Queen's Rout
The Queen's Rout was a united organization of various factions in Faerun that came together to combat the threat of the Cult of the Dragon once it was established they were legitimately attempting to return the dragon queen Tiamat to the world of Toril. Where there were tenuous relations between some members of the Queen's Rout, it was established that no harmful act could be taken against other members of the organization for the duration of the efforts to counter the Cult, and for several days after the conclusion of the final battle at the Well of Dragons.
The Spellforged served as the primary adventuring party that was utilized by the Queen's Rout to complete key missions in the quest to dismantle the cult's machinations.
Membership
Several individual factions were a part of the Queen's Rout, and each faction had a representative that was present at council meetings to discuss movements and actions that would be taken against the cult. Each faction had its own military might that it could commit to the final conflict.

In addition to the factions that pledged their support, the Witch Queen Iggwilv, or Tasha, also pledged to at least help the Queen's Rout with the superweapon that had been conceptualized by Hostu Twinsmiles. However, her aid was only in the creation of the weapon, and she did not have a presence in the actual assault on the Well of Dragons.
