Whats up with the Zhents coming back from the dead?
[Thanks to Ami-Ben Ezra for this section.] Both Manshoon and Fzoul were killed many times. Manshoon returns to life by the means of a secret spell-“Stasis clone”. Manshoon is known to have many clones hidden in secret places. Fzoul was resurrected by the Zhentarim/Bane because he is such a “valuable” person. Even Sememmon was resurrected by Manshoon a couple of times. To Conclude this: All Three leaders of the Zhentarim(The inner circle)returned from death by various means. As for the locations: Both Manshoon and Fzoul lived in Zhentil Keep before it was destroyed.(Manshoon lived in his own compound “The Tower High”) After the destruction Manshoon moved to the safety of the Citadel of the Raven and Fzoul stays in the keep, now he worships the Godson of Bane Iyachtu Xvim. Sememmon is the commander of Darkhold and lived there (since 1312DR) before and after the destruction. At one point, multiple Manshoon clones were created, resulting in what’s affectionately known as the “Manshoon Wars
