Alliance of the Higher Paths
The Alliance of the Higher Paths is a movement of Palliscian exiles opposed to the increasing domination of Passio-Corum by the extremist and sanguinary Stripping Path which originated in the Maritime Markets of the Strait of Haifa and came to world wide prominence after the usurpation of power in Passio-Corum by Kan Zen, a religious fanatic who ingratiated herself into the company of Crown Amor before brutally beating the Pallisican ruler to death, ushering in the Stripping Path's aggressive subversion of Passio-Corum, and subsequent attempts to export the fanaticism across Keltia in the wake of the War of Lost Brothers.
The alliance is generously funded by the Sxiro-Natopian alliance and retains a network of patient supporters through out the territories occupied by the forces of the Stripping Path. Although abhorring violence, supporters of the alliance are willing to pass on information, recruit like-minded supporters, conduct individual acts of non-violent sabotage, and occasionally to publicly bear witness against the atrocities carried out in their name by the followers of the Stripping Path.
