Greetings, so far I had I had been pretty curious about the rumored "Special Forces" of Waterdeep's military. Can I ask the veteran and elite scribes of Candlekeep about their:
1) Other nicknames?
2) Group mark colors and livery?
3) Goals and Objectives?
4) History and what motivates them?
5) Organization Leadership? Size numbers?
6) The current members of the organization and their member's backgrounds?
7) Methods?
8) Resources and power?
9) Headquarters of command?
10) Allies and Foes?
Sorry people, I really do not have the books, lore and stuff about them, so sorry if the questions are a bit lengthy.

1) "Khelben's Whelps," "the Blackstaff's Hunting Pack," "those tluiners who soured our deal with [insert group here]," etc.
2) None really to speak of that I'm aware of, unless Eric's added something to the mix.
3) Keep Waterdeep safe when the Guard/Watch could be overwhelmed; help the Blackstaff when he asks; be on the lookout for like-minded folks who might fit the group.
4) That'd be something I've no idea at present; maybe ask Ed and/or Jeff Grubb on that one (or see if Eric's created their history and not told me 
5) Jardwim is the unquestioned leader in the field; the Blackstaff's the unquestioned leader in general (not the Lords per se). Numbers are a little hazier, as it suits them to be like the Lords and not have their true size known (though 5 to 8 are perennials and oft-named like Maliantor, Carolyas, Jardwim, Harshnag, and others. Asper's a common ally but she's not a member so far as I know.
6) Covered that a little above. See the latest Waterdeep book for more on each of them.
7) Hit things until they stop moving. Or talk to them, if they're friendlier.
8) As limited as the Watch and as unlimited as whatever toys Khelben sees fit to grant them.
9) Dunno; Eric, has this ever been detailed, or do they also vaguely operate out of their own secret sub-level of Blackstaff Tower?
10) Whoever counts themself as such to the Blackstaff could loosely be counted as the same with Force Grey. |

Hehe... "Khelben's 501st" maybe? Would that be "Khelben's Fists?"

I do not think Khelben is worthy of the 501st. Only one person is allowed the almighty 501st.

Hmmm... "Darth Larloch"... That just rolls off the tongue  . "Darth Halaster"... I like the way that sounds .
