Horizon Syndicate The Horizon Syndicate was a drow mercantile organization , formed after the Spellplague . History . In the century following the Spellplague , a growing faction of drow divorced themselves from the old ways of their people to follow a new path . They believed the only way to weather the troubles affecting the lands would be to approach their dealings with other intelligent races in a way that did not always result in violence . Rather than taking what they wanted , when resources were already scarce , perhaps they could achieve better results by engaging their enemies in trade , exchanging valuable metals , gemstones , and other goods found exclusively in the Underdark for commodities generally absent from the depths of the earth . In order to facilitate this , they formed a new commercial organization , the Horizon Syndicate . Despite mistrust from others , the organization has spread , enabling trade between surface and Underdark communities . Members . Members of the Syndicate frequently joined as a way to break away from the politics of their homelands , in some cases using it as a stepping - stone toward gathering sufficient allies to safely make lives for themselves on the surface .

Due to the innate intrigues of the drow , however , not all members were as committed to the goals of the organization as they might seem . Locations . The Horizon Syndicate operated between the Underdark and the surface . Its operations were particularly strong in the Dragon Reach and in Westgate . Sources .
