Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gregor" data-source="post: 1027157" data-attributes="member: 11751">Having a city such as Waterdeep fall, causes some major problems in the balance of power throughout the realms.  Having the concentration of Zhent forces in such a major political area AND in control of said area, is going to create some interesting results.  Many other city states / nations are going to see this as a threat to their wellbeing and or security.  So, I do not think it would be odd for alot of them to create temporary alliances to march against the occupying Zhents.  Neverwinter, Luskan, Silverymoon would probably march to ensure that the Zhent army doesnt decide to conquer the rest of the north.  Or alternatively, you could toss in more political intrigue and have Luskan ally with the new occupied Waterdeep to split the spoils of a conquered North.  You would also have some of the states to the south of Waterdeep move upon the Zhents as well.    However, If that many Zhents (you'd need alot of high level npcs / generals / etc as well as the army itself) all placed in one area, what kind of security was left at home in Zhentil Keep?  Could the Dalelands not rally and see this as an opportunity to depose the Zhents from that area once and for all?  Does this cause Sembia to march on the Dalelands seeing them as too strong a power after conquering Zhentish areas?  Does that draw Cormyr into the fray?  This could possible cause all of Faerun to fall into multiple conflicts......and that's just cool.You would also definitely have Elminster, The Seven Sisters and many other super NpCs moving to the aid of Waterdeep.There is ALOT you can do with this.Cheers,</blockquote>
