Sharpsword Coster

Headquarters: Врата Балдура, Sword Coast & Suzail, Cormyr Originally the Seven Suns Coster, this coster was taken over lock, stock, and barrel by the Zhentarim and absorbed into its operations. Shortly thereafter, however, one of the Zhents – one Rand Sharpsword, known for his skill in undermining and capturing caravans – made off with the top personnel and several caravans full of goods, wagons, and lifestock. They set up shop in Baldur's Gate, re-appearing as the Sharpsword Coster. Though the Zhentarim and the Sharpswords maintained a rollicking rivalry for several decades during the Wailing Years, Sharpsword eventually brokered a working agreement. Over the past century or so, Sharpsword has grown into one of the Gate's premier costers. Though they've never broken off ties with the Zhentarim, their alliance has become a thing of tradition more than policy. Today the Sharpswords have headquarters in both Baldur's Gate and Suzail, with their many caravans ranging between and out from both of them in all directions.

Sharpswords Cost, Waterdeep Offices

Dock Ward Though not a headquarters for the coster, the Sharpswords maintain a set of offices in Waterdeep that act as their logistics hub for all Sharpswords trade venturing into the North. One of the major undertakings this office does is arrange for cargos coming by ship from Baldur's Gate to be put into Sharpsword caravans bound by road into the rest of the North.
