Forgotten Realms organizations simular to any in Pathfinder?

[roll4initiative]

Specifically the Harpers and Zhentarim. We need organizations other than any of the Pathfinder Society factions.

There are far more organizations in Golarion, check out the Faction Guide. If you're looking for do-gooder groups, Eagle Knights or Mendevian Crusaders might be your coup of tea. If you need some bad boys gone worse, Red Mantis Assassins or Aspis Consortium will do, along with Whispering Way or perhaps Hellknights or Bloodstone Swords to a degree.

You can even make up a few of your own:

United Society for the Unification of the Common Kobold (USUCK)
Supreme Headquarters of Interkingdom Espionage, Law and Divinity (SHIELD)

The guys in my home game are new to Pathfinder and we take turns GMing. One of the guys will be running something he created back when we were doing 3.5 Forgotten Realms and he needs organizations as close to the Harpers and Zhents as possible. Similiar motivations and members, mainly. I will check out what you listed. Thanks.

The easy one would be Pathfinder Society and the Aspis Consortium.

[darkwarriorkarg]

Pathfinder is the harpers as exploere, rather than meddlers...
The do-gooding is more the Eagle Knights of Andoran
Crusaders as generally more concerned with the demon invasion...

Aspis==> Zhents is a good match... or even some hellknights and the Church of Asmodeus, working hand in hand with the rulers of Cheliax

Hellknights, for a Judge Dredd-ish theme. (I... am the Law. Prepare to be Judged!)

Red mantis takes ove rthe for-hire assassinations of Bhaal/Cyric

Norgorber is a good analogy for Cyric (in saner moments)

This may be just what one of the guys was looking for. Thanks!
