Overview

The Glory Wizard Alliance is described as the most powerful organization in the Glory Empire and the leading authority over the Empire’s wizarding world 134 283.

Major Arcs

Dole’s Entry into the Alliance

Dole first hears of the Alliance while leaving the Black Market cave, where the Guardian warns him not to become a black wizard 106. Karl later explains that the Glory Wizard Alliance is the Glory Empire’s strongest organization and that the Empire is hostile to black wizards 134. After entering the Glory Empire and completing the half-year evaluation period, Dole formally joins through Waz City and receives his Alliance badge 143 166.

Waz City and Northwest Politics

The Alliance becomes central to Waz City’s power structure as leaders, families, academies, and guilds compete over branches and resources 181 258 353. In Wasen Fort, Dole encounters a larger and more complex Alliance system, including a tower forest, many high-level experts, and factional pressure 300 356.

Allen’s Reform Era

After taking office in the Northwest, Allen reallocates resources away from nobles and toward academies, promotes responsible commoner wizards, subsidizes wizard professions, and lowers resource thresholds 592. His reforms establish a central tone of suppressing noble privilege and allowing commoner wizards to rise 596.

Albis City Branch

Dole negotiates with Allen to reserve a place for the Alliance in his territory while securing the branch presidency for himself 653. When Albis City is built, the Alliance’s eight towers are placed in designated positions, and Dole’s branch becomes unusually strong in resources, meditation methods, potions, and alchemy 703 1082 1146.

Imperial Capital and High-Level Research

At headquarters, Dole deals with Vasili and other senior wizards over spatial knowledge, Babel Tower, secret realms, and otherworld access 779 782 830 881. The Alliance’s depth causes Dole to reassess it as unfathomable after seeing its access to other worlds and high-level resources 806.

War, Evil Gods, and Interworld Expansion

The Alliance deploys major forces against Nightmare influence, evil cults, evil god invasions, and rival empires 842 981 1021 1152. After acquiring coordinates to several medium worlds and opening teleportation services, it becomes a coveted global power, attracting Level Eight and Level Nine experts despite high fees 1181.
