Zhentarim annex Isinhold

[olwentheold]

Propaganda being spread throughout Zhentil Keep, Redmist, Proskur, and Isinhold. Word quickly reaches the Cormyrian border as well.

A massive force of Zhentarim forces, numbering in the thousands, entered Isinhold earlier this day, annexing the backwater village with little resistance. The Council of Elders were quick to surrender the village to Zhentarim authority and the former village of Cormyr is now considered part of the Zhentarim Empire.

The 9th, 18th, 22nd Zhentarim Army and the 13th Elite Guard now occupy the village as they prepare their advance into Cormyr.

Meanwhile, the 10th and 14th Zhentarim Army pave the way in northern Redmist to secure grounds for the planned invasion.

All Hail Zhentil Keep!! All Hail the High Lord of Zhentil Keep!!


Another proclaimation found throughout Isinhold:

Business and adventurers are allowed to proceed with their business - provided no trouble is caused. All weapons must be sheathed at all times or the offender will be faced with the one and only punishment available - death.

OOC NOTE: Pls consider Isinhold and northern Redmist crawling with hundreds of Zhentarim forces. Should there be a reset while I'm not around, pls RP it that they're always around. Attack the army at your own risk - as some of you can attest to - attacking an entire army (or even a few armies) is not a wise course of action at all.

*word spreads throughout the commoners of Isinhold that those wishing to leave the village should travel north and east of Isinhold to the mountain village of Skull Crag to avoid the Zhentarium army on their march to Redmist. from their one only need to pay for a wagon to traverse the Storm Horns to Eveningstar where they will be far from the dangerous South Western corner of Cormyr*

*there is talk of a magical tree in Eveningstar that can bring people to Suzail*

//DM's feel free to limit or enhance this post. I made it so that newer player's characters will be able to find their way out of Isinhold without walking through advancing forces. It wouldn't really make much sense otherwise.

*A Zhentarim Declaration is posted throughout Isinhold*

By order of Lord Arak, all persons of elvish descend are to leave Isinhold within the next new moon. Failure to abide by this ruling will result in punishment most severe - skinning alive and beheading. Elves and those of elvish lineage are henceforth banned from entry.
