Zhentarim Control . Around the time that iron and silver production from the nearby hills started to wane , Zhentarim agents began to arrive . Soon thereafter , in 1353 DR , the last of the old Lords , Phintarn Redblade , was found dead at the base of Lord ' s Keep . Overnight , the Zhentarim installed their own man , Geildarr Ithym , in the Lord ' s Keep . Four hundred " Lord ' s Men " arrived and slaughtered all of the militia under the pretext that they were trouble - makers . A significant number of townsfolk left Llorkh , along with the dwarves . As soon as control over the town was consolidated , Zhentarim caravans began to arrive from the Anauroch . Llorkh thus became the western end of the Zhentarim trade route , the Black Road , and a point from which to further trade interests in western Faerûn . The Zhentarim maintained both a significant number of soldiers and three hundred purple - cloaked Lord ' s Men . These defended the city against orc s , adventurers and ungrateful townsfolk . 1479 DR .
