Zhentarim (zˈhɛntɑːrɪm/ z-HENT-ah-rim)

The Zhentarim previously known as the Black Network, was a mercenary company, and greater mercantile organization in Faerûn, who, over their 200 years of existence, has had a storied history as a cadre of self-serving thieves, spies, assassins and malevolent wizards,[10] who for a time, were indentured by their leaders to serve dark gods Bane and Cyric. Over the decades, the organization experienced several leaps and bounds in terms of successes, but also major misfortune, particularly for their historical strongholds around the Moonsea.

Beliefs

• The Zhentarim is your family. You watch out for it, and it watches out for you.
