History
Long ago in the time of Gorothanon, there existed a group of mercenaries under the command of one Valas Hune, a fearsome and respected Drow Rouge. The original Qos Videnn Shibalin or Dread Gate Mercenary Alliance consisted of several units, loosely joined by the common want of money and destruction. One of these units was the the Shadow Covenant, an assassins guild. Another was the The Sea Swallows, dry land pirates bent on running away. Over the years the Shadow Covenant vanished, leaving a gap for of paid protection hanging over the realm. During the 3rd War of the Gate (2005) The Shadow Clan fought it's way into the Dread Gate Mercenary Alliance in secret, thus filling that gap. Gorothanon became Stygia. And other then the power of the Orcs steadily and inexorably growing, all seemed well. But all was not as it seemed. For a political spit amongst the alliance saw the Drow joining the Uruk-Hai, the mighty Orc Tribe that inhabited the area. This was seen as unacceptable to the remaining units, who broke ties with the Qos Videnn Shibalin and all it stood for and eventually became DGMA 2000 Inc. For a few glorious months the DGMA was a recognized force on the field. Eventually however the group ended up falling apart, with most of its members dropping out of the sport entirely due to unrelated factors. In 2010 Thiadric Thumbs reformed the DGMA, working under the same concept of a loose knit coalition, but without the various sub units. The DGMA worked for any price, only wanting a little bit of the action. Following a glorious history the unit disbanded at Battle for the Ring V having achieved more then they could have hoped. There are rumors in Stygia of a possible reunion sometime in the future but those, like so many things surrounding the DGMA, are just rumors.
