A lot of people have been talking in the city about the Lords. Many believe since Khelben "Blackstaff" died over a decade ago that the true power base of the Lords is gone. Some say that the Lords have no way of summoning the Walking Statues, no control over the Dragonward and no real intimidation factor against power groups such as the Red Wizards, the Zhentarim or the Arcane Brotherhood.
Some have whispered that Khelben the Younger is responsible for all of this by revealing Tsarra Chaadren as an "imposter" posing as the "Blackstaff". Because of this, the city doesn't have a High Mage.
Of course, no one is confident enough to object to the Masked Lords' rule, at least not yet. But whispers and shadows are stirring...
