This pass toward Llorkh through the
Greypeak Mountains is guarded by a Zhentarim ally - a beholder and his gnoll minions
from nearby Dekanter. The beholder is wild and near uncontrollable, but honors
its deal with the Zhentarim since the agreement suits its present needs (and because
the Zhents pay extremely well). This pass is regularly traveled by Zhentarim caravans.
It's steeper and more demanding than Bleached Bones Pass to the south, but it's
easier to defend. A garrison of 30 purple-cloaked Lord's Men from Llorkh guard
the pass.
