Nine-Fingers-
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.
