Balam Alliance

The Balam Alliance was an alliance comprised of various dark guilds and appeared as the primary antagonists for much of the anime/manga series Fairy Tail. It was made up of three dark guilds, Grimoire Heart, Tartarus, and the Oración Seis which were the most powerful Dark Guilds in all of Fiore. Their combined strength had allowed them to control virtually every other minor dark guild with the exception of Raven Tail and all three of the main guilds went to war with Fairy Tail. The war between the alliance and Fairy Tail however, ended with Fairy Tail ultimately winning and the alliance had effectivly dissolved by the year X792.

Organization
The Balam Alliance was an alliance of three of the most powerful dark guilds and was formed sometime before the year X784. The alliance however, was nothing more but a non-aggression pact as the three guilds had never at once interacted with each other and simply stuck to their subordinate guilds. The alliance itself had all the three main guilds act on their own and they each started their own individual war with Fairy Tail and none of them every came to help the other.
