The Hand of Yartar

The famous chronicler Volo once said that everyone in Yartar is after money or power — preferably both — in as short a time as possible. The Harpers, the Lords’ Alliance, and the Zhentarim compete within the city. The local thieves’ guild, the Hand of Yartar, vies for a larger piece of the action, but infighting has kept the guild from having much influence.
Within the guild, a new and deadly group is flourishing, comprising ambitious young female thieves and assassins. They are masters of disguise and infiltration, impersonating officials and commoners alike in order to steal, bribe, and murder.
The Hand of Yartar might work with the Zhentarim when it’s convenient for both parties.
