Parchment flyers begin to appear within the reach of the Zhentarim - pinned to crossroads, posts, and boards wherever the Black Network’s presence is permitted. Pressed into the parchment is a seal - bearing the Zhentarim 'Z' logo.

Power. Prosperity. Protection.

There are known foundations on which the strong build lasting success and no alliance in Faerun embodies these virtues more than The Black Network - a place for those who know the weight of a gold piece and the worth of a strong hand.

Do you find yourself holding an empty coin purse and searching for purpose? Are you a caravan guard seeking steadier work, a mercenary striving for notable profit, a clever trader with wares that deserve a wider market, a priest seeking sanctuary, or a mage desiring break new ground in aspects of the arcane? This is your call to action.

The Black Network offers more than employment, it offers belonging and a fellowship of merchants, explorers, craftsmen, divine messengers, scholars and protectors not bound by the conditions of birth or status, but through shared ambition, disciplined conduct, and dedication.

You will be provided the tools and skills needed to succeed, offered mentorship, strict training, and knowledge to not only improve your lot in life but better oneself. Zhentarim merchants are taught to profit wisely, guards are trained to strike precisely, and envoys are empowered to speak with authority. The success of The Black Network funds cities, rebuilds keeps, and fills purses with membership granting opportunities of an adventurous and political nature.

Wherever trade is centered, our banners promise order, profit, and protection. Where the self-righteous and conceited offer assistance in exchange for influence, the Zhentarim deal in results and the mutual prosperity of those wise enough to see beyond old fears and narrow guild walls. Whether your talents lie in negotiation, swordplay, spellcraft, divinity, or simple cunning, Darkhold has a place for those who know how to make things happen and ensure they persist, restricted only by the limits of personal ambition.

Within Zhentarim ranks the hard work of honest men is recognized by the Lord Castellan, Zerros Ozmir.

Our creed is simplified with these three tenants:
  • Prosperity through unity.
  • Security through strength.
  • Reward through merit.
The Black Network pays well and remembers its friends. If you have the skill, wit, and determination needed to see your fortunes rise, if you are willing dedicate yourself to an infallible future and the betterment of the Sword Coast, Darkhold awaits.

// OOC - The Zhentarim are recruiting. We are looking for Agents, traders, merchants, divine spellcasters, arcanists, mercenaries, assassins, soldiers and more. Contact "Lord Zerros Ozmir" directly in-game ICly or reach out to Valleriani on the boards OOCly for any inquires and coordination.

Parchment flyers begin to appear across the Western Heartlands - Specifically pinned directly near or over the Zhentarim recruitment posters, should any be found and should hers be allowed to linger. She would be discreet and diligent, multiple copies left in close proximity.

Faith, Fellowship, Freedom
The Hunter’s Moon Lodge:
A Light for the Wanderer, a Shield for the Good.

We stand guard for the free. We’ve seen the Zhentarim’s History of offered protection paid for in fear, bought in coin, and kept through pain. Triel stands as a beacon to the failures of the Zhentarim to keep a boot to our throats.

Let the Hunter’s Moon Lodge help.
We can offer:
• Safe Passage Escorts:
 For farmers and traders traveling to Baldur’s Gate or Elturel.
 Travel by moonlight, not by fear; our hunters walk beside you.
• Harvesting Assistance:
 Keep what is yours without any false contracts or chains.

The Hunter’s Moon Lodge welcomes hunters, explorers, craftsmen, and faithful souls who believe that good work, honest coin, and fellowship under the stars are worth more than any tyrant’s favor or false promises.
The Zhentarim play host to Drow and Slaves. Until both are publicly admonished, they do not and will not work towards the greater good and your best interests.

The Knight-Lord Lyonaler has been seen about the city of Baldur's Gate after a time away.His time within the City proper tends to be dominated by meetings with a varied gathering of people as well as time spent speaking with the Council of Four.

When not about the City, he is oft again seen within the Fort at Radiant Crossing. The troop there is inspected and drilled once more upon the open fields next to the Fort. There is talk that the Lord of the Fort is looking over design changes as well as the possibility of a small military school and a public shrine to the Red Knight's worship.
