The Rise and Fall of Zhentil Keep - Forgotten Realms Lore
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2017
- Much confusion exists in the Realms regarding Zhentil Keep and the, not so, secret society known as the Zhentarim.
The two are so closely tied, that you may refer to one when meaning the other and still be clearly understood.
In other words, they both mean trouble.
While Manshoon has taken claim on making Zhentil Keep such a known place, I put most of the blame on Elminister. His constant battles with Manshoon has made this place almost as well known as Shadowdale.
On par with Skullport, Zhentil Keep has made a mark on the Realms and despite being constantly under attack, it always makes its way back into fashion.
This video is most likely the last history area video for a while. Faerun History now shifts focus to more detailed descriptions of culture and lore.

04:33-05:15 - To anyone interested, the son referred to here is called Iyachtu Xvim and was a half-demon.
During the Time of Troubles, he found himself imprisoned within Zhentil Keep, but was later released
by the followers of his father and accepted as his replacement, named "The New Darkness."
A few years later, Xvim was consumed by flame, which resulted in the reincarnation of Bane himself.
MadHatterHimself we need to get mad hatter's responses before publishing and add them to the end of the videos like all the important info shoved in at the end of a drug advertisement, read micro machines style
You guys really know how to polish my ego.
Ok, first of all, I really love these videos. I've been a fan and player since '85.
I have a Keep in my own homebrew campaign named "Shadow Keep". I've fashioned it from the lore of Zhentil Keep.
I also, have a question. Would you be able to do a video on the realms of Vaasa? I've always been intrigued by that region and I can never really find any reliable sources or information on it.
The best video until now.
You do AMAZING work! The only issue I spotted was you incorrectly called Chess Manshoon’s brother. Manshoon did have a brother once, but his name was Asmuth I think.
I loved the old boxed set, did a ton of adventures there.
Word. The 1E grey box for FR is the best.
I really love the videos you're making, it's something we D&D fans need :) Also, I couldn't but notice the similarities with shoddycast's TES lore, and that is something I really appreciate, I mean they're quite pioneers of the lore videos genre as far as I know. Have you ever talked with them to try to get some feedback? They might like what you're doing here and help spread the knowledge of faerun. Anyways, you've got a new subscriber on your list :D keep up the good work and let us know if there are any other way to support these videos and future videos to come.
Google suggested this video to me and I'm glad it did.
Dunno if I heard this right. A strange priest named "Breast"? An interesting name XD

Your videos rock - keep it up man!!
Another interesting historical place is Warlocks Crypt or Dragon Coast.
Really good thanks. Another on the Zhentarim faction would be great too
4:50 Didn't Cyric cull together this monstrous army to attack Zhentil Keep and he was going to destroy the army so that he would appear as the city's saviour but Fzoul, rather than read the Cyrinshad (A book that would make any reader or listener a devout follower of Cyric) in the town square, he read the "True Life of Cyric", which made everyone aware of Cyric's true origins and lost what faith he had gained in the city. So rather than save the city he called for the army to destroy it.
I was about to comment on this, yes Cyric was the cause of this attack on the city.
You guys should totally do a video on the time Manshoon thought it would be a GREAT idea to make a bunch of clones of himself. Spoilers: it ended very badly.
Character videos are not really our thing, but perhaps one day.
@@ForgottenRealmsHistory Ah, I understand. Still, thanks for the reply!
ahhhhhhh Zhentil Keep my my old stomping ground so sad i must start playing again it will be made sgain
i have made a decision im going back i will take that keep now i need to find a good DM
if you wish i will dig up my old Bane Knight priest one of the most beloved character from zentil keep 13 different players always begged me to play him and ill tell you his story its long old spanning from the time of troubles till bane was reborn
if that is a yes you wish this Im going to need to dig through boxes and have a sit down with my wife to pull up the hole story it spans about 20 real life years of game play between two characters we where kinda famous oh my this has been a long time
i think my wife would love to tell the tale and i might just love it to
awesome video
Awesome content!
Thats a good informative video.
May I ask how strong was Zhentar? What level wizard?
Well done!!!
Thanks :)
Yeah. I prefer it before it fell tho. It's the Realms that I grew up with. I mean, I'm 35
I have high hopes for it being rebuilt at some point soon. It might not need be Zhentarim, but I sure hope it is.
IDK much lore after 3rd edition/V 3.5.....I have the entire system memorized. No need for books while running a game. On EXTREMELY rare occasions. My point is that it's too late for me to switch editions. We have fun & that's what really matters.
Really a cood DM for that system only truly needs to memorize the Skills chapter, the Combat chapter & a few pieces of the DMG. Oh, and almost the entire MM. LoL
I'm with you.
Realms ca. 1350 - 1380 DR is my jam.
I've been running the same Undermountain/Waterdeep adventures since the early 1990s.
I only just recently converted from 2nd to 3rd edition.
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself I haven't played in a long time & all the 4E & 5E changes are a little alien. Last Realms content I played in was 2nd Edition Advanced. Time of Troubles
Seriously, you guys don't have to do the "like,share,subscribe" thing everybody knows that. And forcing every video take forever to end.... is really making the experience of listening to an entire playlist far less enjoyable
I really like the style of your videos. What software do you use to create the animations?
Like, share, subscribe... oh, you cheeky git.
Some funky pronunciations, but good video nonetheless!
I have a cleric of Bane in AL he Is a survival of the fittest type of character😈💯
In my game Zhentil Keep never fell as the Time of Troubles never happened as Bane never "dies". Cyric is dumb and I decided the ToTs was lame af.
Sometimes official canon is just not good.
Long live Zhentil Keep.
All my character heard was loot and XP blah blah blah everything else lawless city undead translation level 21 here I come!!! Murder hobos! Assemble!!
Anyone that downvoted this video should be turned into a green slime.
I made it to about 1:46 and I can only say one thing, the p,h, is silent.
