@Stevemllr, Check out the KOTN family. They have a variety of alliances for whatever level you wish to join up at and then as you progress, KOTN has places for you to strut your stuff. I believe their lowest alliance is hitting 9s and one of their top 100 alliances a few months back chaines 100 - 14s.
They’re a great bunch of people. Here’s their recruitment page: ⭐️ North Alliances recruiting. Top alliance family, having all level alliances. Check the stars in game and the latest post here
