Half tempted to remove the thing entirely, as I imagin that 90% of these no longer exist, and we have the DM Sessions page thingy now, but will wait to see the response first.
A note to DMs and Players already affiliated with groups: Please help to keep this list up to date.

Cormanthor Village Project
Focus: Good characters working for the betterment of the Cormanthor Forest.
Server: Shadowdale
DM Contact: Unknown
Player Contact: Acadius Lost (PC Dara Tylnermana) Not AL
Times: Various
Notes: The main reason for Cormanthor Village (or Emerald Springs, as it is now known) is to create a safe place in Western Cormanthor, to work for stability in the region, and to work with those that wish to LIVE WITH NATURE and to inform those that don't know how. Many fruitful bonds have been created and trust gained for this project, amongst the fey, the villagers of Shadowdale, and the farmers of Mistledale. Emerald Springs does not just cater to rangers and druids. All who wish to work to better nature and the livelihood of those who reside in its realms are welcome. Elves, humans, gnomes, dwarves, and hin. Tasks involve organizing resources and defenses, scouting outlying forests, and engaging in diplomatic talks with the dales.

Crimson Mist
Focus: L/NE minded players with a firm grasp of evil intent.
Server: Daggerdale
DM Contact: Any DD DM
Player Contact: Lyon Kross (GlassRain)
Times: Random weekly TBA
Notes: Bolted doors and window slats shut. Covers clenched and teeth chatter. Wind is silent and Gaurds on edge. Beyond the village wall something stirs something lurks. An old foe dawn to a new age. When fear pulses in the throats of men and women of the dale, where will your alliance lay? We are the divided.
For more information PM GlassRain.

Dwarves of Glen
Focus: Dwarves of good intent who want to further the role of Dwarves in the dalelands
Servers: Shadowdale and Mistledale
DM Contact: Brimsar or Virvaldin
Player Contact: Maxcell
Times: Mondays, 1900-
Notes: Situated south of the Moonsea Ride at Mistledale's eastern end where the Dale is narrow enough that one can clearly see the boundary forest to both north and south, Glen is a hamlet of stone-and-thatch cottages that is much grander that it appears ... It fills a small gorge or depression in the ground, so that what look like single-story cottages from afar prove to descend three floors or more to the cobbled, steeply sunken streets. An elaborate system of drainage gutters collect rainwater safely into cisterns to prevent flooding, but ice must make the streets deadly for much of the winter! Glen is home to many dwarves who are masters of farming on platforms held up on poles, in tubs, and in cellars. They also specialize in growing crops under glass frames in the depths of winter. Glen is more than just a market town for the area. It has the expected smiths and masons, and one can see gears and wheels and metal machinery all around. The Dwarves of Glen defend the village above and below, using proven tactics and stoic loyalty to withstand even the greatest of odds. They are the harbingers of Dwarven justice and preservers of relics of Dwarven lore.

Faithful of the Lady of Loss

Notes: The worshippers of Shar are spread all over Faerun in cells that share a varying degree of associations with one another. Most residents of Faerun know little about this mysterious cult. As a PC, plots are focused upon intrigue, subversion, and secrecy. The risks of exposure are high, but so are the rewards of doing the bidding of the Nightmaiden.
Info. current as of 3/17/2007: Recovering from the brink of anilhiation, small cells of Sharran PCs have begun to pop up around Faerun once again. Now may be the time for the Faithful to again emerge from the Shadows.

Player Contact: go through Inaubryn or through GFL Mikayla
Times: Everyday we are doing something somewhere, easy to find a niche time
Notes: Perhaps the longest running player faction in ALFA dating back to pre-live. Faction built, discovered, and remodeled temples and shrines perhaps make this faction also the leading owner of faction-owned real estate in ALFA. We have our own website that we use to coordinate goals, gametimes, events, etc. The Pentagon is made up of five groups of individuals. Each of the five groups represent the five aspects of The Chromatic Dragon; red, blue, green, black, and white and will be especially attuned and empathetic to the needs of that particular subspecies. Each aspect represents a different particular area of duty also: Red – expansion of Church infrastructure and treasury; Blue – Church military and security; Green – covert expansion of Church membership; Black – establishing a black market/slave trade; White – espionage/assassination.
