Deep in an area known as the Stonelands, above a compound ruled over by zhentarimm, a smoke-signal-like and colossal form of Banes Black Fist has been seen and can be rumored to be spotted a time or two in a week. This colossal smoke and ashy signal is most ominous and foreboding of a challenge to come..
Travelers heading north of Eveningstar are additionally cautioned of spotting of Rakshasa among the wilds.

*Back at the Keep Maven, “Captain of the guard", receives a report from her agents to the north confirming the presence of the Rakshasa near Thunderstone as well as the smoke-signal-like form of Banes Black Fist in the Stonelands*
Maven: *Talking to herself* I need to inform our Dread Knight.

The Triadic Order from its keep high up in the Storm Horns bordering the Stonelands, sends regular patrols after the Black Hand's Fist manifests itself in the skies above.
Having relieved Faerun of several competing Zhentarim patrols, Knights of the Divine Resurrection return with stories to tell of their quests.
With the information consolidated, messengers are dispatched from the Bastion of Three Truths to Suzail to inform the Crown.
The Order sets regular patrols along the border area by the keep, keeping a watchful eye out for any excursions southward by the Zhent.
The Adeodatus Superweapon is in turn, readied for use as necessary.

After attuning the portal to direct him to Eveningstar The Dreadmaster walks north towards the Stonelands waiting to see if this visage of Bane appears before him.

Elsewhere in the realms, a scene unfolds before the Dreadmaster... //PM me on preferred account, include DM Flash and Private P please
Meanwhile...
The Triadic Knights not only can & do curb a lot of riled-up Zhentarimm patrols, it becomes evident they are being tracked, stalked, and watched by a grave evil of a fiendish kind. The rumors of Rakshasa are more than true: detect evil grants the insight of something so sinister nearby, but these cunning foes keep a great distance. Watching where they can, and being expert predators that take notes.
Centered in this growing tension is Warlord Uburcheks people who grow increasingly worried for their safety. Though the past had never been graceful, there are innocents at risk here. Their shaman and soldiers ready for concerns on an attack from who-knows-what anymore! Zhentarimm? Rakshasa? Adventurers? Triadics? The orc people are on-edge and readied for as best they can.
What will be known as The Asset arrives soon from the depths of the Anauroch.

A long journey nears an end for a Legion of Zhentarim that march across the Anauroch, making their way towards the Stonelands.
Four robbed holy men carry on their backs what looks like an ark that contains their Asset.
Once more Banes black fist of influence is seen rising as a smoky signal above a clandestine compound. Soon though, this lone banner bearer/creator is brought down and killed for mystery reasons yet revealed. There will be no more signals but this final one.
The Rakshasa between Eveningstar & the Stonelands have either vacated or become very patient stalkers. No word or update of the lot there, but the local tribe of Uburcheks people remain on-edge and seem readied for a conflict to come.
The sizeable force of the zhentarim have their eyes set for their final destination. The soldiers coming cannot bode well.
