DUSK

DUSK was an early alliance in DF.
They were formed by an agreement between clans that already had staked their claim on holdings on the subcontinent Rubaiyat. They were borderline roleplayers and the alliance only accepted Alfar members.
In the early months of the game they had many member clans: Sturmgrenadier, Bad Boys 4 Life (both Feb-Apr), Shimmergloom, CLAW, The Vindicators (all Feb-Mar), Infamous (in March), Shulgan Knights Council, Hombres de Tierfon, Old Timers Guild, Adeptus, Lost Minions, Ilythiiri, Blackhand Order, Soldiers of Thunderstorm, and House Shivering. 
In spring 2009 DUSK controlled the whole SW of the map, after having disposed of small Ruby clans such as The Mercenaries.
In March they were still at war with The Mercenaries and took a city in Mirendil from them. At this point they formed alliances with both Coalition of the Chillin, Death Alliance and The Forest Republic(?). They had wars with Shadowbane Alliance and were one of the potential enemies of Hyperion.
They also created the Dawn alliance featuring the mirdain clan Oromea, and other clans associated with DUSK that did not follow the DUSK rule of accepting only Alfar members.
During April they increasingly got under pressure from heavy raids by TheMercs. Adeptus, Ilythiiri and BadBoys4Life all left the alliance but still retained numbers . But as DUSK was still being pressured by SB Alliance, the whole alliance quickly disintegrated (in May 2009?) except for the mainland holdings.
