## 1355 DR in conflicts

* Zhentil Keep betrays its allies in the Citadel of the Raven, murdering non-Zhent elements in the midst of a Zhent-sponsored orc attack. They take the Citadel and leave few survivors.
* Divinations reveal Zhent treachery before the Citadel is actually taken. Melvaunt sends its army to the Citadel ostensibly to relieve the garrison from the orc attack but actually to prevent Zhentil Keep from attacking the eastern Moonsea cities. The Zhentilar out-maneuver the relief army and rush to attack the relatively undefended Melvaunt. Melvaunt manages to hire an army of mercenaries from Hillsfar and deploy them by boat against the Zhents while they are still a days march from the city.
* Yulash falls in civil war and Zhentil Keep and Hillsfar move troops to the town.
* After retrieving the key to a closet in the Twisted Tower, Elminster and Storm Silverhand return home, only to be confronted by the lich Raerlin, who had hid his phylactery in said closet. After a brief but violent struggle, Storm manages to destroy the phylactery, defeating the lich.
* Zhentarim forces enslave the village of Snowmantle.
