History

Formed in 7-13-97, primarily by members of Aradix. One story is that The Confederacy is just a result of Aradix changing their name. Others say that they joined with Rogue's Haven to form the confederacy. The Confederacy has appeared to be defunct since 2005. The confederacy has no connection with the Principality of Westmarch under Dragonspine.
