History
The Emerald Brotherhood were originally an adventuring company based on the planet Toril in Realmspace. They first came together to protect the forest of Thornwood and its druids from an invading tribe of gnolls. They went on to achieve some fame as lycanthrope-hunters in the lands east and south of Amn and Tethyr.
They were later hired by a local king in the Vilhon Reach area to hunt down and kill three evil dragons that were thought to be lurking along the Deepwash. However, while they were exploring the Snowflake Mountains, they were captured by illithid slavers and taken into wildspace on their ship, the Mind Ripper.
Having been sold to the neogi, the Company eventually escaped their cruel captors, and would go on to destroy a major neogi slavery operation. They subsequently purchased their iconic vipership, Tyr's Strike, from an arcane merchant who had also been held captive by the neogi and had been freed by the Company.
The Emerald Brotherhood set their sights on destroying both the mind flayers and the neogi, and after some fourteen months, slavers throughout Realmspace had learned to fear them - especially the neogi. In response, the neogi placed a bounty of 50,000 gold pieces on their heads.
