.
