Alliances
When the alliance system came out in spring 2020 people instantly started forming them. The faction you are in an alliance with are the only people that can help you when you get sieged for a territory. At this time Coaltions were still existing and alliances couldn't be named. An alliance simply took the name of the faction of the alliance leader. So when the Orocarni leader made an alliance is was called Orocarni Alliance. Coalitions was an alliance between two alliances resulting in 6 factions working together.
The Alliance system got implemented to balance out the server more and give smaller factions a better chance. The Coalitions appeared to be a mistake and were removed. With the Coalitions gone, Rob also allowed alliances to be named. This something he didn't want to at first. The Alliances that are named are listed down below with members and ex-members included.
With the re-opening of the server (Dec 2021) Alliances will no longer be updated!

(Historic) Unofficial Alliances
Before the alliance system was released in spring 2020. People could fight on whichever side they wanted and they created unofficial alliance that were often not only between the faction but also between people. In the list below are some of those alliances with a bit of lore. In earlier entries of the server history these factions are often mentioned.
The Alliance
The Alliance is a military agreement between Gondor (Gohnserf) and High Elves (RobRem58). These two factions fought a lot of battles together in the past and when the New Regime was founded they decide to bundle forces again to counter this new organization. They were later joined by the Hobbits, Rogue Dunedain and Ironhand. After Jelle broke the agreement between Rohan and the Regime Rohan decided to switch sides and also join the alliance.
The Alliance consisting of some of the older players and older factions (meaning that the faction leader and members didn’t really change and remained active). Their belief is more to let people in their faction to do whatever they want and help them start up and when they are in trouble. Another believe The Alliance has is that all the factions should follow Tolkien’s lore meaning that “good” factions fight “evil” factions.
The Alliance died out for more info on this check my comment on the Great War at least that is what they wanted others to believe in secret they continued with ther schemes and officially reemerged after the summer of 2019. The believes they used to have slowly disappeared.

Dark Council
The Dark Council is an alliance between Dol Guldur and Angmar (now Gundabad). These factions have been allies for a long time but came to be known as the Dark Council when the Orocarni decided that they want their teritories back (22-4-2020 Orocarni's Revenge). The Dark Council also claims to consist of some other factions but they haven't claimed this in timeline and are mostly inactive.

The Legion of Justice
An alliance between Mordor, Dúnedain and Rohan. They started to find justice for the way the opposition dealt with the anime lift vote. They were active in the Anime Wars but slowly started to dissolve because of inactivity. This "alliance" is also known as the weebs but that would be a weird name to use.

The Resistance
Angry about the fall of Retteram, ATV made a new organization. Trying to oppose the alliance. He was joined by a lot of people but they never took any action. They swore to get gohn of the throne of Gondor what happened due to server update. Eventually, the alliance disbanded. This made the Resistance pretty much useless and they also decided to disband. More information is in my comment on the Great War.

Western Coalition
During the great conquest of the Orocarni. The factions Rohan, Dúnedain and Arnorien agreed on a defensive alliance in case they were attacked by the Orocarni Empire. Arnorien betrayed te Western Coalition and joined the Orocarni. The Western Coalition was now forced to let other factions join so they could defend themselves against the Orocarni threat.

Southern Rebellion
Chaos was on the rise, as the collapse of the Western Coalition brought only more confusion, loss, and death. In the far off lands of Umbar, two of the members of the coalition retreated to their fort, to where the forces of Gondor would siege them not long after.
Dethman and Yiannis, fearing that their rule had come to an end, were both attempting different proposals to the Gondorian who besieged them. His name was Nadari. Yiannis had struck a deal with him, yet gohnserf did not see things as Nadari did, and so the siege would carry on. In this most troublesome of time, something had occurred, coming from the South once more. KingBob, ruler of the Half-Troll Empire, had stolen a fortune's worth from the Merchant's Guild in the North, and returned to his home a wanted man.
In this chaos, Yiannis capitalized, as he had connections mostly in the south due to his Mafia, which KingBob was apart of, as an associate. Through this he and Dethman began to unite the south in a rebellion against the Gondorians and Orocarni, giving the reigns to this war to KingBob, as Yiannis doubted it would last long. Little did he know that this would begin a 2 month conflict that would see them bog down their enemies and push them back from their walls. Yet, as all unifications that bring different people together,that truly don't like eachother, it tore itself apart and a civil war destroyed it for ever more. It was merely a reminder, a reminder that The South was still hardy, strong and fierce and strong, and not an old legacy of men and kingdoms that sit forgotten inside a book upon someone's shelf.

The Last Alliance
The last Alliance was introduced in early January 2020. This Alliance was supposed to take on the Orocarni Empire. In the Orocarni's Conquest pt3. is exactly described what hapenned to the last Alliance. In short the last Alliance was an alliance between the Norsca, the bandits of Bree, Rhudel, Ostros and Rohan to fight against the Orocarni.
''After the fall of The Southern revolution, many seeked refuge, solidarity,peace. Amongst them? Even the emperor. He followed the King in the North, the Lone Wolf, he trusts him with his life, as all Norscans do. Today we allied with the factions of Rhun and Rohan. We have taken krysoun under our protection, and dare any red menace to dig their heels and feet into the freeezing snows of Norsca and take them by force. We have united our allies, the Bandits of Bree, The Riders of Rohan, the Easterlings of Rhun, the Merchants of Ostros, and many more. An alliance has arisen. The Last Alliance. It is battle ready, hardened, full of seasoned warriors, full eager men to enact revenge. Revenge shall be served, as it usually is, a dish, served cold, with blood and steel. If the Red Menace dares, let them come. We await with open arms and sharpened blades.''
''Let the foes come! For the North! For The West! For the South and the East! For Middle Earth!''

Orocarni Alliance
This alliance should not be confused with The Alliance or The Last Alliance for that matter. Even though there are a lot of players from The Alliance in the Orocarni Alliance they aren't the same thing. The Orocarni Alliance got its name from a combination from the Alliance, the Orocarni and the simple fact that they are an alliance between multiple factions and some rogue/non alligned players. The Orocarni Alliance is also often just called Orocarni or Orocarni empire. Why the Orocarni and not one of the other allies? This is because of the importance of the faction in most of the wars and it has the same reason as why the chapters are named after them. Orocarni was for a time the strongest faction in the alliance when it came to active (veteran) players and teritories even though with teritories they often had to compete with their ally Anorian (what is a mostly one player faction). Not only is the Orocarni the more dominant faction it is also the faction that takes the most action.
The Orocarni Alliance is involved in multiple wars and started with the Orocarni conquest. The core factions of this alliance are the Erebor Dwarves, the Orocarni Dwarves, the Iron Hills dwarves and Anorien. They originally started off with the blue dwarves but to inactivity, change of leadership and some other factors the Blue Dwarves can't be counted as a core faction. After the Conquest ended the Orocarni fell apart. 2 of the Orocarni Lords went to the Dúnedain whole another went to Woodland Realm. These generals didn't leave the alliance and their factions basically joined up. Later on some other factions joined. For more info just check all the lore chapters with Orocarni in the title.
The Orocarni Alliance became irrelevant with the Alliance Update and ceased to excist as a special alliance and became an alliance within the system. The Orocarni Alliance kept most of their members but had to kick a few out due to the limitations in the system.
