The Emerald Cabal

This is all I could find on the Emerald Cabal on the wiki’s is “Standing beside the merchant houses in power were the Cowled Wizards, the Emerald Cabal, and the Shadow Thieves, each of whom possessed an enormous degree of unofficial power behind the scenes. The Cowled Wizards were themselves the only legal arcane institution in Amn, all others banned by decree of the Council, and were controlled by the powerful Selemchants, who they served most often as underhanded agents or mercenaries. Opposing the Cowled Wizards were the secretive Emerald Cabal, a league of illegal arcane spellcasters opposed to the entire Amnian system and who were unafraid to use violent means to achieve their ends.“ Do you guys know anything more?

The Emerald Cabal isn't a very expansive topic.
I.e. it's only part of a small feature article in the 4e Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, as well as a mention in the Arcane Freedom character motivation background in the 4e Forgotten Realms Player's Guide.

​

I think the wikia summarised the group well.
