The Granite Alliance of Greater Merrimack is an alliance of smaller settlements with the Merrimack Valley. Their Live Free or Die motto stretches back to before the cracking of the moon, and the alliance has recently declared war with The Clan of the Claw for the Clan’s claiming of the ruins of Concord as clan territory. What exactly this entails for the future is unknown, but since the election of the famed Eduardo Alcayaga as Warmaster General, the prospects for the enslaved muties on the other side of the border most assuredly have improved.

Currently the communities of The Granite Alliance are busily fortifying their settlements that abut the Merrimac River, as there is great fear that the lobster men will travel up the river and attack from the water. Although this has happened often along the coast in Clan of the Claw territory, some muties speculate that the lobstermen cannot travel such great distances in freshwater.

Those traveling in The Granite Alliance can expect to pay a high price to enter a settlement. The muties here ask a lot from a visitor before allowing them the safety of their communities. From several of our ZZZ writers’ experience, tinned pineapple or other tropical fruit is particularly well-received as payment.
