Zhentilar Military Ranks |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
The standing army of Zhentil Keep are generally referred to as Zhentilar, although the full title of their military machine is (as of 1372 DR) the Zhent Imperial Legion. Known for their crack discipline and brutal efficiency, the Imperial Legion is divided into two main branches of service: the Imperial Army and the Imperial Navy. Though the these units are rigidly organized, confusion can result because of the large number of mercenaries and non-human troops employed by Zhentil Keep. Though all of these troops wear the Zhentilar uniform and carry the Zhent banner, they are more often organized under local chiefs or mercenary leaders, who often have very different views than the Zhent commanders on proper unit structure.
The following is the official list of ranks for Zhentilar soldiers and officers. Those of noble standing commonly preface their rank with "Lord." |

Zhentilar: A term used to distinguish the military forces of Zhentil Keep from the forces of the Zhentarim. "Zhentilar" refers to the standing Zhent military.
Zhentarim: A member of the Zhentarim secret society or the group as a whole. Zhentarim can be in the Zhent army or not. |
