Shades of the Pretender

Memnon is never a boring or peaceful city. One of the Biggest ports of the Sword Coast and Gateway to Calimshan is vivid and colorful, but can also be dangerous. Recently however it is experiencing new things, that even for standards of Memnon are odd. Zhents, fanatics from Thay became active within the city, causing a lot of disturbance both for law abiding citizens and criminals as well. Temples of Selune and Tyr have sent request for help throughout the Sword Coast, looking for those knowledgeable in dealing with fanatics or at least willing to openly resist them. Zhents have never been interested in Calimshan so local authorities have little to none experience how to handle them. Or have they?!
In the meantime 2 of the most prominent merchants of the city, Vorkhan Al-Azar and Kharim Bezra, long term partners and friends, members of city council and Ministers of Pasha, became openly hostile to each other. Dispute erupted around common business that turned into disaster and both blaming the other one. Eventually conflict escalated beyond any control and now both of them are recruiting soldiers of fortune, mercenaries and even common criminals to build an army capable to destroy the other one. Civil war is on the brink. And even Pasha is clueless how to deal with the problem, but something must be done because at this point city is ticking time bomb.
In the river of new faces, vagabonds, troublemakers, thieves, bandits, murderers and mercenaries, there is few of a different kind. Those are the ones who can make a difference and bring order back to the troubled City, or they can be the last nail to the coffin. Soon the time will give the answer.

Greetings Dear Players!
My name is Paul (40 years old with over 20 years of experience in RPG as DM) and I've prepared a campaign for you, set in the famous Forgotten Realms, which starts at the Sword Coast in the City of Memnon. It is made for 5 players, who will start at lvl 3 and should get to lvl 20 before final confrontation. Campaign should last few months (at least 5) and will take you on unexpected journey to some rarely visited parts of Faerun. If you would like to find out where will you get and how one insignificant decision can influence a situation of entire region and destabilize multiple states sign up and dive into the story.
We will be playing every Tuesday starting around 7pm EST (the time can be adjusted according to individual situation of players, we will discuss time of session specifically once the team will assemble).
If you would like to take part in this campaign, please reply to this topic with information about which character archetype would you like to play as, what is your time zone and a little about yourself. Also send me PM regarding your application with discord ID. We will have a short conversation 1 on 1 to decide if we will find a common tongue.

I am looking forward to your replies!
