Here follows a report on the inroads upstart smuggler Enver Gortash has been making on the illicit arms trade in the Chionthar Valley, though 'inroads' badly understates the case - 'annexation' would be more apt. The former black market leaders, the Knights of the Shield and (outside the city) the Zhentarim, have largely been supplanted by Gortash's operation.
Illegal arms have never been a major component of the Guild's business, but given his apparent ambitions it would be unwise to assume that Gortash will stop there. He bears watching - closely.
Notes
- Addressed to Nine-Fingers Keene, sent by her associate Bursar Uktar.
- Mentions the history of Enver Gortash, in terms of what activities he participated in to rise to power.
- Mentions the Zhentarim and Guild criminal factions.
- Wiki Icon is not an exact match; the icon used in-game is a weird rotated version, for some reason.
