Over the years, many followers of Bane noticed the social and fiscal benefits of working with the Zhentarim and the number of worshippers in Fzoul’s faction grew, while the High Imperceptor, often busy travelling throughout the Realms, continued to lose influence.

In the Year of the Prince (1357 DR), the High Imperceptor finally decided to do more than send demanding missives to the Black Altar in Zhentil Keep. He sent a delegation, headed by High Inquisitor Ginali, to yank the church of Bane in Zhentil Keep back under his control.
Closet supporters of the High Imperceptor were convinced to make a rash assault on Fzoul and the Black Altar.
