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.
