Round Table Alliance

The Round Table Alliance is a coalition of eleven guilds in Elder Tale and the governing body of Akihabara.

Overview
The Round Table Alliance was organized by Log Horizon's Guild Master Shiroe who wanted to change Akihabara for the better. Eleven other guilds were invited to be a part of the Alliance but Silver Sword's William rejected the offer, decreasing the number by one.

The Alliance is designed to be the governing body of Akihabara. Its ultimate role is to improve the city's vitality and security for the better of its citizens. Though originally met with mixed reviews, the Alliance proved to be a success and slowly rebuilt the city and its citizens.

One of the contributing factors for its success is Shiroe's purchasing of the 'Guild Building' zone. With this, he can blacklist anyone who breaks the law, thereby disabling them from using their guild hall, bank or warehouse. This will make living in the city difficult and may force the rule breaker(s) to leave.

Purpose
The main purpose of the alliance is to improve the city's vitality and security. This was achieved through governance, regulation, criminalization, taxation, collaboration, information management, innovation, and economy. In the first meeting, the alliance reached the consensus that: Not long after the first alliance conference, League of Freedom Cities Eastal contacted the Round Table Alliance to attend an event at Ancient Palace of Eternal Ice. All alliance members agreed that there would be potential benefits to learn more about unknown elements in Elder Tale since currently there is no accessible quest unlike in the old Elder Tale. As a result, the purposes of the alliance were extended to address political issues of the People of the Land. Alliance members selected as representatives to contact League of Freedom Cities Eastal included Krusty, Michitaka, and Shiroe, accompanied by Takamiya Misa, Akatsuki, and Henrietta.
 * They are to disclose publicly that out-of-the-game innovations can be created by those with suitable subclasses and levels without using the in-game menu. This boosts innovations which subsequently increases consumption and business and decreases depression. The increased consumption also leads to rising in demand and jobs across production and battle guilds.
 * They are to collect resources through taxation and job requests which will be used to investigate the Fairy Rings that can be used for exploring zones and mapping routes. When exploration has been completed, they will disseminate information through newspaper and other media channels.
 * Each guild should comprise with each other for grinding spots.
 * They ban PKing in low-level zones around Akihabara, since it was agreed that it was pointless to fight players with levels under 50.
 * Each guild must respect human rights of players. Since death is not absoute for Adventurers, there must not be any confinement, kidnapping, and rape, as they now seen as more serious crimes. Joining and leaving guilds must be a voluntary decision.
 * They aim to build good relationships with the People of the Land and respect their human rights.

Members
The Round Table Alliance was originally designed to have twelve members but due to Silver Sword's William's refusal to join, the number decreased to eleven. One of the criteria for being chosen as a member of the Alliance is the number of members of the guild. With the combination of four major battle guilds and three major production guilds invited, over two-fifths of Akihabara's population has been represented. To compensate for the remaining three-fifths, three other guilds were chosen as representatives of the small guilds. With the last member acting as the Alliance organizer which is Log Horizon.
