Llorkh

Llorkh was a important mining town of 2,000 humans and 300 dwarves. The iron and silver from the nearby hill started to run out and the the Zhentarim arrived and the last of the old Lords, Phintarn Redblade, was found dead at the base of Lord's Keep. Overnight the Zhentarim installed thier own man, Geildarr Ithym (a 7th level 2ndEd. Mage), in the Lord Keep. Four hundred Lord's Men arrived and slaughtered all the malitia under the pretext they were trouble makers. This did not please the townsfolk and the dwarves left. Then the Zhentarim caravans started to arrive from The Black Road.

Trade
Llorkh is an important, though small, trading town. It is the west end of The Black Road and is the Zhentarim's main base in The North. The Dawn Pass Trail feeds the Zhentarim goods west towards Waterdeep.

History
Llorkh was founded by Netherese fleeing the downfall of their kingdom. Later on, further settlement occured by pioneers from Waterdeep, sponsored by Waterdhavian families.
