The Chari'they Alliance was the work of Matron Mother Chari'they of Eclavfryn. An arch-mage drow priestess of Lolth, later a demi-lich, she rallied the trading houses of five far-flung city-states. The easternmost was the island city of Belephant-Elebros, the youngest city-state of Eclavfryn on the Ebonmurk, Filion'lyr and her feared Sisters of Baalzebul, the Matron Mother's home city of Charda'thrae, and in the far south of the ring, the great port city of Vhurindrar. All Drow majority holds, positioned on or near the Great Tradeway, their military union gave them a commanding position.
With each city-state having their own goals, the conflicts that came about from the Chari'they Alliance came to be known as the Tradeway Wars (1131 - 1231). The eastern theme of these conflicts revolved around the monopolistic practices of the Irdrax Republic.
In 1231, after internal conflict and a series of spectacular assassinations, including the destruction of the demi-lich Chari'they by the Sanguine Whispers, the alliance is broken, ending the Tradeway Wars.
