One of the Lords of Zhentil Keep, this
seasoned, ruthless veteran of the
Moonsea-area wars is a wealthy merchant
in his own right, building ore-refining
and caravan-running concerns
into much coinage, and maintaining, in
the guise of his normal work-force, a
strong body guard of around 60 or
70 men-at-arms. This last shrewd
measure that has undoubtedly ensured
his own personal survival in the noble
hierarchy of Zhentil Keep throughout
the rise of the Zhentarim. Outwardly,
these days, Orgauth supports the Zhen-
tarim (and indeed, often their aims and
projects coincide with his own), but h e
will suppor t activities that will work
against the Zhentarim, or betray their
more reckless or ill-founded projects.
For example, Orgauth has fed several
key items of information, such as garri-
son strengths and reinforcements
times for Yulash, and later, plans for the
re-taking of that place, via his carvans to
Maalthiir in Hillsfar, whose rule he
wants to maintain, as a check against
the expansionist desires of the Zhentarim.
Orgauth believes that an empire
based in Zhentil Keep would overreach
and weaken the city's military strength,
and earn it t he enmity of those con-
quered, which would among other
things hurt Orgauth's TRADE prospects.
Orgauth's livery is russet and scarlet;
his arms are a russet raven striking, tal-
ons out, on a scarlet field. He can be
contacted through his offices in his citadel
in the northeastern area of Zhentil
Keep .
