Zhentilar

The Zhentilar were formed sometime after the death of Zhentar in 753 DR as a group loyal to his vision. It was in response to the event in Zhentil Keep known as the Night Plague in 882 DR, that the group was expanded to form something similar to a an official army. The Zhentilar continued to expand with the rapid growth of the Keep to become one of the largest militaries in the Moonsea. The Zhentilar were nearly destroyed while under the rule of Cyric, and many campaigns by the lords of Cormyr nearly wiped them out, but under the leadership of Dharkon and servant of Bane, the army has grown to be the most powerful military on Toril.  It is now lead by Khelden Destarin and serves as a tyrannical controlling force across the realms.
