Possibly the most powerful eye tyrant
in the lands of the northwest Inner Sea
lands, including the Moonsea cities,
Sembia. Cormyr, and the Dales since
the death of Xantriph (see Zhentarim),
Manxam does deal in the politics of men
as Xantriph did, but with a far lower
profile and fewer servant creatures.
Manxam is usually to be found in or
about the ruins of Teshwave. He is
thought to view the Zhentarim's bold
expansionist policies with increasing
alarm, thinking that they will lead to an
inevitable battle-union of all of Zhentil
Keep's foes, and the resulting defeat
and destruction of Zhentil Keep. Manx-
am, like most of the eye tyrants who
had cooperated with humankind in
Zhentil Keep prior to the rise of the
Zhentarim, resents and despises the
"upstart Mages" vastly preferring the
priests of Bane, who accorded behold·
ers the respect they see as their due.
Manxam's own strength and wealth are
unknown.
