Heroes of Faerûn added new lore and rules surround the 8 major factions in Faerûn: Cult of the Dragon, Emerald Enclave, the Harpers, Lord's Alliance, Order of the Gauntlet, Purple Dragon Knights, Red Wizards, and the Zhentarim. It adds renown and is explicit that all 8 of these are joinable factions.
However, there are only 7 Faction Backgrounds. Red Wizards are missing. There's a Background, Origin Feat, and improved Feat for every other Faction present in the book.
So I guess the point of this thread is what gives?
My guess would be is because there's already a couple sorta bad guy backgrounds that came with the book and they couldn't think off a way to make it unique when surrounded by those
I feel like it's odd to leave only one of the Factions out. Perhaps they plan to do something else that focuses more specifically on Red Wizards in the future.
