Centuries of skirmishes and terrible encounters with the evils of Skull Mountain have made the Elven Kingdom of Seillon much more aware of the Black Network than most Akhenatens. You have witnessed warbands of evil humanoids do unspeakable harm to innocent townships and caravans, yet it is smaller groups of scouts and assassins that do the most damage and give the network its real reach and power. Agents of Skull Mountain are responsible for countless acts of sabotage, arson, murder, and many other dark deeds.
A particular merchant found skinned-alive, an oasis fouled, a temple set ablaze.... all these things and more they do under orders of greater evils and more devious minds pulling their strings. The black network manipulates the flow of trade around the region, destabilizes local authorities and ruins religious establishments. It is not always clear what grand schemes the Black Network have in mind, but it is certainly clear they covet most they can see from their impenetrable fortress and seek to burn the rest.
There is a particularly nasty relationship between elves and agents of skull mountain. If ever either side has the pleasure of capturing the other, there will certainly be no mercy given. The Moonblooded have always argued the the threat of the Drow is greater than any other, but most elves believe Skull Mountain (and by extension, the Black Network) are their worst threat. Most of the time, it is hard to argue that they're wrong.
